WHY DID YOU START COACHING WITH ROSS?

For me, I was training for the first marathon.  I had been running uncoached for a little over a year and wanted to get marathon training right. I heard and seen people get it so wrong. I was struggling to get the motivation to stick to a plan but also be held accountable for my training. Ross help with all of this. He made it easy to understand and made the long hours of training fit around my busy schedule.

WHAT GOALS DID YOU HAVE WHEN YOU JOINED? DID YOU ACHIEVE THEM?

I wanted to complete the marathon.  I achieved this and more far passing my expectations and getting a really impressive time. 

WHAT DID YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT THE COACHING EXPERIENCE?

Several things, having Ross to speak to whether it's physical or mental struggles. It was both sometimes during through plan! Ross was great and provided some quality advice to help me through. 

WHAT MADE YOU STAY/ KEEP WORKING WITH ROSS?

Ross was helpful not just with the training but also advice around stretching, injury and niggles. It was invaluable and honest advice . He also wasn't pushy about staying with him, he just wanted the best for me. It made me feel relax and helped stick with him as my coach.
