We asked our class members about their experience. Here's what they said . . .
"...That is when my addiction to Run On! began. I knew we needed good running shoes, but I wasn’t sure how much faith I wanted to put in running stores, so we decided to go to three and see how different their shoe advice would be. To my surprise, between 3 humans and 1 computer everyone agreed on what type of shoe I needed. The people at Run On! seemed to care more about running and us than just the shoes they were trying to sell us. Mitch, Michele, and Lauren seemed so enthused by running that it was contagious, and without looking down on us for our weight and lack of experience." Read whole article.

I signed up for a half marathon training class in June 2010. I was turning 50 in October of that year, so thought it would be a good bucket list item. Plus always wanting to lose weight and I had just moved to San Antonio, so thought it would be a good place to meet people, also. So I had been going to the gym fairly regularly, but had really never run more than a few miles at a time. I thought it would be hard, but ok. Boy, was I wrong, I was no where near ready to run 6 or 7 miles in week 2, though I did it. For the whole summer, I avoided steps whenever possible, especially the days after the Sunday runs, and would have avoided walking if that were possible. But then started to enjoy it and surprisingly enough, wanted to keep doing it. It also had the unexpected side benefit of becoming very therapeutic during a rough past year when I lost my younger sister and my dad. "
"Thank you so much for the training and motivation! You made me look at running in a completely different way. I'm very proud of my new mile time and owe my improvement to you!!!"
"I could not have made it without your encouragement and belief in me!! Especially last night.I learned a lesson on how important good nutrition is for a successful run!! Thanks again for your patience and motivation!!"
"
I would like to thank coach Glenn (for 2 night runs) and coach Rick (for 6 week training) that resulted in my pace improvement. It's hard to believe that just in six week training that I could make a 5 K run in 27 minutes. But it did happen on the Saturday Fuego 5K run event. I walked away with a second place on my age group. Again thank you very much for the enjoyment from running."
