Myself and Marie have now been working together for 14 weeks and I am really happy to say that Marie is loving her running more than ever which is great news. Recently I decided to put Marie into a 5k race at her local Park Run. I knew from her training stats that she was really improving but until you put an athlete into a race you can never be 100% certain of what they are capable of. And even then there are times when things do no go to plan, training and racing and sport in general can at times be a bumpy path.
On the 14th of August Marie went for a fast time at Woodley Park Run. I am really pleased to announce that she finished in a new pb of 28 minutes 49 seconds, knocking a massive 2 minutes 14 seconds off her previous best, a massive improvement, so cool! Not only that but Marie is showing an excellent ability to absorb consistent weekly volume, she is now smashing out over 30 miles a week! This is something that she would not of believed possible only a couple of months ago.
We are now continuing to build for the Reading Half Marathon in November, please keep an eye on my site for further updates, I am really enjoying working with Marie.
