“I can’t begin to express my appreciation for creating the College Station Running Club. It is absolutely incredible!!! I’ve ‘found’ and am now using muscles I had absolutely no idea ‘existed’. We are getting parts moved & muscles stretched in ways that I never knew possible. I actually do have abs… and I NEVER thought at my age, that I could run this fast, this far INJURY FREE! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"I am overweight, out of shape, and lack self discipline to push myself to exceed. In the running club I have the support, guidance, and motivation to run harder, faster, and further. Although I know losing weight will be a result of my hard work, my goal is to complete the Armadillo Dash in March!" - Stephani
"Before joining the CS Running Club I couldn't really imagine running more than 7 or 8 miles, much less a full marathon. With the support of the club I was able to build more speed, stamina and confidence than training on my own."
I am a mother of two, a grad student, and I work part time. For my mental and physical health, I wanted to get back into running, however I was having a hard time finding the motivation to do it on my own. I joined the club thinking I would never be able to run the CS half marathon. However, I found a group of great people at my level and we trained well together and the coaches provided great tips. Without the club, I would never have reached my goal. I finished the half marathon ahead of my goal time and I am in the best shape of my life. I also enjoy the company of the other runners and coaches. This club has been a very positive experience.
The running club coaches are such a great resource for beginning and experienced runners. I am not traditionally a runner, but Coach Cliff teaches little tricks like run shoulder-to-shoulder with someone to keep up with them instead of behind that really helped me get into the mind set of being a runner. Going into my first half-marathon, I knew that no matter my time that I had the ability to finish because I had trained with the running club. I am looking forward to improving with the club too :)
"The College Station Running Club prepared me, both mentally and physically, for success far beyond any expectations. The coaches are engaging, the workouts are interesting, and the personal help and advice provided by Coach Cliff helps you keep track of your performance and focus on achieving long-term goals. You will not regret your decision to join." -Nick
The running club is great for anyone who is a beginner, older or a return runner. The coaching, the routine of showing up and the group support are terrific motivators. I would never have done this on my own. Karen Riedel |
