Congrats to Academy member and coaching client Parker Watson on conquering his first marathon!! 🙌
“Angie, Trevor, and Coach Henry, you were right! I do have what it takes to run a marathon and change my life!
I completed my first marathon today, Revel Rockies. And with the help of Coach Henry, I achieved my “A” goal of a sub 5 hour race with a time of 4:54:48!
The weather was perfect and the course was stunningly beautiful. I held a steady pace for the first 20 miles, got to that final push, and felt strong with no “wall” in sight. I turned on my “Release the Kraken” playlist for that last 10k and powered through for a fast finish!
I’m officially a marathoner now and I’m hooked! I’ve already signed up for the Richmond Marathon this November. Thank you for creating such an amazing community and encouraging us to do hard things! Hopefully I’ll see some MTA members at Richmond!”

Blog story by Coach Nicole Hart -Head Coach at MTA
Some people might wonder why a running coach would hire a coach, but it’s actually quite common, as coaches often seek the fresh eyes of another professional to guide them in their training.
I have made some new running goals for 2022, and I decided to hire a coach to help me achieve those goals.
Part of my job as the head coach of Marathon Training Academy is to discuss with runners why they might consider hiring a running coach.
Many people that I speak to are looking for accountability and guidance in their training. They may have had running injuries in the past, or have reached a plateau in their performance. Working with a coach can be the factor that gets them to the next level of their training, while also providing support and encouragement.
If you’ve ever wondered what it is like to work with a running coach, I hope my experience will give you some idea of what to expect. Continue Reading →
