Female specific run coaching and training groups

At Serotonin Running, we understand that women and have a different physiology to men, and should train in accordance with this unique physiology.  We also realise that women enjoy the support and community that arises when women come together. 

​Our coaching philosophy:

• running can make you feel great and it should be fun
• running should lead you to big adventures!
• the importance of science backed training modalities
• a healthy attitude to slow and steady progress to prevent injury,
• the understanding that women are different to men in many ways - anatomically, bio-mechanically 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

​LYNDAL MALONEY - HEAD COACH
Hi! My name is Lyndal Maloney and I am an avid road, track and trail runner, 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.  My specific interest and expertise is in training women in accordance with their unique female physiological traits, including younger women, peri-menopausal and post-menopausal women.  I am a great believer in the joy of running and the adventures that your two legs can take you on.

I have over thirty 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!

I absolutely LOVE trail running, and am passionate about getting female athletes exploring their potential on the trails.
