Runner stories
From runners’ end-of-season surveys, about the volunteer coaches who got them to the start line.
“15 / 10 points for my coach Nayana. She is amazing at the running craft, and even more importantly making personal connects with the group. How can one be so positive and supportive ? Hats off to her.”
“This was 6 season with RHWB and my first season with coach Bobby. I noticed a lot of improvement in the quality of my running this season. During the warm up weeks, Coach Bobby constantly reminded me to watch my HR and adjust the pace to stay in the aerobic zone. As I mastered that skill he encouraged me to slowly work on the cadence. The constant encouragement and disciplined approach helped me improve my stats and enjoy the process. The instant feedback and thoughtful insights on every run made an incredible impact. Thank you, Coach!”
“I want to express my deepest gratitude for everything Coach Manoj has done to support my running journey. His meticulous planning and sharp attention to detail has transformed the way I train and race. From structuring exact workout blocks to crafting precise, mile-by-mile race strategies, his guidance has given me complete confidence every time I step up to the starting line. Thank you for the unwavering support, continuous encouragement, and constant belief in my potential. I truly couldn't have achieved these milestones without his mentorship.”
“Coach Sujaa is amazing! So thankful for her insight, her energy, her congeniality and most importantly her time. I have truly felt I am learning the basics of running now. Thanks for everything coach! Many thanks to the organization, for running this so well. All your time dedicated to this cause is much appreciated.”
“I absolutely loved coaching with Saurabh for past 2 years. He had encouraged me, pushed me and supported me when I had a setback in my running. He always gives suggestions and guides me when I have setbacks. Glad to be part of Coach Saurabh’s cohort.”
“My coach, Hima is an inspiration! Not sure how she keeps up with a full time job and full time coaching with responses and feedback minutes after FS updates. I would highly recommend her to any beginner.”
