A multiple-time Boston Marathon qualifier and competitive Master’s athlete, Claire started running simply to get in shape for her high school reunion. The reunion came and went and she kept running.Claire finished her first marathon at age 38 in a respectable 4:02 and was immediately hooked. She became a student of the marathon using Jeff Gaudette’s training philosophy and RunnersConnect coaching. In less than four years, she successfully shaved over 30 minutes off her half marathon time and lowered her marathon PR to 2:58, remarkably without injury.“Running has changed my life and RunnersConnect coaching has made all the difference in my success. As a coach, I am passionate about sharing the tools and techniques I have learned at Runners Connect to help our athletes reach goals they never thought possible.”
