"I have been writing my own training plans for years.  I did my research, found some generic plans, tweaked them for me and went with it.  I had success in finishing races as well as some strong PRs.  I hadn’t run a marathon in 7 years and wanted to get that sub-4.  I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to come up with a schedule, so I reached out to Laura, who I had followed on Instagram for a few years.  She chatted and felt like we clicked.  Laura is great to work with; we came up with a great plan for a hilly course and I nailed it.  After that race, I realized why people liked the marathon so we are going for another BIG goal this spring.  She tweaks my plan when I have a long day at work or the weather isn’t cooperating.  She is supportive and always responds quickly. I really enjoy the monthly check-ins to see how training is going. I am so glad I took this leap to work with her.  Takes planning stress away from me, I just gotta show up!"
