Who is TMR for?

For Women Who Do It All—and Still Want More.

You train between meetings, after bedtime, or before the sun rises.

You’re chasing performance, but not at the cost of your health or joy. Tired Mom Runs was built for you—whether you're a runner, triathlete, skier, or cyclist aiming to train with purpose and power. Or a real woman who is looking for your athletic self. Male athletes, who are sure of themselves who need a no-BS advice on endurance performance - you're welcome too.

What makes this coaching different?

Smarter Training Starts with Better Tools.

I combine AI-driven platforms Athletica.ai with expert human coaching. You get a personalized training experience backed by biomechanics, strength, sports science, and tech that learns you—not just your power. pace or heart rate, quicker than a human coach alone. It is athlete-centered, response-guided training and coaching.

Why Women Trust Me

What Real Athletes Say

Don't take my word for it - hear how smart training changed everything for women just like you.

Ayn

As a post-menopausal endurance athlete with osteoporosis, MJ's strength program has helped me feel stronger, fitter, and more prepared for Ironman than ever.

Maya

MenoStrong was like flipping the lights on in each room of a 5 bedroom house. Balance, strength, mindset, nutrition, rest. I am properly equipped to ENJOY my body in this second half of life!

Katie

With Marjaana as my XC ski &run coach, my training has improved immensely. She really cares about me as a person and an athlete.

Gillian

When I started working with Marjaana, I couldn't do any push-ups on my toes -- something I can now do easily. She's helped me become stronger holistically rather than just a stronger runner, and I'm looking forward to seeing my progress continue in 2025.
