What a 1st 6 months of training with Mile To Marathon it's been for our Denver based Val Luutran. Following is her testimonial.
1: I started looking for a run coach after seeing my race results start to plateau. I thought I could be fitter/more capable than what I was showing on race day, so I wanted to find someone who could help me get there!
2/3: I have equally appreciated the physical and mental gains I’ve made working with Mile To Marathon. I am not only racing faster and feeling stronger in my training runs, but I am also far more confident in myself! Paces and courses that felt daunting or totally out of reach before now feel like achievable challenges, and I’ve enjoyed setting even bigger goals with Coach Ron’s encouragement. I have PRd my marathon, half marathon, and 10K in less than 6 months of coaching, and I think so much of it has come from the mental aspect of working with a coach!
4: If someone was on the fence, I would repeat the gains I shared above, but I would also emphasize how affordable Mile to Marathon is. As a teacher who also enjoys other hobbies, it was hard to justify spending an arm and a leg on a run coach. I looked at a lot of other coaching options with extremely high rates, many of which did not even offer the level of communication and individualized coaching that Mile to Marathon does. The value of coaching, considering how involved and communicative Coach Ron is for the monthly rates, is honestly one of the things that made getting coaching services even possible for me!
