I've run for a long time and as I'm getting older I'm realising the importance of the stuff Chris teaches. I found it very useful, his knowledge and enthusiasm shines through, thanks Chris.

Katie

Having a plan, along with the course guidance and the check ins online really helped. I completed my goal ultra without getting beat up and actually felt strong to the end! Overall I'm a more confident runner, managed to stay injury free and looking for my next target race!

Jason

I was trying lot's of things, but was still getting injured. I've been getting a lot less recently and I think that's down to the 'whole life' approach." Link to video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-lPOu994OE_YOTB-Kuqr94j8lUFwxv7a/view?usp=sharing
