When Sonia approached me after the Murcia Half Marathon in January and offered her coaching services I was a little apprehensive, having only just got back to regular training and racing. Six months later, however, I have no regrets whatsoever. Sonia guided me through my first-ever marathon buildup with a combination of great advice and a relaxed attitude. She was able to build a programme of specific long runs and sessions within the training routine I had established and the series of races I had planned. When things weren’t going well (niggles, sickness, under-par races or training sessions) Sonia helped to calm me down, and on marathon day I exceeded my own expectations, smashing my initial goal of sub 2:40:00. I’ll definitely be asking for her help for marathon no. 2!
