“After a few unsuccessful years of attempting to qualify for Boston followed by two hamstring injuries over the course of about a year and a half, I was thrilled to see that Kiersten was starting RYD. Kiersten has been instrumental in helping me come back stronger and faster. In the past 13 months, I’ve qualified for Boston twice and taken a total of 12 minutes off of my previous personal best. I’m the strongest and fastest I’ve ever been and cannot wait to see where this next year takes us.”

“Coach Kiersten was great. Her positivity and enthusiasm was infectious. Her caring for everyone in the program and helping them achieve their individual goals was clear from day one through the celebration party. And, as mentioned before, the daily training program was the best I have been through.”

“I felt supported from start to finish. This was the most prepared I have ever felt for a marathon. I felt prepared because of the speed work, the hill runs in Barrington and the fact that I was stronger and faster than I was when I started in January. My Marathon Pace went from 8:00 to 7:30. Kiersten taught me how to plan for a race, which was something I had not done prior. Because of my plan, which had to be adjusted because of the extreme weather, I ran Boston 2018 and ended with a PR. She taught me how to run smart and execute a marathon mentally that my body was fully prepared for. I cannot say enough good things about this program. I can’t wait to be a part of such a strong group of athletes again, next season.”

“Coach K played a pivotal role in getting me to where I am right now. I followed her training program religiously and watched my times progressively improve throughout the season. Coach Kiersten was very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. She impressively led a group of people who are striving to get a BQ to those who have ran the Boston Marathon countless number of times.”
