"Anytime I questioned whether or not I could do it, I just told myself to trust in the plan. It worked! I would hire The Marathon Mind coaches again in a heartbeat."

I hired Sherrie to write me a plan to qualify for the New York marathon with the Big Cottonwood Canyon Half Marathon. It was an amazing experience! Sherrie is so knowledgeable and encouraging. The plan was a killer. There were days that I wanted to quit because it was so hard. But I stuck with it and I’m so so glad I did. I ended up beating my time by 9 minutes!
