Kia ora! Sierra here
Did you know that the recommended timeframe for returning to running after giving birth is 12 weeks? (Goom, Donnelly and Brockwell, 2019) When I started running after having my daughter, I didn't know that.
I assumed that because I had run for years, I'd bounce back and be able to train as "normal." However, not only did having a baby change my "normal," but my body did not simply bounce back.
Once I understood that running more wasn't the answer, I began to make huge improvements—not only in my times, but also in how I felt when I ran. It was no longer a chore and a struggle; it became enjoyable again!
That's why I designed a program that sets out all the things I learned on my journey, giving you the roadmap to avoid the same mistakes I did.

Does this sound like you?
✅ You went for a run but your legs felt heavy and restricted?
✅ Your energy levels were low and sluggish?
✅ You experienced some (or a lot) of leakage?
✅ Joints or back hurt during or afterward?
These experiences are completely normal and indicate you might not be ready to run yet.
The good news is that with a few simple exercises you can determine your readiness to run.
This programme is more than just about running training. It contains a running readiness test and information about pelvic floor health. Giving you a starting point and the information you need to move forward!
If that sounds like you, then I have the solution!

❌You don't have time to run like your friends who don't have babies
❌You're at home more so can't get to a gym without a lot of effort

What Clients Say
I have worked with Sierra both for personal training and run coaching on the diamond coaching programme.
I have never stuck to a training programme to this extent before - it has really worked with my schedule and taken the thinking/planning away from my brain.
i will definitely be continuing to work with Sierra on my future strength and running goals. Highly recommend her.
