What is the 'RTM Masterplan'?

Step-by-step training framework written specifically for women over the age of 40 who want to run faster as they get older.

These are proven, science-backed training frameworks that will show you not only what training to do every day, but exactly what pace you should be doing them, plus they include built-in strength training to help you stay injury-free.

A highly qualified AND experienced team of coaches to guide you

This is the ONLY place you can get ongoing, direct access to coach Shona Hendricks through our easy to use Coach Parry forum. Get help and advice when you need it. It's as simple as sending a text message.

PLUS 7 live-streamed Strength & Conditioning classes a week for you to attend

We are streaming 7 live S&C classes that you can do in the comfort of your own home every week to make sure you do the correct strength training so that you don't get injured. These classes are for people of all abilities. Can't make the live stream? No problem, we record the classes and you can catch the replay when it suits you.

Be part of an engaged community of runners just like you

We know what a challenge running as you get older can be. Constant aches and pains and even injuries hampering your progress. Sometimes it feels like you have to train harder and harder but your times seem to be getting slower and slower. We get it. Having access to the Coach Parry RTM Masterplan and community lets you know you're not alone on this journey.

So glad to have the opportunity to work...

So glad to have the opportunity to work with Coach Parry. Just over a year ago I had serious hip surgery and with the guidance and following each training plan, I've been able to regain my running strength and have seen my times consistently drop. My goals have been attainable and I've more importantly been injury free. The plans have kept me accountable and motivated during a very difficult pandemic year. Thanks coaches!

First half marathon at 69

I'm 68 and needed help in training for a half marathon. Coach Parry advised me to work on 5K for 12 weeks, then 10k for 12 weeks, then preparation for the half. After the first 12 week cycle my time has improved from 40 minutes to 36.05. I'm confident that, if I follow all aspects of the training plan then I'll be able to get my 10k time down. This is all about building my confidence to run injury free, for the pure enjoyment of running a half marathon. I'm now becoming more sure that I can do it! Thanks so much to everyone on Coach Parry's team for their support and great advice. P.S. I wasn't paid top write this, it's a genuine thank you for great support to people over 50 :-) Frances (London UK)

Stella O Shea Review

I have benefitted hugely from my training with Coach Parry. I am now able to run pain-free, without aching muscles, joints or plantar fasciitis trouble. I have also noticed significant improvements in my hip and core stability, something which I did not expect when I joined. My initial goals were to be able to run pain-free, without niggling injuries and to run a "30 minute something" 5K. I have already run a 29.59 5K and to be honest, I never thought I would be capable of this given my previous injury and health issues. I have learned more than training techniques from Coach Parry. I know now it is possible to exercise "around" injuries and also that I can still surprise myself at 52! I look forward to seeing what the next while will bring. Thank you to all at Coach Parry, Stella O Shea

What's Inside The Running Through Menopause Masterplan...

The Coach Parry Online Training Club is an interactive, web and app-based platform that will guide you and give you everything you need to become the best athlete you can be.

Training framework library

Unlimited Access to the Running Through Menopause Training Framework Library

With over 44 training frameworks in the library (including strength training plans) we've got you covered.

Whether you're training for your first or fastest 5k or parkrun, a 10k or 21km or perhaps a 42km or ultra-marathon, our plans will help you achieve your goal.

Or perhaps you're just looking to get started. You're in the right place...

Simply select the framework, choose your goal race date, add the training plan to your training calendar and you're good to go!

Personal training schedule interface

Your Own Personal Drag & Drop Training Schedule

Once you've selected a training framework from our extensive library and applied it to your calendar, you are then able to open it in your own personal training schedule.

On the web-based app you are able to drag and drop training sessions to better suit your week's schedule.

You are also able to sync your training schedule with your fitness device through Strava or Garmin Connect. This will automatically pull your training data into the Coach Parry Online Training Club so that you are easily able to analyse your training and training load over time.

In the Coach Parry Online Training Club, you are able to track and analyse your training volume as well as heart rate. Cadence and power are also tracked which means the Coach Parry coaching staff are able to give you accurate advice, backed by scientific data on your training or racing questions.

Live strength and conditioning class

Live coaching video call

Live & Recorded Video and Audio Training

Over and above hanging out in the forums every day, once a week one of the Coach Parry coaches hosts a live Group Coaching video call.

Need help overcoming injury, planning a race schedule or pacing strategy, these calls are incredible.

We normally charge for one on one calls like these with our coaches, but you get access to 1 a week, FREE of charge as part of your membership.

As part of your membership, you'll also get access to over 700 Audio Podcasts and Video Recordings that are easily searchable that cover everything from injuries to intervals, hill repeats to high altitude training.

Community forums and motivation

Motivation and Accountability

When you join Coach Parry you get exclusive access to our members-only forums.

Having easy access to the forums means that you have a coach, who is able to offer you scientifically backed help and advice, literally at your fingertips.

Aside from training advice, you'll also get access to a bunch of runners, just like you who are on a mission to become the best they can be.

If you're looking to stay motivated or for an accountability buddy, then the Coach Parry Forums are the place to go.

Coach Parry app on multiple phones

Convenient & easy to use with our iOS or Android App

If you want structured training plans that will help you achieve your running goals, that will tell you exactly when you should run, at what pace & for how long.

If you want to know what to do to avoid injury and what to do if you did get injured.

If you want to be able to chat with the Coach Parry Coaches when you need help or if you want advice on which races to run, what pace you should run them at and what gear you should or shouldn't use.

If you want motivation and accountability, a community that won't judge you but rather encourage you to chase your running goals.

Love the programs!

I've done 2 programs so far and love it! The strength training has helped me to now have pain free running and recovery. I am 60 and have been running less than 2 years. I wish I had discovered this program earlier. Would have saved myself an injury. I'm using both the faster beyond 50 running program and the running through menopause strength training. Fabulous!

I'm enjoying the variety of the running sessions and the close attention & challenge of the strength sessions. Thanks Guys, I love your work & I hope I can do you proud!
