Ellen is an amazing coach and person. I first joint EP Coaching two years ago with a run plan, when I couldn’t run due to injury I switched to a swim plan and when returning to running it was a no brainer to use Ellen again to help me with this. She is full of knowledge and is so supportive. I would 100% recommend her to anyone and everyone.

Running was something that I had always had a love hate relationship with and would get bored with (and injuries from), but ep coaching has definitely changed that. I have had running plans for events in the past, but I had never had a real personalised one with my own coach. Man what a difference it makes! I literally look forward to seeing what’s on my plan for the week, and love that I can’t shift things around to suit my week. Ellen is so knowledgeable and supportive, and super approachable.

I have worked with Ellen for a year, it has completely changed my running. I have struggled with a few injuries in the past, however since I began working with Ellen I have got through training blocks injury free! Ellen is approachable, and a great cheerleader to all. She has made adjustments to my training when I've needed to take a break. She helped make my first marathon an incredibly enjoyable experience!! Ellen has created a supportive community which is an added bonus. I would highly recommend working with Ellen!

My training has been on fire 🔥 feeling stronger and fitter than ever. Smashed my 5km PB that El helped me with end of 2024 and also been smashing my trail run events. El is such an awesome coach and she has now added weekly swim sessions into my training plan. You give her a challenge and she will accept it! Highly recommended EP coaching if you are looking for a coach.

Ellen you have been so great to work with I’ve really enjoyed training with you, always supportive, so easy to follow which I loved and adapted when needed. Will definitely be returning, although I’m normally motivated myself I have found this has helped me more and I’ve learnt alot along the way. I was in a running rut and I’m back on track after Ellen’s help

Ellen has been working with me in preparation for the Christchurch half marathon! She offers a tailored programme and the most amazing support! I have been working with her for nearly 6 months as I change and adapt my goals! I feel more confident in my running as well as feel more mentally able to actually achieve my goals! She has been amazing and highly recommend her to anyone male or female looking for a coach! Photo attached is me running on my holiday in Fiji that would NEVER have happened back in the day!!

How it works.
-
Start by answering a few quick questions about your running level, experience, and goals. Based on your answers, you’ll receive a recommended plan — but it’s only a guide. You can purchase whichever plan you prefer, or message me (Ellen) if you want help deciding.
-
You’ll be taken to the purchase page where you can select your plan and choose how you’d like to pay:
• pay monthly
• or pay in full upfront
(Maintenance plans renew monthly until cancelled.) -
Secure your spot through our trusted payment provider, Stripe. Once your payment is confirmed, your membership activates immediately.
-
You’ll get a welcome email with everything you need to get started, including:
• how to access the EP Members Area
• instructions to set up TrainingPeaks
• syncing your watch + logging sessions
• how to read your plan and weekly structure
• partner updates, recipes, and coaching resources -
Inside your members hub, you’ll find all onboarding information, training education, partner insights (physio, nutrition, strength), and tips to get the most out of your programme.
-
Your plan will be loaded into your TrainingPeaks account before your start date. From here, you follow the structure, track your progress, and enjoy ongoing support through the EP community and partner network.
Who this is for.
Run the Christchurch Marathon with purpose — a scenic course, incredible community, and the perfect goal to anchor your training.
This is for women who want direction, accountability, or a smart plan to chase a PB. My runners range from beginners to marathoners, all united by a desire to move and feel good doing it.
Busy life? Perfect. Your training will be built around your reality, not an idealised schedule that unravels when the week fills up.
Why train with me.
My coaching is grounded in real experience, proven structure, and genuine support. I combine practical programming with insight from years of teaching and competing, so you train efficiently while keeping the joy in movement.
As a lululemon Run Ambassador (2023–2025), multiple marathon finisher, and NZ Ocean Swim Series competitor, I understand the discipline and mindset it takes to balance performance with everyday life. I’ve coached hundreds of women through their first finish lines, biggest breakthroughs, and rediscovered confidence — and I’d love to do the same for you.
