I cannot recommend Nikki’s 12 week, online return to running program enough! Having previously done half marathons and marathons I have been trying to get back to running after injury, and then life, getting in the way. Each attempt lasted until my previous injuries flared up again and I went back to walking. With Nikki’s program I was able to rebuild strength in a way that was flexible and easy to fit around my schedule. Being accountable made a huge difference and Nikki’s support has me back running and with a much stronger pelvic floor as an added bonus!

Strong Start Running
Efficient Strength Training for Beginner Mum Runners
- Do you want to run but feel like your body isn’t strong enough?
- Are you scared of injuring yourself?
- Do you feel tired, like you are pushing your body through mud when you try to run?
- Do you want to keep up with the kids, but feel like your body let’s you down?
What if I told you that I can help you to prepare your body for running?
Strength training is essential for building a strong foundation for runners. Not only does strength training help to prevent running related injuries, it also helps you to run faster and further.
When time is limited to spend out running, strength training is an efficient tool to help you achieve your running goals and can easily be added to the end of your run to use your time even more efficiently!
But where to start? MumLife is already exhausting, no one wants to spend more energy thinking about and researching what strength training to do! Strong Start Running eliminates this for you, allowing you more time to focus on your family and helping you to begin running with confidence!
Hi - I'm Nikki, creator of Strong Start Running specifically for mums like you.
Just like you I used to feel like my body wasn’t strong enough to handle what my mind wanted to do and I was worried about getting injured. I remember my pelvis aching and my legs feeling heavy and comparing myself to other runners, wondering why they seemed to do it so easily.
I loved being out and having those moments of freedom as I (literally) ran away from mum-life, but I was exhausted all the time trying to juggle mum-life and my running and I thought that the only way to get better at running was to go longer and faster. Carving out that time away from my family became challenging and honestly, the running that I loved became more of a chore as I battled with trying to be better at running and the guilt of spending too much time out running.
Then I discovered the benefits of strength training and learnt that I actually didn’t need to run for hours and hours in a bid to get better at my running. With targeted strength exercises, my running improved and my runs felt really good!
So I developed Start Strong Running specifically for mums like me…. and you!

This program is live, meaning you are receiving personalised attention. Your coach is supporting you, watching your check-ins and making adjustments to your workouts specific to your needs.
Absolutely! Workouts are short and impactful, focusing on providing consistency to build muscle and strengthen joints. They can be undertaken anywhere and won’t disrupt your running schedule.
Children make great weights! In all seriousness though, no interruptions will not impact your success. You can workout with your children, split your exercises up through your day or brainstorm with your coach about how you can make your workouts fit with your family and lifestyle.
You will be provided with 3 strength training workouts each week. To see the full impact of the training program, it is recommended that you complete the 3 workouts weekly. Workouts are short and can be added to the end of your runs for further time-efficiency.
No, in fact we want the opposite to be happening! This is why we cater the workouts to your needs. If you are constantly sore or not feeling an increase in your energy levels, chat to your coach and we make changes.
Most of the exercises are bodyweight exercises. When you sign up, you will be asked what exercise equipment you have access to. Your workouts can be tailored to incorporate this equipment, or if you do not own any, your workouts will be bodyweight-based.
These sessions are recorded and provided to you to watch the replay. You are not on this journey alone, and often, other participants may have similar questions or need similar support to you. Watching the replays can be very beneficial if you are not able to attend live.
It is strongly recommended that you see a Women’s Health Physiotherapist prior to undertaking any exercise or running after you have had a baby. Guidelines for starting running vary depending on your pregnancy, birth and post-partum recovery. This program is not recommended for anyone less than 12 weeks post-partum and if under 6 months post-partum, only with clearance from your Women’s Health Physiotherapist.
It is a 12 week initial program, with the option to move to the next level of training at the end of the 12 weeks.
This is a live program, meaning everyone is doing the 12 weeks at the same time. You will have access to the workouts on your app for the 12-week period. If you cannot complete the 12 weeks, you will need to wait until the next round to restart the program. Payment is for the 12-week period, and no refunds are available if you cancel during that period.
The program is for 12 weeks. You are required to make full payment upfront, or if choosing weekly direct debit payments, you agree to weekly installments over the 12-week training period. Direct debits cannot be canceled or paused through the training period; it is a 12-week payment agreement. You will not be able to commence workouts until full payment has been made or a direct debit has been set up. The payment agreement ceases at the end of the 12-week program.
