You didn’t expect to feel like this in your 50s
Wanting to see what you're capable of now. Having bigger goals than ever. Right when your body finds running harder.
It doesn’t make sense! But it does to me.
And this is where you learn your body isn't the barrier, and get the confidence that you're still capable of more than you think.

There’s a race you keep looking at.
A bucket list adventure you can't stop thinking about.
The PB you still want to get.
But you can’t quite commit. Because you don't know if your body will let you have it.
This is the five days where you learn it will.
The proof that your body can do this. Permission to want it without apologising for it. The knowledge of how to train properly for the body you have now. When to push. When to back off. How to get it responding to training again.
One week live, with a group of women who want the same thing. Your questions answered live. The support to actually do this.

Shahina didn’t just run her first marathon, she got back in control of who she is
Shahina set herself a goal that felt daunting at the time.
Her first marathon. In perimenopause. When her body felt like it was working against her and she didn't know if it would even let her get to the start line.
But she learned how her body actually works now. How to fuel it. How to get strong. How to train in a way that worked with the changes, not against them.
When she talked about it afterwards, it wasn't the finisher's medal that made her tearful.
It was realising how far she’d come. That her body didn't limit her. That she could set a goal that scared her and get to the other side of it.
She didn't just finish a marathon. She learned what she's actually capable of. And that changes everything.
Five Days. Where you decide it is going to happen.
For the first time, you'll be part of a group of midlife runners hovering over a goal that means so much, but are holding back because they don't know if their body will let them have it.
These five days show you it will, and what it'll take to make it happen.
It's a rare opportunity to spend time with an expert, live on Zoom and in a private WhatsApp community, where you'll get all your questions answered, so you end the week with the confidence to commit.
Day One. You say it out loud.
What you actually want. The goal that scares you. That you think is silly to want. The thing you've been thinking about but haven't let yourself commit to yet.
On Day One, you stop apologising for wanting it and start treating it like the real goal it is. Because once you've said it, the rest of the week becomes about proving to yourself it's possible.
Day Two. You realise your body's not the problem.
We talk about how your body works now, what's changed, why it matters to runners, and what it means for your training. Not so you can mourn what you've lost, but so you can train intelligently for what you want next.
Day Three. You learn to read the signals your body is giving you.
When to push, when to hold back, which niggles matter and which don't. This is how you rebuild trust in your body. So you can adapt your training to your energy and your life, instead of forcing your body to keep up with a plan that doesn't account for either.
Day Four. You discover how to train for who you are now.
We talk about how to map your training to the exact changes your body is going through. Strength training, yes. But also recovery, fuelling, the details that matter more now than they ever did. You'll finally understand why just running more miles and adding a strength session wasn't enough.
Day Five. You see it clearly now.
By Day Five, you've spent four days learning how your body works, how to read it, how to train it. On the final day, we look at what that makes possible. You see your goal differently now. Not as something your body might let you have. As something you're ready to commit to. That's the shift.

I'm Gabrielle, and three years ago I decided to see what I was capable of
I'm Gabrielle, and three years ago I decided to see what I was capable of.
I'd just rediscovered running after stopping in my mid-40s, but running around the block like I used to wasn’t what I wanted anymore.
I wanted challenges. Adventures.
I didn’t want them, I needed them.
Because I’d been through 6 roller coaster years. Losing my business, experiencing burnout. My dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer and I got fired from my job the day I asked for support.
My body had changed. I’d gained 10kg, suffered repeated injuries, tendon problems, swollen knees.
And I’d lost my confidence. I was terrible at sports. A line I’d been telling myself since I was 9 and came last in the school athletics competition.
Now, here I was, needing to prove something to myself.
Needing to find excitement, and a part of myself I’d lost.
I became a personal trainer after I lost my job. But I still had a lot to learn.
Because the standard advice, the stuff you learn as a PT, is full of holes when it comes to what midlife runners need; the ones who don’t want to compromise on what their body is capable of.
So I had to learn it myself.
Every one of my own setbacks taught me something the textbooks didn’t.
Today, as I write this, I'm 55 and training for a sub-50 10k. Just to see if I can.
Because as proud as I am of everything I’ve achieved in the last few years, I know I’m capable of more.
If you've made it this far down the page, I'm guessing this is what you want too.
That's why the Menopause Running Club exists. Because I couldn't find anyone who understood what I needed and took my goals seriously. And if you can't either, let me help you find your way through.
This is the week where your ambition becomes real
