What Members are Saying

Thanks to Angie’s guidance and support, I was able to complete 3 marathons in 3 months AND also get a PR on the last of the 3 races. Thank you Angie and MTA! -Jabus H.

Shout out to Angie Danzer Spencer for helping me meet my goal of finishing a marathon feeling good rather than hurting! A one hour 10 minute PR — huge icing on the cake — that I can eat now that I have burned all of those calories! -Sharon W.

I RAN the entire 26.2 miles and finished strong. Every one of you allowed me to achieve this accomplishment 10 months after I quit smoking, 9 months after I began running, many years after I chose to be alive. -Gary T.

“Many thanks to Coach Dominique for the guidance I needed to successfully score a massive PR of over 6 minutes and a BQ as well. . . . I ran steadily and hard all the way to the finish and crossed the line at 3:18:47.” -Bill D.

I shaved off 37 minutes from my PR and last marathon with MTA coach Lynn’s guidance. Onto the next race! -Megan M.

I wanted to thank you both from the bottom of my heart for starting the Academy and online community. You guys helped a physically broken and down-and-out gal finished a marathon the way I always wanted to, healthy and happy. Thank you again! -Emily H.
