Hi, I am Diana Henry, ultra runner and proud to be on board with the Mindful Runner Coaching team. 

My ultra-running journey began in 2022 with a simple dream - to run a mountain marathon. What started as a goal became a life-changing journey. Through Mindful Runner Coaching, I found more than fitness, I found nature, community, resilience and confidence that show up every day in life. 

Since then, I’ve completed numerous trail and ultra races across South Africa and fallen in love with the entire process - the training, the challenges and the holistic experience of trail running, a practice that strengthens the body, grounds the mind and feeds the soul.  

Now a qualified ultra-running coach, I coach runners who dream of more, whether you’re starting with trail running, aiming for your first ultra, or already running long distances and wanting to grow stronger.   My passion is helping people to discover their strength, connect with nature, and experience what running can truly offer - health, confidence, purpose, and joy.  I will help you with a training plan that fits you, your lifestyle and goals. Let’s make 2026 and beyond your most powerful years, together we will climb higher, run stronger and fall in love with the trails and the magical lifestyle.

If you have a dream, even one that feels impossible, I’m here to help you build it, one mindful step at a time- together with the beauty and fun. 

Dream big, feel alive and discover the magic.
