First Full Marathon Thanks to MTA Coaching

Congrats to our client Evyn Whiteley on finishing her first marathon! She writes,

“I wanted to say a huge thank you to MTA and Coach Jena for helping me complete my first full marathon in Chicago this weekend.

I ran it with my Dad, Brian Whiteley who introduced me to MTA.

Running by his side, with his support was unmatched. This is the highlight of my year, and I will forever remember this weekend.

We completed the race in 5hr and 26 min. This was the hardest thing I have ever done, and I can’t wait to do it all over again!

I cannot thank you enough for pairing me with Coach Jena. She was encouraging, and helped me realize that I can run much faster than I think I can. I felt very prepared and supported by her and MTA.

And most importantly, I cannot thank my Dad enough. He’s my hero, and has instilled in me a love of running by pure example.” -Evyn Whiteley. Continue Reading →

Incredible Training Plan and Steadfast Support

Congrats to our client Kofo Obasanjo-Blackshire on finishing another marathon and earning a 12 minute PB!! She writes,

Had a whale of a time at the 50th Berlin Marathon 🇩🇪 on Sunday. It was pure magic!

The weather was glorious and the vibe was phenomenal. My second destination race, this anniversary marathon was nothing short of awesome. I ran strong, and despite collapsing at the finish😯😃, still scored a 12-minute PB (and was 24 minutes faster than my spring marathon in April!).

Aren’t we fortunate to be able to do what we love? Running is a gift that I hope to keep enjoying for years to come.

Shout out to MTA Coach Nicole for an incredible training plan, steadfast support and keeping me on track when I wobbled! The journey was neither smooth nor easy, there was despair and doubt along the way. Pleased with a 3:53 finish (my first official sub-4) and a strong race.

First Marathon Done Through MTA Coaching

Congrats to our client David who finished his first marathon! He writes,

“With the help and support of MTA Coach Cindy I finished my 1st marathon on Sunday at the Long Beach Marathon.

I joined MTA at the beginning of the year running a number of half marathons and . . . somedays I felt like my run reports were more about what went wrong; It was too hot, or my Achilles hurt, or my stomach hurt or work was so stressful.

That said I appreciate Coach Cindy being able to turn my bad days into positive thoughts and focus on how we adjust and move forward.

I am so incredibly proud of myself and so very thankful for Coach Cindy and all of my friends and family who helped and supported me. For me it took a mountain of time and a village of support along the way. The feeling at the finish and the hugs from my family after I crossed made it all worth it.”

How to make your next marathon better than your last

Here’s a question we received from a listener to the podcast named Samantha.

Hi! I have been listening to you guys for a couple of years now and I completed my first marathon in Dec. 2023 listening to the podcast!! I heard about the Las Vegas Marathon through you guys and I am signed up and ready to go! I am quite a bit into my training and I’m wondering if the elevation change is significant enough that I need to tailor some of my training to it. If you have any quick tips to incorporate to help my second marathon go smoothly that would be very appreciated!
Thank you! -Samantha
