Your coach: Anna Frost
Trail Run Adventures coaching is led by Anna Frost, a professional trail and ultra runner with over 20 years of international racing experience. Anna has competed across every terrain and distance, from vertical kilometers to 100-mile mountain races, and has coached runners of all abilities through the same journey she loves: finding your edge, loving the process, and arriving at the start line ready.
Anna holds a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education from Otago University, covering coaching, biomechanics, sports psychology, and nutrition. She brings that science together with real-world experience and a genuine belief that great training should feel as rewarding as race day itself.

Small groups | Fully guided | Global destinations | All logistics handled
Choosing to train with Anna before your trip isn't required, but it makes a real difference. Athletes who arrive with a structured training plan behind them run stronger, recover faster between days, and get more out of every mile.
Whether you're building toward a specific Trail Run Adventures trip, training for a destination race like the Ultra Skyrunning Madeira, or simply wanting to show up fitter and more confident, Anna's Full On Coaching program gives you the preparation to make the most of the adventure ahead.
Three reasons coached athletes get more from their trip
Arrive ready for the terrain — Anna tailors your plan to the specific demands of your destination — elevation, distance, and trail type — so the running feels like a reward, not survival.
Train safely and build progressively — Avoid the common mistake of ramping mileage too fast before a big trip. A structured plan builds fitness in a way that keeps you healthy to the start line.
Get more from the experience — Runners who arrive well-prepared explore further, recover faster between days, and leave with memories — not injuries.
Featured trip: Madeira + Ultra Skyrunning Madeira Race Week
Train for Madeira with Anna
The Santana VK and the 52K Ultra Skyrunning Madeira are world-circuit races — technical, mountainous, and demanding. Anna’s Full On Coaching program is designed to get you to both start lines confident, healthy, and ready to race the terrain Madeira throws at you.
Race selection & goal call: Anna helps you decide — VK only, 52K only, or both back-to-back — based on your current fitness, experience, and how much time you have to prepare.
Madeira-specific training plan on TrainingPeaks: Weekly sessions built around vertical gain, technical descending, and back-to-back race legs — updated every week as your fitness develops.
Nutrition & race-day strategy: Fueling plans for a VK effort and a 52K mountain ultra are very different. Anna covers both, with optional access to a 25% discount on Mikki Williden’s nutrition program.
Arrive race-ready in Madeira: Trail Run Adventures handles the flights, food, accommodation, and logistics. Anna handles your preparation. All you need to do is show up and run.
