Words from Emma
'Before signing up I um and ah-ed about whether I’d be able to find the time/space to complete the sessions with 2-young children + full time work load BUT I soon learnt to be creative to make the time &space - be it straight from work, in my lunch break or at 5am. So I guess I’ve learnt that I can prioritise myself and have multiple pockets of space to myself throughout the week. Also, that there can be something more to me than just being ‘mum’. I feel like I’ve been able to push myself so far and have conquered some hard things (Ie. 20 hill sprints!) - I can do hard things! Great program, thanks Sam and Bec'
Alexandra
'And it's done!! It has been such a great journey to today and I'm so chuffed to have made it. The run was super tough at times but the trail was spectacular (I need to do it again now at a much slower pace to truly enjoy the views) and I had some super humans to share the adventure with. I didn't think I would get caught up in the 'race' but who was I kidding, I pushed myself so much harder than I thought I could. Thanks for such an amazing and well delivered program Bec and Sam. I'm going to feel a little lost without it!!'

'This training block and race experience has been nothing short of transformative. It's so satisfying to commit properly to a big goal, to train, feel strong and execute well. The sense of accomplishment is beyond words.
I was worried initially that being a shift worker would make it impossible to fit in all the training. But thanks to the structure, the coaching resources, and the unwavering support of the other members, I found the accountability and focus to stay committed. Instead of getting overwhelmed by what was to come, I learned to embrace the present moment and give my best in each session.
And I am converted. The strength made a big difference. I would normally skip these sessions to run, but my body has become the strongest it has ever been.'

'Smashed my 21.1km run today 🏃♀️ I was aiming for sub 1:50:00 and I did it! Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Samantha Gash & Bec Wilcock and everyone involved in Her Trails - you’ve put together such a wonderful, holistic training program and I have loved every session of the 12 week program (maybe not the hill sessions at the time though 😅).
It’s provided me with a training structure, the physical capacity and more importantly the mental capability to trust in the process and believe that I could do this!
To all the wonderful ladies in the Her Trails group, you have all been so amazing and supportive and its been a privilege to have shared this journey with you all! 💕 xx'

'I just want to express my gratitude to the amazing Her trails team. I am so so happy to have discovered Her trails and have loved every aspect of the last 20weeks.
The race yesterday exceeded all my expectations and was the perfect race for me. Throughout the whole race I had this unwavering belief that I could cope with anything and finish and it was because of the training program and all the mindset, breathing and nutrition advice I soaked up along the way.
Thanks to you guys I had strategies to combat the nerves at the start, discipline to keep my pace early and strong intention to remain calm throughout.
Your expertise, your infectious positivity and down to earth nature is just so engaging and welcoming.'
