Client Testimonials

Lizzie and I planned my BYU together, with the aim of completing 15 laps at a consistent pace while testing new fuelling and race strategies. Before the race, we went through the plan in detail, including food and water intake for each hour, as well as the mental barriers and strategies for staying focused. The plan worked perfectly, with consistent laps throughout. I also experimented with a couple of faster laps, which worked really well. Lizzie’s advice on fuelling and kit was invaluable and helped the whole run feel calm and controlled. We had a great debrief afterwards, reflecting on what worked and what I can take forward into future races.
