Scott

 I've been running for more than 35 years and never was able to pace well (90-second difference in my mile splits in a 5k). After working with Coach Jim, I managed to get my pacing to a consistent 7:40 per mile. My next goal is to improve my marathon pacing and get my time under 3:51. If you follow the plan, you'll see results.

I was like a headless chicken before Jim. I just kept running, mostly doing run/walk. I knew I needed structure. I wanted to improve my pace, speed, endurance and other things about running. I set a half marathon PR of 2:14 this fall beating my spring 2022 best by 24 minutes.

Jim is not only a coach, but has become a friend. The ability to have a coach that can quickly adapt your program as life events change, as well as give nutrition and pacing advice, is priceless. He has helped me through some tough times and has me looking forward to Boston.

"I am incredibly grateful for my experience working with Jim Harding. His expertly crafted marathon and triathlon training plans not only helped me break the 4-hour marathon barrier but also led me to successfully complete my first Ironman. His dedication, knowledge, and personalized approach make him an exceptional coach. He really tailored it to my busy schedule and I didn't think was possible. I highly recommend Jim Harding for anyone looking to achieve their endurance goals.

Jim took me from a 2:10 half in April to a 3:54 full in October! My previous best was a 4:43. He's a great coach and will help you crush your goals. Never thought I would run negative splits, but I did! 

Yolanda

Hiring Jim as my coach has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. I struggled with my pace after having epilepsy. Jim helped me believe I could get back to my old pace and he held me accountable. He pushed me beyond my limits.

I am looking forward to my 2024 training! 

Barb

I struggled to get started, but Jim wouldn't let me quit on myself. He got me motivated and moving. After two near misses at breaking 5 hours, I crushed Chicago with very even 5k splits and feel fantastic with my new PR of 4:49:42!

 Food for thought…
There is success in minutes and a good coach

If that isn’t amazing progress, I don’t know what is!

Halima

I have been on the program for almost three months and already see and feel a lot of progress. The combination of individual training plans, accountability, and approachability has made my experience with Coach Jim extremely pleasant and fruitful. I’m currently training for multiple marathons in 2024 and I am confident that I will continue to see huge progress!! 

Kelly

The weekly plans are super motivating and bring a lot of joy to my Type A/achiever brain!  Overall I'm super happy with the end result and how well training went! Coach pushed me to run faster then I would have, but it turns out I could do it!!

After a year of good training but bad races, I needed help. I spoke to 3 coaches but ultimately choose Jim for a few reasons: 1) I liked his honesty and approach and his vibe. 2) I liked that it was low-cost (others required $4k down and a 12-month contract), and 3) his approach of minutes vs. miles was different than anything I've

I'm feeling so good about my decision, have a new 5k PR and am running more consistently while finding more joy in my running. I'm really excited and confident!
