If you've been told to accept that slowing down is inevitable, but you’re not done with running yet!
So you’ve tried running more miles, a more demanding training plan and stricter eating
and instead you got heavier, lost muscle, and felt slower and more tired than ever before!
YOU'RE NOT FAILING. YOUR TRAINING IS
Your midlife body needs a different training approach.
The Runners Reset is different. It's specifically designed to fix the metabolic shutdown that’s stealing your energy, power and speed.
In 2–4 weeks you’ll start feeling leaner, stronger, and more like your old running self again — and in 12 weeks you’ll be race-ready without running extra miles, exhausting or starving yourself.
Does this sound familiar?
❌ You're putting in the work—logging miles, following plans—but you're getting slower, not faster
❌ Workouts that used to leave you energised now leave you wiped out for days
❌ You’re losing muscle and strength, and you’ve notice you’re storing more fat even though you’re trying to be careful with food
❌ You feel confused and unheard because your younger running friends are getting great results following the exact same training approach
❌ And you’re tired of being told “you’re just older,” but you worry your best running days are behind you
Here's the truth:
YOUR BODY ISN’T FAILING
YOU’RE TRYING TO TRAIN WITH THE WRONG TRAINING APPROACH
Most running programmes totally ignore the metabolic, physiology and hormonal shifts that take place in your 40’s and 50’s:
- Declining cardiovascular fitness and Vo2 max that makes every run feel harder
- Muscle loss that steals your power and speed
-Slower recover, you're sometimes aching stiff and sore for days
- Shifting hormone patterns that change how you respond to nutrition and training
YOU NEED A TRAINING APPROACH THAT ADDRESSES THE REAL PROBLEM:
A metabolic shutdown that demands smarter training, targeted strength work, and hormone-aware fuelling and recovery
INTRODUCING THE MENOPAUSE RUNNING ACADEMY RUNNERS RESET
A 12-week, coach-led programme created for midlife women runners who want to stop the metabolic slowdown and start running stronger, faster and leaner again
HERE'S WHAT THE RUNNERS RESET WILL DO
✅ Restore speed and VO2 with targeted speed workouts
✅ Rebuild lean muscle and running power with short, effective strength workouts
✅ Repair metabolic function so your body burns fuel more efficiently at rest and during runs
✅ Improve recovery and energy by aligning training and nutrition with your midlife hormones
And here's the best part:
You'll see measurable improvements in 2–4 weeks and race-ready fitness in 12 weeks
This isn’t another harder-plan-you-can-’t-sustain
It’s a science-backed, practical reset that will help you run faster and stronger, and feel better in yourself, your running and your life!
I'm Helen Phillips
I’m a running and nutrition coach who specialises in helping women in their 40’s and 50’s regain speed, stamina, and confidence.
Since 2018 I’ve guided hundreds of women through the exact struggles you face: slowing pace, lost strength, creeping weight, and excessive fatigue.
What makes the Runners Reset different:
- It’s designed around for your specific midlife female physiology. It’s not a one-size-fits-all runners plan. I combine targeted speed-work and strength, metabolic conditioning, and hormone-aware recovery strategies that directly address the causes of midlife slowdown.
- Training informed by experts and certifications: I’ve completed training in menopause-focused coaching and studied methods from specialists like Stacy Sims and Molly Galbraith (founder of Girls Run Strong) to ensure the programme supports midlife women’s unique needs.
- Real-world results: clients consistently report regained energy, measurable pace improvements, reduced weight and increased muscle tone within weeks—not months.
“After 8 weeks on the Runners Reset I dropped 6 lbs, my tempo pace improved by 30 seconds/mile, and I finally stopped feeling wiped out after hard sessions.” — Sarah, 48
When you stop fighting your body and start training with it, you don’t have to accept slower— you can run your strongest races yet!
YES, I KNOW A THING ABOUT RUNNING AND MENOPAUSE
600+ runners coached over the last 8 years
"I should be able to figure this out on my own" ... this Race Ready Runner didn't have to!
When I got my place to run London Marathon, my running consisted of the occasional 10k and running with friends to catch up on gossip. 2022 was a big year, I turned 50 (gulp) had clear signs of impending menopause, crunching knees and a serious lack of spare time.
How to start? What to eat? How to train? All the plans online looked super-intense with 5 runs a week. How could I possibly fit that into an already busy life? I needed help.
Apart from the training itself, the best thing about working with Helen was the education. Turns out there is a lot to know about running in your 50's.
Fiona, London Marathon runner
From Stuck Strider to Race Ready Runner: "Running feels strong again!"
Turning 50, I felt I had passed my running peak. I didn’t think my legs could manage running a marathon, as I was always tired and sore after a race.
Your training was a game changer.
I can now run long distances without the burden on my legs that had previously limited my goals. My diet, something I’ve struggled with all my life, is finally at a place where I effortlessly eat healthy, balanced meals every day that support my running and my active job.
Training this way I’ve realised that getting older doesn’t mean you have to give up on your dreams and that you can be fitter than your younger self!
Debi, Sydney Marathon runner
Is menopause sidelining your run? See how this training approach helped Diane get back on track.
Training for my first 2 marathons I followed a plan but only did the steady runs ignoring the harder, more technical bits in the programme.
Each time I ran a bit faster, but I wasn’t feeling stronger. So training to run London Marathon I wanted to follow a more structured training programme that would work for me.
I found the programme was easy to follow and loved the varied structure, the conditioning workouts and nutrition/diet advice, as well as the running.
Working on my core and leg strength, and making sure I always did the post run stretches which has really helped reduce joint and muscle aches and pains that I’d experienced previously training for marathons.
Diane, London Marathon Runner

Lost Pace Chaser no more! See how Monica finally crushed her goal.
I’d run several marathons, and I’d start out strong, but I then lacked the energy to finish strongly at the end. I wanted to learn how to sort that.
After changing my approach to training, I took 10 minutes off of my fastest marathon time. More importantly, my splits towards the end of the race were only 15 seconds or so slower than at the start, unlike other races where I’ve crashed.
Monica, London Marathon runner
Energy is back? See how this Lost Pace Chaser found their stride again.
I’d been running for about 8 years, but I knew I wasn’t doing the right types of running to improve or to run further than 13 miles. I was just plodding around, running the same speed, run after run.
By including different types of training run and workouts into my training I can now run faster and for longer.
Claire, London Marathon runner
Half a stone lost? This Race Ready Runner shares their story!
I was anti-carb but soon realised this wasn’t going to give me energy for running. I started to keep a food diary to help me monitor my macros and keep on track.
I won’t lie it was hard. But understanding how the ‘nutrient free calories’ were hindering my progress really helped me make better decisions. I was eating good food, and more of it.
When I ran my next marathon I took 54 min off my time. I also lost weight and I was eating more food than ever!”
Karen, Kilder Marathon runner
THE RUNNERS RESET IS PERFECT FOR YOU IF:
✔️ You're a woman in your 40s or 50s who loves running
✔️ You're frustrated that running feels harder and you've been getting slower over the past few years
✔️ You've tried training plans that left you exhausted or injured
✔️ You're ready to prove your best running days are NOT behind you
✔️ You're willing to commit to 30-minute sessions 4-5x per week (3 runs plus strength workouts)
✔️ You want to run a strong 10k or half marathon in the next 12 weeks
This programme is NOT for you if:
❌ You're looking for a quick fix without putting in the work
❌ You're not willing to follow a structured training plan
❌ You want to keep doing what you've always done and expect different results
❌ You're not ready to invest in yourself and your running
Half-hearted efforts equal half-hearted results.
This programme works—but only if you show up and do the work.
By now, you're probably thinking:
Ok Helen, just tell me what this costs
Fair question. But ask yourself:
What's it costing you RIGHT NOW to keep doing what you're doing?
How many more months will you accept running slower and feeling more exhausted and frustrated after every run?
How many more plans and apps made for younger runners will you try before admitting they don’t work for YOUR body, training needs and stage of life?
How much longer are you willing to just accept that “this is just what happens when you get older” and inevitably lose your fitness and run slower year on year?
The truth is: doing nothing has a price too!
Most runners in their 40s and 50s just accept decline as inevitable. They stop setting goals. They stop believing their best running days are possible. They settle.
But you're not most runners
You're here because you refuse to let menopause steal your speed, your strength, and your love of running.
JOIN THE RUNNERS RESET AND YOU'RE ACTUALLY INVESTING IN
12 weeks of expert coaching tailored to what's happening in your body right now:

✔️ A community of women who truly get it
✔️ Everything you need to run your fastest, strongest races in your 40s and 50s, and beyond!
A private running coach would charge you upwards of £2,000 for this level of personalised guidance
But I didn't create the Runners Reset to be exclusive. I created it to be accessible—because every woman deserves to feel strong, fast, and confident in her running, regardless of her age.

Because 12 weeks from now, you could be:
🏆 Running your fastest 10k or half marathon in years

Because I know this programme works. I've seen it work for hundreds of women just like you. But it only works if YOU work.

Your Burning Questions – Answered! 🏃♀️💪
Q: How much time do I need each week?
A: Plan for 4-5 training sessions per week (3 runs plus strength training), each lasting 30-45 minutes. These short, sharp training workouts are designed to fit into your busy life.
Q: What if I've never done strength training before?
A: Perfect! I'll teach you everything you need to know. The strength workouts are specifically designed for runners and are completely beginner-friendly, with progressions for more experienced runners.
Q: I'm not training for a race right now. Can I still join?
A: Absolutely! While the programme builds toward a 10K or Half Marathon, you'll benefit from improved fitness, speed, and stamina regardless of your race goals. If you've already booked a race, I'll help you adjust the plan so you're ready for race-day.
Q: What if I miss a workout or run?
A: Life happens! The programme is flexible, and I'll show you how to adjust when needed. Consistency matters more than perfection.
Q: How is this different from other running programmes?
A: Most training programmes are designed based on research and training that gets results for young male athletes. The Runners Reset is specifically designed for the physiological changes happening in menopausal women's bodies—declining VO2 max, muscle loss, and hormonal shifts. That's why it works when other programmes and training plans don't.
