Testimonials

"I was able to finish the marathon in a PR of 4:10:09. This was a 46-minute drop from my previous best time. I was able to get to the starting line injury-free with proper rest. My fueling strategy enabled me to finish the 26.2 miles nonstop. The daily e-mail reminders on workouts kept me disciplined."
—Cesar L.

"I finished in 5:33:47. I was right on target. And it was just like the coaches said: Around mile 20, I started passing a lot of people. The second half of my race was only about a minute slower than the first half. I tell you, the marathon training plan is magic. Well, not really magic, because I know a lot of knowledge and experience went into developing it. But it resulted in a day of magic for me!"
—Carolyn T.

"I used your program for the recent ING NYC Marathon and thought the plan was fantastic. Best training program I have used to date. I loved how it was tailored to my ability. My program predicted a goal range of 3:09 to 3:15, and I ran 3:08!"
