Houston Marathon, Official Online Training Program

Success Stories

Justin Warhurst, Bath Half Marathon
"What a great plan. By sticking to it (I did 38 out of the 40 planned sessions) and trusting it I reduced my half marathon PB from 1.38 to 1.33.34. The feeling of strength and fitness throughout the race was fantastic, enabling me to run a negative split and to get quicker every mile from mile 4."
Accomplishment: PR at Bath Half: 1:33:34 with a negative split

Robert Sawchuk, Sugar Land Half
"I signed up for runcoach when I entered the 2013 Houston half marathon. I really liked the variety of workouts and how the program adjusted for my actual runs and races. I didn't do too well in Houston due to terrible weather and over crowding, but 6 weeks after I ran a PR shaving over 30 seconds a mile off my previous best time."
Accomplishment: Houston Half Marathon: 2:06:28 to Sugar Land Half 1:53:06

Emmy Smy, Bath Half Marathon
"After struggling with a knee injury I was worried I wouldn't make the Bath Half. runcoach's focus on my current fitness helped me build up my stamina but also concentrate on my form for a PB. No dodgy knee! "
Accomplishment: Personal Best For The Bath Half Marathon, 2:17:19

Jennifer Rosett, Detroit Half Marathon
"I think the runcoach program is one of the best I have used. The pace runs, which I never did on my own because I would not have known where to start with tempos and miles, was probably the biggest component of getting me to a PR!! I am now using the program to train for my first 10k and first half!! "
Accomplishment: Cowtown 5K (03-10-2013): 33:56 PR – training for first 10k

Rene Vereecken
"I am extremely pleased with the results of my first half marathon in Houston, TX. Run coach gave me the structure and confidence I needed to develop a solid training program. I never thought I could break the two hour mark and did so with a commanding 1:53:00. Thank you for a great program and I look forward to even better times!!! "
Accomplishment: Houston Half Marathon: 1:53:00 – completed first half-marathon

Azucena Coronel, A Will To Run
"I completed Surf City this year in my best time ever. More important than the time was that running has kept me sane through breast cancer, injury, and many of life’s challenges. Thank you runcoach for helping me run more."
Accomplishment: Ran to overcome all her obstacles

Ann Cooksey, Start to Finish
"This was my first whole and thanks to the training from runcoach I finished strong. I was exhausted but totally over joyed that I made it all of the way. Every time I think about it I smile and I want to get out there and do more."
Accomplishment: Louisiana Marathon -1st Marathon in 5:03:01
