Meet Kels

've had a pleasure to work with Kels on her 2017 Twin Cities Marathon training and without a doubt, she's been such a pleasure and a great addition to our MTM team...always the cheerleader and helps keep everyone on their toes!

1. I sought out a coach and group that was going to push me further than just a pat on the back for finishing, I still get that here, but now with better finishing times. I chose to work with Mile to Marathon out of respect and excitement that generated from Ron and the other group members he coached. 

2. This process of finding and working with Ron helped me overcome and point out the gaps in my mental strategies and push my body to be and do better. He has utilized my natural abilities and paired them with training to strengthen my weaknesses. He has never made my 

3. 35 minutes and 22 seconds; that's what I dropped from my marathon time in just 3 months of working with Mile to Marathon. 

4. I feel supported and encouraged with this group. If you're looking for something to help you achieve a goal and achieve it to your highest abilities, I would truly consider working with Mile to Marathon and Coach Ron. Plus, look at the track record (pun intended), you don't have this much success on BS.​

Meet Linnea Burman

​I've had the pleasure to assist Linnea this past year on her running goals, and what a year she's had (of coarse I'm biased here), Linnea has PR'd in every distance she raced this year from the 1 mile to the marathon and BQ'd twice in the process. Following is her thoughts on her year. 

See you on the roads!
Coach Ron 

  1. What prompted you to choose Mile To Marathon Coaching services? What situation or problem did you need to solve?
In 2016, I completed my third Ragnar Great River with the Medtronic Neurotic Soles. I really enjoyed the team dynamic but as the team became more successful, I felt I needed to up my game to continue to earn my spot. At that time, I had no range between my short or long-distance pace. I found Ron through Coach Up and hoped to work on speed. We did a couple of workouts together, and he encouraged me to join the team runs. I was always nervous about running with a group, expecting that I was slower than most. I even convinced myself that I preferred to run alone. But I trusted his advice and I’m so glad I did!
  1. How did you benefit from working with Mile To Marathon?
After the first couple of workouts with Mile to Marathon, I was hooked. The quality of my workouts was better, I was meeting new people from across the community and having a lot more fun. Before I knew it, I had PRed at every distance simply from joining coach-led workouts and running with the Team. In late 2016, I set a goal of qualifying for Boston in 2017 and signed up for the Phoenix Marathon. That is when I signed up for a coaching plan and began increasing the focus of my training. A few months later in Phoenix, I had the run of my life. I took 14 minutes off my marathon time and hit my qualifying time. Even better, I had formed very special friendships and a bond with the Team that provided extra motivation along the way.
  1. What were the results of working with Mile To Marathon?
I found Coach Ron because I wanted to reach personal goals. I’ve set every goal I’ve set so far and look forward to many more. Mile to Marathon is unique in that you can participate with the Team and reap the benefits of coach-led workouts. And, you can also amp up your training by working on a personal training plan with Coach Ron. I have benefitted from both.
The unexpected and greater benefit of joining MTM has been helping others reach their goals. If that resonates with you, Mile to Marathon is the Team for you.
  1. If a potential client was on the fence about whether to work with Mile To Marathon or not, what would you say to them?
Come out and try a couple of runs with Coach Ron and the Team. We love welcoming new people and who doesn’t look good in lime green and purple?
