Thanks to our client Jen Harper for sending in this testimonial about working with MTA Coach Lynn. She ran both the Athens Marathon and Huntsville Marathon and made great time!

I had run marathons in the past but most of them were flat and in cold weather. For someone who doesn’t enjoy running in the heat or doing hills, Athens was going to be out of

Congrats to our client Julia on her 7 minute PR! She writes, 3:54:57 at the Tucson Marathon today!!! A 7 minute PR for me despite it being 80 degrees by the time I got to the finish! 🥵 I missed my two peak weeks of training due to injury and my longest run was 18 miles, so I honestly started the race without even being sure that I could safely finish. SO grateful to MTA Coach Athena for patiently getting me through the ups and downs and all the way to the finish line feeling like I ran the

Congrats to our client Greg who has been getting faster every year! He writes, I recently completed the Richmond Marathon with a time of 4:04:02 and a 2-minute negative split on the 2nd half of the race.

Congrats to our client Jason on completing his first marathon in 4:17 at the NYC Marathon! He writes, It was incredible experience! I felt amazing and felt like I was flying mostly with ease & energy from the crowds up to the Queensboro Bridge. After that was definitely a grind and my pace fell off but I got it done. For a not-so-easy marathon and my first one I was super stoked with the time I ended with! I had that glute injury early September and missed about 5-6 weeks of training

Congrats to our client Alison on her 34 minute PR! We love her outlook.

The crisp fall weather and gorgeous route through apple orchards and farmland, not to mention the friendly, low-key vibe made it a joy. I’m proud of how

Congrats to our client Ashely on her PR at the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon! She writes, "On Sunday I completed my second marathon in Milwaukee. I have been working with Coach Carri.

I really think I could have been sub 4 if the weather was a bit cooler. Regardless, I'm really happy. I enjoyed working
