What we’re about
A coffee, community and conversation-focused run club. Slow Paced Run Club is where women of every fitness level can build confidence, consistency and connection while running at their own pace. We’re a run club that’s about so much more than movement. 🏃🏽♀️ Distance: all of our scheduled runs are approximately 30 minutes of movement! 🤓 Pace: we keep things conversational, think 6:30-7:30/km, but we walk when needed
Meeting regularly

Hey, I’m Shainah - usually in the gym, or at the back of the running pack trying to keep up, and reminding myself there’s coffee at the finish line.
Hi, I’m Shainah, and I’m the host of Slow Paced Run Club. 🤍 I founded the club in 2023 after going to a run club and realising I just couldn’t keep up. I could see the value in the community, connection, and support that running can bring, but I needed a space where I could move at my own pace, and I wanted to create that same space for other women. Even after all these years, I still wouldn’t call myself a runner, and I know how intimidating it can feel to try something new. That’s why Slow Paced Run Club is designed to remove the pressure and make running (or walking!) accessible, enjoyable, and social. I wanted a space where women could feel safe, encouraged, and included, no matter their experience or fitness level. Outside of the run club, you’ll find me in the gym, working on strength, lifting and moving my body in ways that make me feel strong and confident. I’m also a big believer in the little joys, like coffee chats after a run, a little sweet treat or walks in the sunshine with my sausage dog! Slow Paced Run Club is more than just a weekly workout. It’s a community where women can move at their own pace, try something new without fear, and connect with like-minded women who lift each other up.
