Ben is an incredible coach, when we had met, I literally struggled to run 2 miles. This past weekend Ben built me a path to drop 30km for my birthday and I not only completed the distance, but did it a sub 9 minute pace on a route he wrote for me and actually felt good at the end of it. This is a testament to the quality of his ability to write effective programs and support you.
