Finished my 3rd marathon and knocked 22 minutes off my PB!!! Soooo incredibly happy with how the training and the race went, 9miler style!!!! Felt fantastic thru the entire race, even sped up the last few kms! Could not be happier!!! Went from running a 5 hour marathon to 4:37:03!!!!

Look who I found at the start line of the Vancouver Marathon!

Hello fellow 9 milers! I live in a small town in northern British Colombia Canada, called Vanderhoof. I started running at 35 years old and was eager to run a full marathon. But after several attempts using traditional training methods and repeatedly getting injured I discovered Marlies and Baz and their 9 mile program! They coached me to my first full marathon in Banff, Alberta and then I stayed on with them for another half year when I got into the London Marathon!! I’m totally hooked now and will always use the 9 Mile program!!! My ‘traditional running style’ friends are starting to come around to this new way of thinking too 😉
