Testimonial
Usually after an event I'd be frustrated and disappointed in my run. Angry that I could have done better if I enjoyed it more and could actually run, I would get back to my car and turn on my wipers to get rid of all the junk mail that piles up on the windscreen before I drove home hoping for better luck next time.
Luckily for me there was one day on which I collected and read the pile. Included in it was your Fit For Life flyer. I got home and checked out the web site and it sounded perfect. Could I commit to 5 evenings with kids screaming and a partner only just walking in the door? I took the plunge and committed to the most productive 5 weeks in my short triathlon career.
Since doing your course I have finished strongly in all my events and recommended the course to everybody I talk to. It even feels more natural now than the laborious strides I was making before.
Thanks for a wonderful course which highlighted some major deficiencies in my running technique and highlighted why I was not enjoying running at all.
