 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Brenda and Run717. I initially thought I was "only" getting a running plan. Brenda looked at me holistically. I received a plan for nutrition, rest, strengthening, stability and running.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I signed up for Brenda’s coaching services earlier this year when I decided to train for my first marathon. She developed a personalized training program for me and provided regular feedback, advice, and encouragement, which helped me get across the finish line!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brenda is fantastic. After having shin splints on and off for about 2 years, she was able to get me comfortably running upwards of 90 miles/month! And through her training regiment she pulled about 3 minutes off my 5k time. Can’t recommend her highly enough. She listens, creates, and adapts your training plan for what you need. Well worth the cost.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. You want to become a better runner this is the place to be! Brenda helped me take my marathon time down from 3hours and 52 minutes to 3 hours and 8 minutes. Without her help, I would still be making the same mistakes. GO SIGN UP NOW!
