Reviews from the 2021 CL Half Marathon Performance Training Program:

"If someone is looking for a highly customized training plan and meeting inspiring people from all backgrounds, ages, & paces, you will love this program." - Cori

I'm so grateful I decided to register for the CL Half Marathon training program. It took the guesswork out of my training each week and provided me with additional tools and education (from nutrition to mobility and cross training) that kept me healthy and injury-free. Megan coached me to a 5-minute PR, and I was so blown away by the program that I continued coaching with her. I just completed my first ultra-marathon and have never felt stronger as a runner! Regardless of the goal, I'd recommend the program to anyone who's looking to complete their next half! - Christina

"I was so happy with my experience in the half marathon training program with Megan! She helped me individualize a program that tailored to my athletic ability and needs, which was so important for my first 1/2 marathon. The program allowed me to find a supportive group of friends who were all working towards the same goal, which made it easier for me to accomplish my goal of finishing the 1/2 marathon." - Kristi

I signed up for the CL half-marathon training program with Megan in 2021. I found the entire program to be very helpful in preparing for the half and for a full marathon I was running later in the year! The program contains a ton of useful information on running technique, nutrition, stretching, psychology, etc. and Megan prepares a running schedule, actively adjusting it based on your progress and feedback each week. I highly recommend the program, especially for those who are running a half for the first time. Megan is with you the whole way through including cheering you on at the finish! - Bill
