Very recently I started working with Marie. As I so often hear Marie was running way too fast,way too often. She was constantly worn out and had found that she could not improve.
I quickly got some structure into Marie and after figuring out heart rates and paces to suit I improved her training significantly from the off. After just under 4 weeks working with me Marie went to her first club race of 2021, a 2.5 mile hilly x country handicap. Marie always struggled and never before had a decent result at this event. She went off first in the slowest group and quickly left all her usual running partners behind! Towards the end of the race Marie had still not been caught and only in the very final stages did 3 of her club mates get past her! Marie had managed to finish an excellent 4th overall, her highest ever position at a club race! Her club mates could not believe the difference in her pace, I just wish I had been there to see their faces! This is a stunning improvement in such a short space of time, and being honest it even caught me by surprise! I am very excited to see how Marie continues to progress as we move towards her target race, a 10k in a few weeks, watch this space!
