“Last year, I made it my goal to qualify for Boston at age 50. After sifting through five marathon training books to train for my first marathon after 23 years, six kids, and a very busy life; I found Luke Humphrey's marathon training book and the Brooks Hansons team the absolute right fit.
I enjoyed the book, related to the type of training regimen that would work into a very busy professional and family life and started to apply his principles last fall to make it happen. Picking the goal was the hardest thing because at that time, I was not yet at the level of fitness to qualify. I trained steadily diligently three months to increase my distance, speed and strength just so I could get to the starting line of my first 18-week training cycle. I applied Luke's book to the letter (typically running at 4:15 AM or sometimes even 3:30 AM before catching a plane at LAX). I changed some other habits as well such as my diet.
After all that, I came within 14 seconds of my stated goal to qualify for Boston a couple months back. I could not be more satisfied and with no reservation recommend Luke's training books and coaching services if you are serious about achieving your goal. If I can do it, you can too!”
