If you’re an older runner and you’re not sure you can improve, let us show you how we helped Bill turn his 5k pace into his half marathon pace.
When Bill started with us, he just wanted to help lower his blood pressure and to be able to RUN a half marathon
At Bill’s age, he wasn’t sure if he’d be able to run a fast half marathon. He was also coming off some medical issues that made running PR’s seem impossible.
Bill crushed his first half marathon, running 1:45:10. That’s 8:01 per mile, where as his 5k time just before signing up was only 8:03 per mile!
"RC has been instrumental in helping me get stronger and be healthier overall"
Bill needed a structured plan with coaches watching out for his training. As we all do, he found it a bit too easy to skip a run here and there.
Instead of an easy/hard method, Bill thought he just had to run hard every day. This prevented adequate balance to his training and hindered his recovery.
Like many runners, Bill didn’t have much experience with nutrition, running form, and other “little things.” Thus, even when he trained hard, he wasn’t seeing the improvement he wanted.
After less than a year of training with us, Bill ran his first half marathon in 1:45:10, far surpassing his expectations. Now, after a year of smart and consistent training - and at age 65 - he’s stronger than ever and ready to tackle even bigger goals.
