Myself and Marco started working together only 8 weeks ago. Marco had previously been following an online plan but the problem was that he was continuously running most of the sessions at the wrong pace and then as so often happens,he picked up an injury. He was then forced to stop running for around 4 weeks.
Fortunately Marco contacted me and we had a good chat about what he wanted to achieve. I always say I need a minimum of 12 weeks to make a difference to an athlete but Marco was adamant that he wanted to try for the a pb at the Olympic Park 10k on the 22nd of May 21. I decided to agree and we started work as soon as we could. It was quickly very obvious to me that Marco is a talented runner, it was just that he lacked a decent training programme and would clearly benefit from having a coach.
After just 8 weeks I am very pleased to announce that Marco achieved a fantastic time of 40 minutes 53 seconds knocking off 40 seconds from his previous pb! What is more amazing is that we only had 8 week together! I am very pleased with Marco's progress in such a short space of time and I know he can continue to improve over the coming weeks,watch this space!
