You Deserve Training That Actually Works

You deserve training that actually works—for your goals, your body, and your life. That means more than just a plan to follow. It means understanding how to train, how to fuel, and how to recover so you stop doing too much of the wrong thing and finally make real progress.

We offer downloadable plans and one-on-one coaching to help you train with clarity, stay consistent, and actually feel good doing it.

Hi! I'm Coach Elisabeth

I started Running Explained because I got tired of feeling like I was doing everything wrong.

Like so many runners, I spent years thinking I wasn’t fast enough, strong enough, or tough enough. I blamed myself when things didn’t work—when I got injured, burned out, or couldn’t hit the paces.

But the truth? It wasn’t me.
And it’s not you, either.

Most runners are handed training plans with zero context and told to just "try harder." That ends here.

I built Running Explained to change the story. To give you the tools, the support, and the knowledge to train in a way that works for your body, your life, and your goals. You’re not doing it wrong. You’ve just been missing the right foundation.

Let’s build it, together.
