Testimonials
I
want to start out by saying I'm not an athlete. I don't like to sweat
and I haven't exercised since I hit puberty. But at age 41, with my
weight steadily rising and my self esteem plummeting, I knew I needed to
make some changes. RunnerDude's beginning running program was perfect
for me. Thad started us off slowly, set do-able goals and the end of
every run felt like a victory. By the end of the program we were running
30 minutes non-stop, something I thought I'd never do. And I"m still
running on my own today. I've lost weight, lost five inches and fit into
my clothes again. But more importantly I'm healthier and have gained
tremendous confidence. I wouldn't have done it without Thad and our
group. If I can do it, anyone can. Thanks RunnerDude!Sherri Rhyne—Greensboro, NC
As
I was approaching 50 last year, I decided to get fit and my husband
persuaded me to join Thad's beginners running group. I was not convinced
that running was for me, but it was one of the best decisions I ever
made. Thad was always very helpful and encouraging; we had a lot of fun
in our group! Over a year later, I am glad to say that I am still
running three times a week, and I owe it all to Thad! I did so well
that our daughter joined this summer and has now progressed to the
intermediate level. Thanks, Thad for helping my family on the road to
fitness.Suzanne Mercer—Greensboro, NC
Running was always something I wanted to include in my lifestyle, but I never stuck with it after the first few months. I would injure myself from not stretching properly, hydrating properly and eating poorly pre and post runs. I asked around town if there was someone I could go to learn the things I needed to begin. Thad the "Runner Dude" was the unanimous answer. So, I joined the Beginning Running group the very next week. Like many other beginner runners, I felt intimidated to be huffing and puffing along-side a professional runner. But it ended up being the best decision I've made in a long time. Thad is one of the nicest people I have ever met. He encourages and provides the knowledge you need to take the necessary steps to accomplish what I thought was so out of reach. Not only was Thad encouraging, but there was a special connection within the group. This was the best formula for me! I still run to this day with the friends I've made from Thad's running groups. There's nothing like the accomplishment of completing a run that seemed so unobtainable 3 months earlier. Thank you, Thad and to my wonderful running friends!
