🏃♀️ Does the fear of getting back on the trails after injury or health setbacks have you hesitating to start running again?
🏞️ Has your injury or health setback left you missing the trails and now you feel like a part of you is missing? Are you eager to return to what you love doing?
🌄 Wouldn't it be amazing if you no longer felt that anxious worry about getting back to running after injury or health setbacks?
👟 Wouldn't you love to feel confident hitting the trails again without worrying about what others might think?
🦅 Wouldn't it be freeing to simply lace up and run, without doubting whether you're ready or capable?
💌 Wouldn't it be amazing to see your inbox filled with support, encouragement, and invitations to run together—all because you've confidently returned to running and inspired others with your journey?
🏅 Wouldn't it be life-changing to know that fear no longer holds you back, and you're running stronger, feeling healthier, and managing your health issues with confidence? You're on track to achieve your full potential for a healthier, longer life leaving behind the limitations of the past and embracing the future with every step you take?
Let me guess...
This is something you want, but are currently struggling to believe you can have?
I want you to know that I get it.
In 2008 I was in a car crash, I suffered head and neck injuries and after years of continuous pain and difficulties despite being told that my injuries should have healed I had made no progress and was scared that I would never run again or be my original active self who was full of adventure and loved getting out on the trails and exploring.
Just like you, I knew I wanted to improve my fitness and be more active again while achieving my own potential. But I also knew that to do that, I would have to get back out there and that scared me to death!
Can you relate?
I was paralyzed by the fear of exacerbating my health issues, increasing pain, and struggling so much that I didn’t know what to do for the best.
I knew I needed to start doing something different but I had so much doubt and overwhelm about getting back out there.
I knew that getting back out and getting started was what I needed to do, I needed to get where I wanted to be - but fear was keeping me from DOING it!
IF YOU RELATE, HERE'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO SEE…
I felt exactly what you're feeling now at the start of my journey, and yet despite a recent diagnosis of Fibromyalgia....
I now run on average 3x a week, I do ten miles before 10 AM most Sunday mornings, along with a 10K / 5K-10K once a week. I lead a voluntary Hula Hooping session in my local park for 1 hour once a week, Monday to Friday I start my day with a half a mile walk / jog around the block with my Dog Kane followed by 15 minutes a mobility and dynamic stretching, on a weekend I sometimes take a day off or do some low intensity hula hooping, I help and support runners in my area to get started and do park runs along with volunteering.
I understand what it's like to struggle, but now I’m living the life I’ve always dreamed of conquering mountain trails, completing ultra marathons, and helping others achieve the same.
How did I get here? By facing my fears head-on and taking consistent action, I was able to harness my expertise as a nurse & health coach, becoming my own first client. I tested my knowledge on myself and achieved remarkable results that I knew I had to share.
With 26 years of experience in the NHS as a nurse and health visitor, my deep understanding of health, combined with my passion for trail running meant that fellow trail runners dealing with injuries and health challenges were naturally attracted to me and I began to help others overcome obstacles and reach their full potential.
AND now I have helped countless other runners to do the SAME as me…
Just LOOK at what has been achieved already…

Owen Goldsmith
I found the coaching very helpful in aiding my recovery from the position I was in. After losing everything including my job, home, marriage and lacking confidence, motivation and self-esteem, I needed to regroup and get my life back up and running. I also needed to regain my love for running ultras which has returned and gives me a better focus. It has also helped me find my new partner and assists me in looking after her

From my first marathon, ultra marathon to 24 hour endurance event, Jo has provided me with invaluable guidance, support and motivation.

Jo’s ability to focus on a positive mindset made the impossible possible, I will forever be grateful for this. Who knows what the next challenge will be!
It goes without saying, Jo is an absolute beacon of inspiration and positivity. The world needs more Jo’s in it!
Are you ready to get these results for yourself?
Are you ready to release the doubt and overwhelm about whether your body is strong enough to handle trail running again?
Are you ready to know exactly how to safely return to trail running, have it feel manageable and achievable, and FINALLY feel yourself becoming the trail runner you once were (or always wanted to be)?
Are you ready to let go of the fear, worry, and anxiety around returning to the trails after your injury or health setback?

This is all about Igniting a Ripple of Transformation!
The truth is, I know I am probably going to put more into this than I will get out, but that's not the point.
I decided to offer 5 DAYS TO 5K for FREE as part of my commitment to a deeper mission:
I’m driven by a personal vision to help passionate runners reclaim the joy of running, regardless of financial barriers. Too often, runners are held back from returning to the sport they love because they can’t afford the essential support they need—rehabilitation, nutrition, personal training, physiotherapy, sports psychology, or therapy massage. On top of that, well-meaning advice from health professionals to avoid running can sometimes lead to even more health issues due to reduced mobility. I’m here to change that.
The Collective Mission:
I have a vision to ignite a powerful ripple effect in the world through this challenge. Imagine this: If 25 trail runners come together for the "5k in 5 Days" challenge, we can collectively run the distance of 3 marathons. That’s 78.6 miles of shared determination, resilience, and passion.
But this mission goes beyond just the miles. By participating, you’re not only taking steps towards your own comeback, but you’re also inspiring others to do the same. Each small win, each step on the trail, contributes to a larger movement of runners reclaiming their love for the sport despite setbacks.
Let’s take it further. If each of us shares our journey, encourages just one other person to lace up their shoes and hit the trails again, that impact doubles. Together, we could help dozens, even hundreds of runners overcome their fears and challenges, reigniting their passion for trail running.
The trails are calling, and together, we can answer that call in a way that creates lasting change. Join us in the "5k in 5 Days" challenge, and let’s run not just for ourselves, but for every runner who needs a reminder that they can come back stronger.
Let’s make every mile count, and together, we’ll create a wave of resilience, strength, and community that goes far beyond these five days.
Grainne Eloi
Deputy Director of Nursing
"Having not run for over 8 years, at the tender age of 54 years, I decided in January last year to run The Great North Run half marathon in September last year.
I enlisted the support of Jo, a tried and trusted expert runner to get me over the line. We met religiously twice a week and slowly built up from a mile to eventually 10 miles on a Saturday morning.
Jo was patient, positive and always there with a non confrontational and supportive approach. Even on my worst days, I went because she would always be there with a smile and her words of wisdom to get me through the run, always knowing that I would feel amazing once I had finished.
If you are looking for a compassionate, resilient and expert runner to coach you to your optimum fitness, Jo is your girl!"

FAQ
What happens if I can't attend a session live?
Every session will be recorded and a replay link will be put inside the Facebook Group - so you'll be able to catch up!
I've never been a runner is this for me?
Yes absolutely, having never been a runner I began running as part of my recovery journey, this is all about getting out and getting started too, so if you're still yet to do that - this challenge is perfect for you. 5K can be done in many ways it’s good to be creative, indoors, outdoors, walking or running, cycling or skipping, skating or skipping!
How long will we have access to the Facebook group/ replays/ resources and community for?
I will be leaving the group open with all of its contents indefinitely. I can't guarantee everything will be accessible forever as I can't control Facebook removing the group later down the line etc, but I have no plans to delete it - so you have time to catch up if you fall behind.
I've attempted to start running before but lost my consistency/ confidence with it, is this for me?
100% - experienced and beginners are encouraged to take part in the challenge. If you're needing a boost to get back to a place of consistency with getting out this challenge will also be perfect for you.
How much time will the challenge take me?
Approximately 2 hours per day including the time taken to watch the workshops.
What time are the live workshops?
All the live workshops will be held at 7:30pm UK time each day of the challenge (October 16th - 20th) and will each last for 90 minutes.
Do I have to show up online during the challenge?
You don't have to, but it will be encouraged. The point is to get the fear overcome in an environment full of support, shared experience, encouragement and accountability. If you want to become a successful, you're going to need to overcome this fear either way - it will serve you best to do it within the challenge as it is intended, however no one is going to make you.
Do I have to do the implementations?
Nope, but the more you put into this the more you get out of it. No one will make you do anything you don't want to - however the point of the challenge is to push past discomfort and fear - so you'll be encouraged to do so.
