2010 Henwoods Hounds

I was referred to John in March 2010 by Dr. Peter Duggan.  At age 61, my goal was to run a half-marathon, but I had been struggling with minor injuries and was feeling very discouraged.  I began a comprehensive training program that included twice-weekly training sessions, a weekly running schedule, and a nutrition plan.  As a result of John’s coaching, along with his patience and steady encouragement, I successfully ran two half-marathons.  In September 2010, I ran the ING Philadelphia Half-Marathon in 1:52:22, an 8:32 pace, finishing third in my division.  Running strong and injury-free was the best feeling ever, and I will be forever grateful for the influence John and the Henwood Hounds have had on my life.
