How a Busy Mum Went From 5km to 42.2km - A Marathon Journey
The Beginning
When Trudy first approached me, she had a big goal, to run the NYC marathon. She had never run a race before and was starting from a place of running less than 5km. The challenge was monumental, but I knew with the right plan, support, and a lot of determination, she could achieve her dream.
Training for success
The primary focus of our training was to build her strength—not just in her legs but all over her body. Running a marathon requires more than just strong legs; it demands core stability, upper body endurance, and a resilient mindset. We started with a strength-building program tailored to her needs, gradually increasing Trudy’s endurance and muscle mass. This was crucial in transitioning her from a 5km runner to someone who could tackle the full 42.2km of the marathon.
“Well I ran the marathon...not in my ideal time, but I still finished, and that was a huge accomplishment for me. Never if you had asked me five years ago if i could do that, i would have said “you’re joking right” - but with consistent training and building my muscle mass i got there.”
Mission Accomplished!!
The marathon day came, and while she didn’t hit their ideal time, she crossed the finish line—a massive accomplishment.
Training with Trudy was always a highlight of my day. Even on the tough days, when she was sore or tired, we managed to keep the sessions positive and fun. Her determination and positive attitude made the journey not just successful, but enjoyable for both of us.
In the end, this experience was a testament to what can be achieved with the right support, a solid plan, and unwavering commitment. I'm incredibly proud of Trudy's journey and honored to have been a part of it.
