| Former 101/201/Speed Class Members Say . .
. |
The following comments were given on the end-of-class evaluation form by participants in
the Running 101, Running 201, and Speed Classes when we asked them what they liked best
about their class.
- That it slowed me down to ultimately give me better results. I was running too fast
before, and got too tired and quit.
- I like the drills...I would never run hills, tempo, etc on my own. Also, like
discussions about form
- Watching my speed increase. Running in the rain on Monday. I was a 5 year old all over
again.
- Getting myself into a scheduled routine of exercising, meeting new friends, running in the
5K on St. Patrick's Day. My coach encouraged me to run so I went for it. It was a challenge,
but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The coaches were very helpful in seeing that all the girls were
on task, but also having fun doing it.
- Feeling better, sleeping better, and met some really nice people.
- The small groups and personal attention from the coach. Seeing myself make progress each
class
- The camaraderie of the group made it more fun that I thought possible. The coach made a
big difference in what I was able to accomplish.
- Jean and Lisa are both wonderful coaches. I started out as just a walker 12 weeks ago and
now I can run a mile without stopping to walk. With their motivation and guidence I have
reached my short term goal.
- Coaches were great and challenged me, but at my level.
- The flexibility to move up or back, without any difficulty. Even if you are struggling in
the beginning, the coach always gives encouragement, which makes me keep pushing.
- The emphasis on making it a fun experience.
- Coaches were very good at assisting each runner based on their level. Faster/more
experienced runners weren't made to slow down, and slower/new runners weren't pushed beyond
their limits.
- Each week I was pushed a little farther and it gave me a since of accomplishment. My group
was fun and talkative which made the time go by faster. It was a great class!
- Information presented to us by our coaches and the one on one time they gave us when
needed to answer questions
- Instruction and encouragement from the coaches. Bernie is a great motivator that provides
practical tips and corrective instruction on proper running technique. She is cognizant of
individual needs -- not just a standard script for all runners.
- It educated me on safe and effective running and it has helped me to love running!
