Women only running coaching and training groups

At Serotonin Running, we understand that women and girls may feel more comfortable when exercising if they are with a group of women only.  Our coaching philosophy is based on a few things:

• running can make you feel great and it should be fun
• the importance of helping runners develop excellent running form,
• a healthy attitude to slow and steady progress to prevent injury,
• the understanding that women are different to men in many ways - anatomically, biomechanically and physiologically, and should train accordingly
• the belief that everyone can run, and our training groups being available and welcoming to all levels of runners

Hi!  My name is Lyndal Maloney and I am a runner, athletics and running coach, educator, mother, wife and founder of Serotonin Running.

Why am I a coach?  For the sheer pleasure of helping someone reach their goals - whether it be helping them cross the finish line in their first race, or getting them through the mental and physical challenges of a long and difficult trail run.

I have over twenty years of running in my legs, with a lot of knowledge gained along the way.  I enjoy all types of running - from road to trail, 5 k's to 100 kilometre races! Some of my favourite race experiences have been the Hume and Hovell 100, TNF 100 and UTA 100, UTA50, Tarawera Ultra, 6 Foot Track Marathon, Mt Solitary Ultra, Glenbrook Marathon, SMH Half Marathon, and the Australia Day Knapsack Race. I train smart, listen to my body, and in return, I get to enjoy participating in so many amazing races in the Blue Mountains, in Australia, and overseas.
