An I’m Not A Real-Runner feels a running fraud, they feel they don’t deserve their place or entry into running their dream race.

An I’m Not A Real-Runner has sleepless nights worrying about plans, food, fundraising and runs. Wondering and worrying about whether they’re doing it all right. Constantly switching programmes and plans, and faffing around on Facebook asking runner friends for advice they’ll never put into action.
And an I’m Not A Real-Runner is worried they’ve bitten off more than they can chew, that however hard they try or however much they train they’ll fail and look stupid to their family and friends.

If you're like most struggling new runners and first-time marathoners, then chances are, you're thinking this way because you're scared of the unknown.
But that's ok! Running a marathon is hard, it’s an amazing experience that not many people on this planet HAVE ACHIEVED!
If you're like most struggling first time marathoners then chances are, you think you’re Not A Real-Runner because in your head you don’t think you look like a runner, you’re not fast enough to be a runner and you (definitely) don’t wear crop-tops and skimpy knickers out running in your local park!
Just think about it … Do all runners look like whippets racing around a track? NOOOOO!!!!
So if thinking that having thoughts that you're Not A Real-Runner is stopping you getting started with your training, it’s time to ditch those thoughts or stay procrastinating about your training forever!

A Rockstar Runner researches training programmes and plans that are right for them, makes sure the plan they pick fits with their lifestyle and will help them train hard to meet their goals.
They follow their plans through the weeks of training, rather than dipping in and out, trying different types of running every time someone suggests doing something new.
They seek advice and support from a coach, rather than non-runner friends or their new-found running buddies in their phone on Facebook.
And they make social-life sacrifices and prioritise their training to be sure of race-day success!

Having never run before applying for a place to run London Marathon 2020, I was concerned whether I had what it takes to run the full marathon distance.
I knew nothing about the different types of running that would help my training, how to fuel my funs and even what to expect when running alongside thousands of other runners on race-day!
Joining Marathon Club Hub was the best decision I made. The group was like my own little support network throughout my training.
I loved our coaching calls. Helen is so supportive and informative that I come away believing more and more in my ability to run!
I’ve learnt so much by being a member of Marathon Club Hub that I don’t want to let go of this newfound self-belief. I’m therefore determined to enter more races, whether this means running in a race or running virtual races for the time being.

To give marathon training your best shot you need to follow a proper structured training plan that starts your running from where you are now and builds gradually over time to dial up your running fitness, strength, stamina and speed so come race-day you’re ready to run your marathon.
Lots of first-time marathoners think plans are not for them, they’re not ‘good enough’ runners, their lives are too chaotic so decide that ‘winging it’ is the best way they’ll get ready for their race. But winging it isn’t the best way to get results!
First-time ‘wingers’ often get injured, lose motivation and then mad with themselves after, as they know they didn’t do themselves justice in their ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ dream race.
The training plans in Marathon Club Hub are for first and next-timers, they’re are ‘jargon-free’ and with just 3 focused runs each week are designed to fit with busy and sometimes chaotic lives.
You’ll be running less than some plans you’ll come across, but these plans get results because you’ll be focused, challenging yourself in your training, pushing yourself (just) beyond your comfort zone, so you’re continually improving to build your running fitness, strength, stamina and speed.

I love having a plan that I understand and can follow, it removes the reasons to skip a run.
"The training plans in Marathon Club Hub are simple to follow, effective and cater for everyone joining the group, whether they’re an experienced or completely new runne.
I’m now aware of the different types of ‘runs’ in marathon training and the importance of practicing them all regularly. I love the variety the different runs and the improvements they’ve made to my cardio fitness and speed. I feel much stronger on my longer runs and I’ve found a new love of running hills! "

Full Marathon Training Plan This is a 16-week plan that’ll take you right up to race day. This plan will take you from regularly running 10k's or halves, to running your full marathon confident and strong. Follow this plan to train for your spring or autumn full marathon race.

OR ...
New Runner QuickStart Marathon Training Plan If you have only been running a few months this16-week plan will take you from 10k to running your first full marathon using a run:walk approach.
PLUS ...
Recovery Plan This is a 4-week recovery plan, that’ll gradually ease you back into running and then training after your race.

I love the structure of Marathon Club Hub and that you progressed gradually, rather than having to do really hard or long runs right from the start.
"Before joining Marathon Club Hub, my running was a bit sporadic and I didn't have plan for how to progress. I would go out for a run when I fancied and all of my running was 'easy', I never did speed work or hills.
The guidance from Helen is fantastic, she keeps you focused and accountable and is supportive if you are doubting yourself or struggling.
I didn’t always enjoy every run, but I certainly felt the benefits and never regrated doing a run."

Marathon training puts immense stress and strain on your body and quite a number of runners who enter marathons don’t make it to the start, due to injury.

A lot of running injuries are due to poor running form, doing too much too soon, or ignoring strength and conditioning work.
When you join Marathon Club Hub you'll get guidance on how to run with good form and weekly strength and conditioning workouts to help build you into a strong, stable and resilient runner to help prevent niggles and injuries that are all too common amongst first-time marathon runners.

Stretching for Flexibility & Mobility Plan Running causes your muscles to become ‘knotted’, short and tight. Including flexibility & mobility exercises into your week will help you to have supple, flexible muscles that can reduce your risk of injury, lead to fewer aches and pains and help you run with better posture and balance which will lead to improved performance.
Strength Conditioning Plan Strength training for runners isn’t just about building big muscles (which actually is harder than most people think!) but building strength in your mover muscles and doing muscle-strengthening workouts that target all of your major muscle groups (legs, back, chest, etc.).Your Strength Plan will focus on building strong ‘mover’ muscles that will improve your running power, running strength and speed.
Core Conditioning Plan It’s important when you’re running lots and especially training for a marathon that you run with good running form. Your ‘core’ (a set of muscles deep in your body that support your torso) needs to be strong to help you run upright and tall and with good form, but too often our ‘core’ muscles are weak from too much sitting down and our sedentary lifestyles. Your Core Conditioning Plan will work to strengthen your core muscles which will help reduce the risk of injury as your training and running ramps up.

I created Marathon Club Hub to be the easiest way for first and next-time marathoners go from couch to marathon – from nervous and unsure to unstoppable!
But I also created it to be the most supportive running programme for runners just like you. So that’s why Marathon Club Hub includes weekly live group coaching, supported by cheat-sheets, checklists and coaching notes.
Got a question? Doubts? Uncertainties? Struggles, losing motivation or your mojo to run?
I’VE GOT YOU COVERED.

Imagine just how much easier it will be to train for your marathon when you know exactly what you need to do, when you need to focus and why training for a marathon isn’t just about running!
QuickStart to Marathon Training Success is your guide to getting started on your marathon training journey WITHOUT confusion or overwhelm.
I’ve taken the hard work and heavy lifting out of learning what you need to do to get trained, ready and prepared to run your first or next marathon race! This guide explains the 6 Segments to Marathon Training Success that will allow you to take action and see results in less time than you’ll likely spend scrolling social media each day.

Having a good healthy diet is essential to support your marathon training. You are what you eat, and your running performance and recovery depends upon how you feed and fuel your body.
A lot of new marathoners see training as a great way to burn calories and lose weight. Think again!
A study of US charity marathon runners found that only 11% lost weight through 16 weeks of training (and another 11% gained!).
To avoid piling on the pounds you'll get advice on the best diet and nutrition to support your training. You’ll learn how what and when to eat, without dieting or restricting your food, to support your training and make sure you can recover from your runs for results.

You WANT to make sure you’re training effectively ... but really don’t have a clue on how your plan will work or how you’re going to organise your time. ...or maybe you’ve struggled, running out of energy on some of your long runs … or had sleepless nights panicking about a previous marathon or half marathon race.
Well... look no further! This BONUS BUNDLE was created with YOU in mind! You're invited to four LIVE WORKSHOPS designed to answer your most pressing questions and help you get trained, ready and prepared to run!

If you're like me, then you know training to run a marathon, when none of your friends are runners, can be lonely ... trying to figure out everything on your own, with nowhere to go and no one to talk to when you have questions or doubts.
Joining Marathon Club Hub you'll surround yourself with a brilliant support network. One that answers your questions, picks you up when you’re down, and gives you the kick you need to get out the door when you don't feel like running and the motivation you need to stay on track and focused on working towards your goals.

Before I got a place to run London Marathon for charity my running was a bit ad-hoc. I ran on a treadmill and ran parkruns, just trying to run without really knowing what I was doing. When I got my place I realised I needed to ‘get serious’ about my training, so joined Marathon Club Hub.
Positivity that Helen exudes is just brilliant, and she’s inclusive, which was one of the most important things for me. Being a snail (or sloth) runner I’m never going to be winning anything, but I felt comfortable and supported by Helen and the group, unlike other running groups I had joined, where I was made to feel like an outsider and ‘not a real runner’.
Training with Marathon Club Hub my times have been improving, and I feel so much better, fitter, healthier and happier. I went from running the Brighton Half Marathon last year in just over 3 hours, to running it in 1hr 55 this year, and this years Virtual London Marathon I ran in 4:03, which was more than 4 hours faster than I completed the distance last year!
When I first started running, I was fat shamed by people and just wanted to cover up. Training with Marathon Club Hub has given me my confidence back. When I ran my last half … I wore ‘short’ shorts and a sleeveless vest top and just felt fantastic, and couldn’t care less about anyone else!

I asked for help after getting a ballot place to run London Marathon in 2019. I was new to running and found everything I Googled confusing. I was really anxious as I’d never ran a marathon before.
I was confused about running plans, pace, what food I should be eating, warming up, cooling down, pretty much everything! Instead of feeling stressed and anxious, after coaching I was excited and felt confident in my plan, training and running the marathon itself. What Helen doesn’t know about running isn’t worth knowing! Thank you so much Cheesecake Runner! x

You’re set in your ways and not willing to make changes to your lifestyle to run.

You’re looking for a quick fix and want to run fast and far without putting in any effort to get fit.
You think you know everything there is to know about running, and don’t think you could benefit from an experienced and knowledgeable team behind you.
You have medical issues and your doctor doesn’t advise running.
You think you can get running and keep motivated all through training alone, without some 'let's do this' guidance, support and advice.

I bet you’d do anything to cross the finish-line of your first marathon feeling fabulous, on top of the world and running strong!
You could hire a Personal Trainer or Coach to help you get results. The going rate for a coach is £50 - £75 per hour and if you really want to get results, you’d need to see her maybe 3 times a week, that works out at £600 - £900 per month. Over the course of 16 week of marathon training that would cost you £2,400 - £3,600 and if you’re a new runner training over 6 months or more you’d be looking to spend even more!
I could easily charge £3,000+ for what’s included in Marathon Club Hub, because Marathon Club Hub is more than just a running and conditioning programme. But no, it’s not £3,000 or even £1,000. Heck, it’s not even £100.

Before I joined Marathon Club Hub a 200m ‘jog’ with my little boy to the post box on the corner was a huge struggle for me!
The Marathon Club Hub New Runner Quick Start Programme was absolutely perfect for me. It was realistic and steady, all the while progressing and building up. I found it worked me hard, but I didn’t find it hard work as such and I looked forward to my next running day!
I love the support that Marathon Club Hub provides. I didn’t want to join a running club, but the community of this virtual running club is amazing and incredibly supportive.
I am so proud of myself, that I can ACTUALLY RUN and in doing so, I am showing my children a new version, a new example of their Mum. This Mum absolutely can … and is!!

When I first got accepted to run the London Marathon, my first thoughts were “Why did I enter?” and “How am I ever going to run a marathon!”. But then I found Helen and the Marathon Club Hub programme.
When I joined Marathon Club Hub, I had no idea how to train to run a marathon. But once I got started and learned how to train properly, I fell in love with it. My running has completely changed. I can’t wait to get out running and while I’m running it just seems effortless.
Through training I broke my 5k and half marathon PBs and finally I smashed London, running it in 3.33! I truly believe that was down to Helen’s coaching. Thank you!

The first choice is to do your own thing.
Find yourself a plan from the Internet and give that a go, but seeing as those plans are jam-packed with jargon and you’ve got no one holding you to account with your training you’ll most likely wing-it for weeks then be pissed off and frustrated with yourself close to race-day at the training time you’ve lost faffing around at the start, wishing you’d got serious with your training earlier … and now it’s all too late!
Amiright?
But if you already know that you want to run your best in your first marathon later this year then your choice is obvious.
Join us inside Marathon Club Hub and start your training transformation to becoming the Real Marathon Runner you know you were always meant to be.

Are you ready to go all-in, train hard, push yourself beyond where you’ve ever pushed yourself before to achieve something that most wouldn’t even get off the couch to start?

Or in choosing the free plan and ‘winging it’ are you just preparing yourself for the inevitable excuses you’ll make … “I was too tired” … “It was too hot, too windy, wet or cold” … “My bra hurt and my shorts chaffed my bits” … “The gels made me ill” … “I tripped over and fell” …
When you fall short of achieving your marathon running dream?

I joined Marathon Hub Club to help me train for the 2020 Virtual London Marathon. I was losing motivation, finding running and training so difficult on my own.
I loved the structure of Marathon Club Hub. The programme, the weekly challenges, the online support, Helen’s unwavering optimism and encouragement and the other runners in our group who were just like me and so less intimidating than seasoned runners in other groups.
I'd never run anywhere before I started training for London, and now I’ve run a marathon! This wouldn’t have happened without Marathon Club Hub.

Marathon Club Hub was specifically created with the first and next-time marathoner in mind. What makes this programme so different from other running programmes and training plans can be broken down into 3 distinct reasons:
#1. BACK TO BASICS. There is nothing complicated, too ‘technical’ and no confusing jargon in Marathon Club Hub. Back to basics, doesn’t mean beginner, it means communicating in a way that helps you know what to do in your runs, workouts, training and race-day prep. I want you to understand what to do, when and why, so everything is explained in ‘back to basic’ language and in a way that you can put into practice what you’ve learned easily.
#2. STEP BY STEP SYSTEM. You won’t have to waste time working out whether the runs or what I coach is relevant to you. I’ve included only the need to know and do essentials in our Step-by-Step-System so you can save time and focus on running, training and preparing right.
#3. ACCOUNTABILITY TO ACHIEVE. I will hold you accountable to keep on track with the programme, encourage, motivate and support you every step of the way.

Yes! I know that some runners are much more motivated when they check in with someone else regularly.
When you join Marathon Club Hub you get access to our Marathon Club Hub Private Facebook Group. Everyone is encouraged to post about their runs and training regularly and hold a weekly coaching call to help you keep on track with your training. Everyone in Marathon Club Hub is on the same journey as you and each runner can provide encouragement and perspective, and we can celebrate with you as you succeed along your training journey and after race-day itself.

Yes! You’re a busy runner, so I created this high-performance programme to be “focused, sharp and to the point”. You will have just 3 training runs to do each week plus conditioning work in the programme, rather than ‘a requirement’ of going out running for hours and hours every day.
Training and getting prepared for a marathon requires more than ‘just running’. As a busy runner you’re exactly the runner I created the programme for. I’ve done all the heavy lifting around the 6 segments of marathon training success. Rather than you having to wade through articles and Internet posts, each week in our 30-minute coaching call (which is recorded, so you can catch up on replay after) I coach you in the critical ‘need to know’ essentials for your training. This won’t drain your time, this coaching will save you time!

If you’re spinning your wheels and just can’t seem to stay consistent with your training, you’re not getting any fitter, faster or running distance isn’t getting any easier regardless of how much running you’re doing, Marathon Club Hub is for you.
Chances are you’re not running and using your time training efficiently or effectively to help you improve towards meeting your running goals. I don’t want you to give up on your running goals, that’s why I created this programme to not only give you the running and conditioning workouts to do but to coach you in how to run each of your running workouts right, so you’re getting fitter, faster and able to run for longer as your training progresses.
I will help you troubleshoot what’s not been working with your training so you can make changes to start seeing results.

Marathon Club Hub is a marathon coaching programme and club, rather than a programme. The core marathon coaching programme is 16 weeks long, but assumes that you’re starting from a strong running base.
Unless your body is strong and resilient before you start your 16-week marathon training journey you put yourself at risk of getting injured, and potentially having to withdraw from your race.
We encourage runners to join Marathon Club Hub well in advance of their marathon race and follow our Couch to 10k, 10k PB Buster or Half Marathon Training Plans to focus on building a strong running base before embarking on our Marathon Training Plan.

No, there are plans and programmes for training to run 10k, half and marathon distances. However, I recognise each and every member of the club has a different goal and running background. At the start of each programme we’ll have a coaching call where I invite new members to set their training and race-day goals, offer advice on how to use the training plans in the programme and how to tailor the plans for different levels of experience or goal.
If you are interested in having me create a personalised running plan for you, there is an option to add this to your purchase after you join Marathon Club Hub. As a member of Marathon Club Hub you will be entitled to a £25% discount for this service.

Inside Marathon Club Hub you’ll have access to me to ask any and every question you have about your unique marathon training journey.
All the individualised coaching is done via our group coaching calls and in our private Facebook group, you will not only be able to receive personalised coaching for your questions but will also receive incredible value from the questions and coaching of other members of the group.
Here’s the truth: you can only ask a question about what you know you don’t know. You can’t ask a question about what you don’t know you don’t know. That’s why being part of a group is so amazing!
However, I recognise that some runners want the personal touch, which is why this summer I'm giving 5 lucky runners the opportunity to work with me 1:1 in my Master Marathoner Programme. Message me (Helen@wentworth-wellness.co.uk) for more information around how this personalised coaching works, the transformation and results you can expect.

I’ve created my Master Marathoner Programme just for you! Master Marathoner is my VIP programme that allows you to get everything inside Marathon Club Hub PLUS you get me as your own private Marathon Club Hub coach. This option includes weekly email check-ins and fortnightly 1:1 coaching call, in addition to the Training and Group Coaching available inside Marathon Club Hub.
This is a limited offer and there are only 5 spots available (evening and Saturday spots sell out fast), so if private coaching is important to you, be sure to snag your spot before my Master Marathoner Programme sells out.
I accept VERY FEW private coaching clients because most of my time and energy is spent helping runners who join Marathon Club Hub and my Eat Right to Run group programme. If you are interested in private coaching with me send an email to Helen@wentworth-wellness.co.uk to find out if you are a good fit.

That depends on how much you are determined to achieve your amazing running goals and whether you follow the running and conditioning plans and take action on what you learn inside the programme.
How much would you pay to be certain you could achieve your life goal?
What’s it worth to finally be running down the finishing line of your first marathon and having much treasured ‘bling’ draped around your neck? Just how proud will you feel!
How much would you pay to prove your sceptics wrong? To finally have the confidence to do anything you desire because you have been able to do ‘the impossible for you’, to do something that very few people like you have ever done in their life?

I know some of the plans inside Marathon Club Hub makes it sound like it’s only a programme for beginner runners or first-time marathoners, but that’s not the case.
Yes, I coach completely new runners to get started running, but that’s a very small part of the programme.
If you haven’t been able to get the results you want yet, that’s likely because you’ve not been training optimally. I coach you to run each of your running workouts right, in doing conditioning exercises to build your body strong and in my 6 segments to marathon training success that will help you get trained, ready and prepare to run your marathon.
Regardless of your current running experience and expertise, if you have a goal that you haven’t been able to reach yet, the training, the coaching, the content and community in Marathon Club Hub is a great fit for you.
