Testimonials

"I wanted to thank my APTS coaches for contributing to my recent success in the Boston Marathon where I ran a PB of 3 hours and 41 minutes. Since joining APTS I have taken 26 minutes off my marathon time while decreasing my number of runs per week. I am a believer and proof that your training plan really works. I am now dedicated to my 3 specific training runs (Tempo, Track & long run) with supplementation of a bike work out or recovery run. I would never have believed that I could increase my speed by so much, let alone run a 3:41 by doing only 3 runs/week. I am so grateful for the coaching and support that I have received from APTS. I could not have gone into my race so well-prepared if it were not for my coaches. In addition to my training plan, you help me plan my nutrition for race day, make a race plan that that allowed for modification based on race day and ensure that I was mentally and physically prepared for a hilly marathon course all so that I could execute my dream race plan. I am still basking in the success of my race.

I am so grateful to Kate, Kevin, Jon and Brian for their belief in me. Anytime that I doubted myself you were all there to tell me I could do it. Thanks for helping me fulfill a life-long dream. I will never forget my Boston experience or the help APTS gave me to get to Boston. You guys are awesome and I look forward to many more years of training together."

A sincerely happy APTS runner
