Lorraine Lawson
Author & Online Teacher

Lorraine Lawson is a passionate runner, experienced science educator, and founder of Dynamic Running and Cairns parkrun in Far North Queensland, Australia. With over 25 years of teaching experience and a Bachelor of Science, Lorraine has spent her life inspiring others to embrace learning, movement and personal transformation.
But she didn’t always call herself a runner.
Lorraine took her first steps into distance running as an adult, discovering not just a path to better health but also a deeper connection to herself, nature and a welcoming community. Since then, she’s run countless marathons and ultra-events, whilst also coaching beginners who never thought they could run 5 km.
How to Run Easy is the book she wishes she had when she started. Her mission is simple: to help more people discover the joy of recreational running.
When she’s not teaching, writing or coaching, Lorraine enjoys time with her dogs, Ruby, Caesar and Luke; making baby quilts; learning about longevity and neuroscience and planning her next overseas adventure.
This book is for anyone who’s ever said, 'I could never be a runner.' If you’ve got the willingness, How to Run Easy will meet you where you are—with realistic training plans, practical advice and zero pressure.
