A 12-month unique blend of one-on-one coaching and peer-supported mentoring to the start line of your biggest adventure yet in 2025.
FEATURED IN:
Breaking 250 is the training plan and community you have been searching for — It’s time to join a thriving sisterhood of women who are embarking on their biggest adventure yet in 2025.
EVERY ELEMENT AND EVERY DETAIL HAS BEEN SCULPTED TO TURN THIS DAUNTING EXPEDITION INTO AN ACHIEVABLE CONQUEST BEYOND YOUR WILDEST DREAMS.
You’ve been toying with the idea of entering your first multi-stage event for years but you’ve held back because you’ve been worried that you’ll have to dramatically scale your training.
You still have doubts and wobbles about what you think is possible and wonder if you’re totally crazy to think you have what it takes to undertake a challenge of this scope.
You think you’re running out of time and are too old to even consider attempting a challenge of this size because you’re not used to seeing ordinary women from all walks of life out the trails.
You’ve no idea what a multi-stage ultramarathon entails but you’re looking for a new challenge. And the idea of carrying all the supplies on your back for 7 days both terrifies and excites you.
But you still hold this wild belief that at the very least you've got it in you to get to the start line.
YOU JUST NEED A PROPER PLAN AND A SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
I’m an Ultramarathon Coach for (extra)ordinary women.
Since launching my flagship Breaking 250 programme in 2020, (extra)ordinary women aged 26 to 67 have reached life-changing ultramarathon start lines.
Together we have lifted each other up, defied what we thought was once possible and stepped up to crazy hard challenges.
As a RacingThePlanet registered trainer, I help female athletes train for their dream ultramarathon they never thought possible.
When you have an easy-to-understand bespoke training plan built around you, you are clear on what you need to complete each day to move you closer to your goal of crossing the finish line of this intimidating race.

I loved the WhatsApp community but most of all the race itself and meeting all of the beautiful ladies.
You have to do this!!! The best decision you will ever make.”

“Knowing that Hannah was always there for me was instrumental to get to the starting line of this intimidating race.
Before joining Breaking 250, I was struggling with consistency in training, fearing the unknown, self-doubt and indecision in entering a challenge of this scope.
The structure of Hannah’s coaching, the availability and communication with Hannah, the advice and flexibility to adjust coaching plans, and the variety of workouts were among many things that benefited me the most.
Being part of this project provided me with an environment propitious to persevere in my goal of getting to the start line. I received loads of encouragement and support from the group, I don’t think I would have stayed on task and motivated without them.

“Hannah took me from (nearly) zero to multistage ultra runner, with the confidence that if I followed the plan, I would be able to get the race done.
I really think it would have taken me so many more years to actually do something like this, without being guided through the process.
I’m so grateful that I found Hannah and had her wisdom, calmness and guidance through my training, from day one I never felt like she doubted whether or not I could do it, which was probably just the confidence boost I needed to sign up.

Most of the women I support are limited by training time in some way and I understand that training can sometimes take a back seat.
I’ll work with you closely to ensure we make every hour of your limited training time count.

“Being part of this project provided me with an environment propitious to persevere my goal of getting to the start line.
Before the project I was struggling with consistency in training , fearing the unknown, self doubt and the scope of undertaking such a type of race.
I don’t think I would have stayed on task and motivated without the group, this is the main reason why I joined the project and it truly helped with the difficult logistics. Knowing that Hannah was always there for me was instrumental to get to the starting line of this intimidating race.

“Hannah took me from (nearly) zero to multistage ultra, with the confidence I would be able to get the race done.
I think it would have taken me so many more years to actually do something like this, without being guided through the process.
The amount of things to do can feel overwhelming at first so it is good to have these broken down into chunks.
I’m so grateful that I found Hannah and had her wisdom, calmness and guidance through my training, from day one I never felt like she doubted whether or not I could do it, which was probably just the confidence boost I needed to sign up.”

“Since being a part of Project: Breaking 250® I feel an inner confidence and contentment.
Before joining the group I was struggling with consistent training and looking for a new challenge.
I arrived at the start line healthy and fully prepared to finish my first multi-stage ultramarathon. I now know that big goals can be achieved with the proper preparation and support from an experienced coach and team mates.
Loved the entire experience (training, preparation, team, event)!”

“I developed belief that I could do it, and it never wavered. I do not think this would have been the case if I hadn't been part of Hannah's group.
Before joining, I was struggling with needing guidance and structure about how to approach training and planning for my first multi stage race.
Through our training, although I had some doubts due to injury. I developed belief that I could do it, and it never wavered. I do not think this would have been the case if I hadn't been part of Hannah’s group. You will get to train alongside some incredible women. Do it - you will feel transformed.
