Coach Estelle's Inspirational Journey

From Overweight to Running Coach

  1. Coach Estelle's story is one of remarkable transformation and a testament to the power of dedication and healthy choices. Certified as an ASA Level 1 Middle to Long Distance coach, her journey began in 2018 when she weighed 95kg and faced the daily struggles of an unhealthy lifestyle. Fueled by a desire to witness her children grow up and motivated by a commitment to change, Coach Estelle embarked on a journey of self-discovery and well-being.

    In her first year, she joined a ladies Bootcamp, making healthier choices each day, resulting in a significant weight loss of 10kg. A pivotal moment came when she started walk/running with her mom, covering 5km multiple times a week. This newfound passion led her to a local running club, where she not only found a community but also formed lasting friendships with fellow runners.

  2. Coach Estelle's dedication continued to evolve as she embraced the challenge of running a half marathon. Winning a 12-week program with a running coach marked a turning point in her journey. Having a coach became a game-changer, providing accountability, consistency, and pushing her beyond her comfort zone. This experience fueled her drive, and she went on to conquer marathons and Comrades Marathon.

    Driven by her love for running and a desire to empower others, Coach Estelle pursued certification as a Running Coach. Her mission is clear: to inspire individuals to break free from their comfort zones, adopt consistency, and cultivate healthy habits. She understands the transformative impact of coaching firsthand and is committed to helping others experience the same.

    Coach Estelle Oct 2023
I started running about 3 years ago and was happy with 5km. 5km became 10km, which was a massive achievement for me, and then 10km became 21km. I could not do the 21km without any coaching. Estelle came to my rescue. She asked me when I wanted to run my first 21km and what my goal was. The date I had chosen was the 13 February and I said I just wanted to finish comfortably. My 12-week journey then started. Estelle sent me weekly training programs and checked up on me regularly. I felt confident on the day of my race but also nervous as 21km lay ahead of me. I finished not quite in the time I wanted, I wanted to finish under 3hrs and finished on 3hrs but I finished. Thanks to Estelle’s training, I had a comfortable run and could still walk the next day. Now to get to that next goal of under 3hrs for next 21km.
Ek het op n laat ouderdom in my lewe besluit om te begin hardloop. Na 5 Two Oceans 21km het ek steeds nie die regte tegniek gehad. Ek het Estelle ontmoet deur my run klub en kan haar met alle vrymoedigheid aanbeveel. Haar kennis en vaardigheid is 'n moet vir enige beginner, dit was altans vir my!
