Steve Desmond - Maine Marathon - Oct 6, 2024

Goal: PR, BQ, 3:25

"I’ve known Coach Shope for roughly 5 years now and have had the pleasure of joining him for several runs and a few races. I had run 5 marathons over the last 7 years and was not seeing any improvement, so I made the decision this summer to enlist the services of Dialed in Running to train for my most recent marathon. The end result was a 5 minute PR on the most difficult course I’ve run so far. Coach Shope’s program was detailed and catered to my specific goals. He made adjustments to my plan based on how I was feeling and provided invaluable feedback on my workouts that helped prepare me for race. Most importantly, he convinced me to believe in myself and to trust the training! I highly recommend Travis, no matter what your running goals might be, he will help get you there!"

Note - Steve ran a 3:22 thus achieving his goals. Boston changed their timing standards a month before this thus adding 5 minutes to his qualifying time and pushing him out of that age group standard
