Five transformations.
Five start points.
Five great outcomes.
Read Natalia's, Sophie's, Roberta's, Tim's and Alejandro's stories below.
THE RISING STAR
Natalia
“I have everything, except peace.”
Natalia’s Instagram was rooftop sunsets, first class flights and designer wellness. Behind it she was running on empty: energy scattered across time zones, poor sleep, a reactive diet and a body starting to rebel. She was not looking for a bootcamp. She needed someone to listen first, then guide her back to herself.
We began with twenty minute treadmill sessions in hotel gyms, paired with breathwork and small changes to her evenings: food timing, water, less reactive snacking and purpose back in her movement. By month three she was running three times a week, sleeping properly and three kilograms lighter. After her first sub 30 minute 5k in Milan: “I haven’t felt this in control of my body in years.”
Now: chasing a 10k PB, three runs a week in every time zone, and training as a Leader in Running Fitness.
THE RECLAIMER
Sophie
“I want to feel how I used to. Not fast. Just free.”
Sophie used to run. Half marathons, tough trails. She was the strong one, back then. Then her business grew, her family needed her, and the treadmill became a guilt mirror.
We started deliberately small: walk run intervals for her headspace as much as her legs, and a guided run together each week to take the guesswork out and help her feel safe in the dark. No spreadsheets, no pace targets. Then a progressive plan built around her real week, runs on the Cotswold trails on her doorstep, strength work, fuelling with purpose and proper sleep, and a local half marathon with no time pressure. She crossed the line with her arms up and tears running freely: “I finally feel like myself again.”
Now: building towards her first ultra distance trail event, with strength work a permanent fixture for longevity and confidence.
NEW TO RUNNING
Roberta
“I’ve never done anything just for me.”
When Roberta first got in touch she whispered more than spoke. Her days had been defined by motherhood, care and service. Then menopause arrived, and with it something unexpected: restlessness. She wanted adventure, clarity and the space to decide who she was becoming.
We started slowly. Morning walks, then walk run intervals, then a simple, consistent plan that helped her sleep better, eat to support her energy and build back stamina. No judgement, no pressure. She chose her own goal: a 10k with her daughter. Not just to finish, but to prove she still had fire. She did. “For once, this was just for me. And I’m proud of that.”
Now: training for a spring half marathon, running regularly with her husband, and planning a trail retreat weekend. Life after 50 can still be fierce, feminine and free.
THE EXECUTIVE
Tim
“I get through the day, but I don’t feel anything anymore.”
Tim looked like he had it all together: Senior Partner, reliable dad, loyal friend. But the energy had gone. His back hurt, his sleep was broken and his confidence was eroding. He needed a reset, not a roar.
We rebuilt from the ground up: posture work, breathing, walk runs and daily heat on his back to get the circulation moving. Then structure: three runs a week, better food, hydration and clarity. Quietly, he set himself a goal. A half marathon by spring. One message arrived at 6.40am: “I woke up before my alarm today. Ran 6k. I feel proud. That hasn’t happened in years.”
Now: half marathon done, trail intervals in the plan, and a target of under 1:45 next time. He trains in silence but with fierce intent.
THE MILESTONE CHASER
Alejandro
“I feel heavy. Foggy. Disconnected. I don’t recognise myself.”
Alejandro had always been the spark, in business, in his circle, in any room. Then burnout. His fridge was a mess and so was his sleep. He did not need a plan. He needed a lifeline.
We began with presence: walks, gentle structure and a fourteen day sugar reset to calm things down. Then meals, movement and consistency, in that order. He committed to a marathon twelve months out. Not for a time, but to prove to himself that he could follow through. After marathon number one: “I’m back. I’m new. And I love it.”
Now: 30 km a week, cooking his own meals, and training for marathon number two with a leaner, stronger body and a quieter mind.
