Testimonial: Marathon Runner

I received this amazing feedback this week from one of my coached runners. Jennifer ran Bournemouth marathon a few weekends ago, here's what she had to say about her training and racing:

I attempted a marathon in 2010, but was bitterly disappointed by my performance. I took 4 hours and 50 minutes and hit wall after wall. There was none of the 'high' or sense of achievement I had experienced with successful half marathons. I thought the full marathon was beyond me

However, I watched my brother run a marathon and I knew I wanted to prove that I could do it. This time I didn't just try to clock up miles; instead I worked with Mark from WhittleFit. I completed a range of training and really benefited from very focused speed and hill work. Plus I worked on my core. The plan was built around me and accommodated a very demanding job and family life.

The end result: a marathon in 3 hours and 52 minutes and a 'High' that lasted a week! I am really proud of my achievement but do owe it to personalised coaching and support.

A huge thanks to WhittleFit.

Congratulations on your amazing race and thank you Jennifer for your kind words!
