In 2007 I ran the Chicago Marathon. Conditions were horrible and I was disappointed with my time. I re-ran the race in 2009. My goal was to break the 4 hour mark. Based upon my skill level, this was a somewhat aggressive goal. Marcin prepared a detailed training schedule to help me achieve my goal. It wasn’t easy – but the humorous comments Marcin made in my log book were amusing. The most important point is that I followed 90% of his instructions and finished the race in 3:59:11. This was a huge accomplishment for me at age 48! Marcin was also great about tailoring the workout schedule to fit within my busy life. Peter, who is my personal trainer at Equilibrium, was indispensable in helping me follow through on the training program by assisting me with strength training, core training and general fitness advice.
I recently registered for the half ironman taking place in Racine, Wisconsin in July. Marcin once again prepared a detailed training program for me.
