Congrats to our client Emily on qualifying for and completing the Boston Marathon! She writes,
Thanks to Coach Abby I ran the Boston marathon last week! I started working with Abby in the spring of 2023 and she helped me train for the Chicago marathon with the goal of getting a BQ. I went from a runner who had run 7 marathons but never did workouts and only focused on mileage to what felt like a semi-professional runner! It was a lot to get used to at first but I quickly saw progress and loved the structure and direction Abby gave me. I ended up with an 8.5 minute buffer in Chicago and made the cut off for the 2025 Boston marathon.
I enjoyed running the race but do not feel compelled to go for it again. Being in Boston made me realize that I love running because it brings so much to my life, and not because of the fast times or big goals. I was inspired by the people who have run Boston multiple times and am glad I was able to experience for the first and probably only time.
Coach Abby has been helping my mom train for a trail 50k that we will be running together this weekend. She is 63 and I am beyond excited to be able to do this together. Thanks to Coach Abby I was able to touch the ceiling and I am forever grateful for her and the MTA community for showing me that running a marathon can truly change your life!
