Training Clinic Testimonials

I’ve done many running clinics before at a different store, but after making the leap to the Runner’s Den it has been an incredible, life-changing experience. My pace has increased well beyond I could ever imagine, by proper, ‘smart’ training. Extremely informative weekly emails are sent every Sunday outlining the game plan for the week, which are modified to every type of running ability. Not only does Jordan come up with exciting and challenging workouts, he’s very encouraging, knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to improve your running ability, and to stay focused and motivated towards your goals.”

“Fantastic running clinic! Everyone was super welcoming and having runners of all abilities made it really motivating to get out and run (especially on those cold snowy days in the winter!), it also was encouraging to see the group posting on Strava and following along with everyone. The run leaders did a great job and the weekly e-mails provided were very informative and kept the clinic moving along smoothly! I would highly recommend runners of all abilities, it's a really great group of people.”

I am thrilled to share my incredible experience with Coach Michelle and the running clinic at The Runner's Den. Through Michelle’s 12-week program, I transitioned from struggling to run for even 2 minutes to successfully completing my first half marathon at the Road2Hope.

Throughout the program Coach Michelle adjusted our weekly runs to perfectly suit each person’s goals and abilities, making it such a pleasure to show up and run with the group each week.

One of the most remarkable aspects of my experience was the sense of community fostered by The Runner's Den. What sets Coach Michelle apart is her ability to make everyone, regardless of their running background, feel comfortable and supported.

Coach Michelle’s expertise, genuine care for her athletes, and the community she fosters make for an unparalleled training journey that makes it easy to achieve your goals!

I had never run a race before and the Around the Bay clinic made me feel confident and prepared to run the 30k after joining the 12 week clinic. The programming is challenging while still suited for each individual runners’ abilities. I gained a ton of knowledge about proper fuelling, pacing, and recovery. The group is so positive and motivating which helps get me out the door for those winter training runs.

Michelle is by far the best running coach out there! She is so motivating and inspiring. I will never forget her running me through the finish line after my first ever Around the Bay race! Truly could not have done it without her. It’s all because of Michelle that I’m able to run all kinds of races I never thought I’d be able to! I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle’s expertise to anyone looking to elevate their running journey.

Chelsa

I am so grateful for the Runner’s Den training program! Michelle ensures every person of every ability is seen and included. Michelle constructs weekly plans for beginners, intermediate and advanced runners. I really appreciate her pep talks before our runs and her advice and helpful tips when it came to properly fueling my body for long runs or finding shoes that were a best fit for me. I also loved that she not only did the planning but would come out to run with us and offer support along the way! I was able to properly train for the Around the Bay race last year and was able to meet all my goals. I will continue to participate in the Runner’s Den clinics for not only the mentorship, but the amazing group morale Michelle has fostered. I would highly recommend the Runner’s Den clinics to anyone in any part of their running journey.
