What Clients Say

DOSE Running has been fantastic. After a few years dealing with injuries, I'm running better than i have for years, and injury free. Best of all, I'm enjoying running more than I have in ages. Scarlett is great. She always delivers a great session, and mixes things up a bit. And she's created a fantastic community of runners who are friendly and welcoming. I'd recommend DOSE to anyone who's thinking about starting running, getting back into it, or looking for a bit more variety in their runs.

After 6 or so years - I don’t think I’ve stuck to an exercise modality & enjoyed it for as long as I have with DOSE! Scarletts’ encouragement, expertise & non judgemental commitment is energising in itself. This, in addition to the incredible crew / community, I cannot recommend DOSE more highly. It’s helped me move my body regularly, learn what I need to be strong, now I love starting my day outdoors in the early morning, (whatever the weather) & at 55 I’m happy to say, I’m fitter than I’ve been! My kids have loved her classes too! I remember the day I started, (after putting it off for about 6 months) I was struck by how she included everyone at such different levels, while gently pushing us out of our comfort zones - no matter our fitness. I was hooked! I’ve worked with many coaches, but none like Scarlett. Her greatest gift is to expertly identify exactly what we need and when, while exploring the great outdoors. I never imagined I’d run 2 half marathons in my 50’s (injury free - touch wood)! Scarlett gives her all. She is a gift to every one of us wanting to enjoy exercising outdoors, no matter where we are at in our personal fitness. There is no recommendation high enough for this beautiful, talented, caring soul 🙏🏼💚

DOSE running has had a tremendously positive impact on me these past few months. In March, I approached Scarlett and told her that I wanted to do a Marathon. At this stage, I couldn't even run 5km. As of last week, myself and three others are Marathon finishers! Scarlett, through the DOSE program, has helped us all achieve our goals - first 10km, then 20k, lastly the Marathon. Now she is guiding us onto our first Ultra. I could not recommend a more caring and invested coach. She was truly there for us every step of the way (literally 😂). Her genuine approach to people and their specific needs is remarkable, and is evident in the individually tailored DOSE programs. Give it a go, your only regret will be not having started sooner!

Our son loves training with Scarlett in the Schools Adventure Athletics Program with DOSE Running! He’s now done 3 terms and the improvement in his fitness and run style is quite dramatic! He loves the variety and challenges offered and has had a very successful athletics season. I highly recommend DOSE Running!

I've run with DOSE for years now after returning to running after having a baby. The group is so friendly and welcoming. Every session is different and time flies. The programs for specific distances are extremely well planned. Incredibly, I have now run quite a few half marathons and even a MARATHON!!!! Lots of us do other sports and have businesses and families and coach Scarlett takes your life into consideration when helping you to achieve your goals. I am forever grateful I found DOSE through the recommendation of my physio.

I have just completed my first programme with Dose and completed a trail Half Ultra marathon! I was runner before joining Dose, but Scarlett has taught me so much about improving my running technique, pace and distance. Best of all, the group is very social, friendly and supportive, and there are runners doing distances from 5km to Ultra Marathons! Scarlett has been available any time if I need support or guidance, and extremely supportive and inspiring. Highly recommended for all running abilities!
