When I first sat down with Vic, I had three goals in mind for my third marathon:
1. Arrive at the starting line healthy and ready for the race
2. Finish in under 5 hours
3. Be happy when I crossed the finish line
Based on our initial discussion and my past marathon experiences, Vic developed a plan tailored to me and my time goal. This was no cookie-cutter plan, so when a minor injury needed time to heal, we made adjustments together. Thanks to this personalized touch, I was able to cross a marathon finish line—for the first time not thinking, “I’m never doing this again!” This training plan also set me up to beat my time goal by more than I imagined. I also achieved PRs at the 10k and half marathon distances along the way. Why train with a coach, rather than download a free training plan off the internet? This plan is personalized to you, your goals, your abilities and possibilities, and can be adjusted along the way. Why train with Vic? He has a seemingly limitless positive attitude and enthusiasm for running. You get his unwavering support and accountability. He brings his excellent knowledge of the physical and mental aspects of running needed to reach your goals. He also gives truly priceless one-on-one attention. I’m looking forward to new running challenges and I can’t wait to begin another block of training with Coach Vic.
