TrailblazeHER opens in 2026! 

8-week online group coaching program for trail running women ready to level up their distance

TrailblazeHER: Elevating Women Athletes

A coaching experience for women who want to build the strength, endurance, and consistency so you can take on longer distances—whether it’s your first 50k or leveling up—without feeling overwhelmed or putting your life on hold.

Own the Distance, Make Your First 50k Happen!

Longer distance. Faster pace. Stronger runs. More endurance. Real progress.

This ain’t your mama’s traditional cookie-cutter plan!

Introducing the first women’s group trail running program built around your life using the 4 Ms blueprint—where training fits into your schedule, energy, and everything in between, so you can get faster, stronger, and stay consistent.

TrailblazeHER opens in early 2026!

My own journey into running ultras has been full of uncertainty: Am I training enough? Am I doing too much? What happens if I miss a run? How do I fit all the things in?

I’ve gone all in, only to feel overwhelmed, burned out, or unsure if I was even on the right path.

 

Over time, I’ve learned that training isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing the right things, in a way that works with your life. Now, I focus on strategic effort and consistent progress.

Because here’s the truth: Your training needs to fit into your life, not the other way around. It has to be realistic—something you can stick with even on your busiest days. It has to challenge you enough to get stronger and faster, but not so much that you burn out.

This program isn’t about doing it all—it’s about doing what works for YOU.

It bridges the gap between life’s demands and your training, so that you can grow stronger, run farther, and stay consistent without sacrificing everything else.

This isn’t just a list of things to do—it’s about showing you how to fit training into your life, how to build real strength, and how to keep pushing through so you don’t just cross the finish line, but transform into the trail runner you’ve always wanted to be.

With TrailblazeHER, you don’t have to choose between your life and your running.

 

Your training, your way—let’s make it happen.

Beginner-Trail-Running-Tips-for-Women
You know things need to change

Maybe you've tried to level up your distance before. Maybe you’ve followed cookie-cutter plans, tried running with a friend and stuck to their schedule, or thought you could skip strength training just to fit in the runs.

But nothing's quite clicked, right?

You’re juggling work, family, and everything else. Your running dreams keep calling, but nothing seems to fit your life, leaving you feeling stuck, frustrated, or even overwhelmed. You might even be scared you’re going to mess things up, not just with your running, but with your life too.

The fear of losing balance—of dropping everything else in the process—has you second-guessing.

And you’ve seen a million “solutions” online, but it’s left you in freeze or fight mode, unsure of what will actually work for you.

Here’s the thing: You don’t need another generic plan.

You need TrailblazeHER—a program built for women who want to complete their first 50k without losing everything else along the way. It’s not just about the finish line—it’s about creating lasting habits, owning your power, giving yourself grace, and learning to push through the highs and lows, no matter what life throws your way.

The TrailblazeHer 4 Ms Blueprint.

This isn’t just another running program—it’s a system built to make training work for you. The 4 Ms Blueprint (Mindset, Movement, Moderation, and Momentum) runs through everything we do in these 8 weeks. Some weeks will focus more on one or two, but you’ll always see how they connect—because they can’t be separated.

Mindset: Train Your Brain Like an Athlete

If you’ve ever struggled with perfectionism, comparison, or feeling like you have to run hard every time, this is where we change that. You’ll learn how to:

Ditch the all-or-nothing mindset so you actually stay consistent


Stop being your own biggest critic and start running with confidence


Get out of your head and train smarter (not just harder)


Know what to do mentally when things get tough in long runs and races

Movement: Smart Training for Strength and Speed

We’re not just running—we’re building a strong, resilient body that can handle the miles. You’ll get:

A clear plan for how running and strength work together (when to do what)

The right mix of workouts: VO2 max, tempo runs, long runs, and easy runs


A strategy for recovery, mobility, and the right cross-training for you

 

Gear guidance—shoes, clothing, and essentials to support your movement

Moderation: Balance Training, Fueling, and Life

You can train hard without burning out—here’s how:

Nutrition and fueling strategies for training, racing, and everyday life

 

Hydration and electrolyte needs so you’re not guessing

 

How to avoid overtraining and undertraining (yes, both matter!)

 

The power of intentional off-seasons, recovery phases, and rest

Momentum: Keep Moving Forward

The best plan is one you can stick with. That’s why we focus on:

How to be consistent—even when life gets busy

 

Stacking small wins so training feels easier over time

 

How the other 3Ms work together to create lasting progress

This blueprint isn’t just a theory—it’s the foundation of the entire program. Because when you train this way, you don’t just get through 8 weeks—you set yourself up for lifelong success as a runner.

Hi, I’m Brittany Olson creator of TrailblazeHER.

All my life, I’ve been an athlete. As a kid, I just played sports—no schedule, no pressure, just pure fun. But as I got older, my playground got bigger, and things got a lot more complicated. Suddenly, it wasn’t just about running around and having fun. It was about balancing work, life, and my training (and trying not to burn out). And that’s when the real challenge began.

I know what it’s like to try and juggle it all—trail running, strength training, work, life—you name it. When I first started running trails, I thought I could handle everything. But even after 13 years of consistent strength training, I found myself cutting corners. Not because I didn’t care, but because I was stuck in that relentless grind: always busy, always pushing, no time to breathe—or plan for what I needed.

It didn’t take long for my body to remind me that it wasn’t sustainable. I was constantly exhausted. Without the strength training I relied on, my recovery dragged, my endurance suffered, and running started feeling like a chore instead of a passion. I found myself frustrated and burnt out, tired of starting over again and again because I wasn’t putting myself first. I realized I needed to make a change, not just for my running but for my sanity.

Setting boundaries and learning to manage my time in a way that prioritized me didn’t happen overnight, but it made all the difference. That’s why I created TrailblazeHER: to help women like you who feel stuck in the grind and want to finally find balance.

I’ve been there, and I get it. It’s hard to say no to things that don’t serve you. It’s hard to make a plan when life feels chaotic. But here’s the truth: you can run strong, feel energized, and stop spinning your wheels. You don’t have to keep starting over, and you don’t have to do it alone.

I’ll help you create a plan that fits you and your body, your goals, and your busy schedule—so you can hit your running milestones without burning out. You’ll learn how to build strength, recover faster, and set boundaries that actually stick.

TrailblazeHER is about more than just running. It’s about reclaiming your time, your energy, and your confidence. It’s about proving to yourself that you’re capable of so much more than just getting through the day.

Sounds good? Let’s break the grind for good and start training with purpose.
