JUSTINE’S STORY

From an intimidating goal to her first marathon finish.

“The biggest change though, has been my mindset.”

When Justine began working with Coach Greg, she had run half marathons, but a full marathon felt daunting. In her review, she described how training tailored to her goals helped her become stronger, trust the process, and build confidence.

After an 18-mile training run, she realized the distance wasn’t as overwhelming as she once expected. She went on to complete the Hartford Marathon.

Justine highlighted Greg’s attention to detail, personalized training, weekly check-ins, and ability to adjust her workouts when needed.
