2006 Melbourne Marathon

(Online coaching client feedback)
Having been a sprinter and power athlete as a youngster, I
never, in my wildest dreams, believed that I could ever finish a
marathon. In fact, as a decathlete my eyes would glaze over and
my mouth would dry right up prior to my 10th
discipline, which was the 1500metres.
It was an enormous challenge to run that last event.
This year I sought the advice and wisdom from Pat as I
endeavoured to finish a marathon well and in a personal best
time.
I had started in 2 previously and finished one in 3:56:58 (Gold
Coast 06), the other I didn't finish. Pats program and service
was a really enjoyable process. The speed sessions took me back
20 years, made me feel a lot younger, loving every session.
As a result of his direction and advice I was able to pull off
this year's Melbourne Marathon in 3:36:38, a fabulous outcome
for me.
I am blown away by Pat's online advice, his service and
willingness to input into my goals the way he has done. He has
carefully made me believe in myself and what can be achieved,
setting me targets that were both achievable and challenging and
despite the sheer volume of runners that he mentors there was
NEVER a hint of complacency or reluctance to take the time to
help me realise my goals.
I want to sincerely thank you Pat for this and let's crack
3:15!!
