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.

I’d like to extend a HUGE shout out and thank you to MTA Coach Henry whose leadership and guidance

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
