Meet Caroline Claassen

My main goal is to help you run your best race while enjoying the process and staying injury-free.

Caroline Claassen

Founder, RunLetters Run Coaching

I am a UESCA certified running coach, a road and trail runner, and the founder of RunLetters. I co-lead Ericeira Runners locally and run the global RunLetters Run Club. I have raced everything from 10Ks and half marathons to marathons and ultra marathons across both road and trail.

My half marathon PR sits at 1:23:43. I placed 3rd at the Lisbon Marathon 2025 among the Portuguese women (10th female overall), became 2nd female at Ultra X Madeira 50K (4th overall), and recently ran my longest distance at 107K.

8 Mile Marker Sessions

Mile Markers are live sessions where we dive deep into a topic related to the half marathon and your training. Every session is recorded and available for replay.

01

Welcome to the 16 weeks

How the program works, how to use your plan, and what to expect on race day. This first Mile Marker Session takes place in your cohort's first week.

02

Nutrition throughout the plan

Fueling your training, not just race day — what to eat, when, and why it matters

03

Running form and efficiency

Cadence, posture, and the small form leaks that slow you down or lead to injury

04

Mobility for runners

What actually matters, what you can skip, and how to stay consistent without adding hours

05

Strength for runners

The non-negotiable minimum — what to do, how often, and how to fit it around training

06

Pacing strategy and how we train it

Effort zones, even splits, and why going out too fast is the most common race mistake

07

The mental side of racing

Hitting the wall, race nerves, and how to stay in the run when it gets hard

08

Taper week survival guide

Why you feel terrible in taper and why that means everything is working
