Girls Run The World Avis 

Excellent course. Perfect daily structure, really varied and well-planned. The pointers on technique were superb. Was bored with running the same route at the beginning of lockdown and not only did this course revive my interest but improved my technique and therefore my speed. Perfect.

I recently did the 'Race shape challenge', and would definitely recommend. Varied workouts, clearly presented, and I knocked 5 minutes off my PB.

When I saw this course advertised it seemed ideal as my running club has not been meeting. It was with some trepidation that I signed up as I really don't like online/video courses but I thought "why not?" From the beginning I found it really good with a good variety of sessions introducing me to new ideas to help my running which I will continue to use. Core training and yoga as well as running added variety and we even had a couple of treat days. The chat on the Facebook page was also so helpful to "meet" with lots of other participants. And it worked!! My 5k time at the end of the month was the fastest I had run for well over a year! Thank you "Girls Run The World"

The course was excellent - it provided clear instructions for running and yoga workouts which gave me something to focus on with my running throughout the month. I also learnt a lot about technique. I normally can't run as fast by myself as I can at a parkrun or a race but by the end of the course I was running 5k by myself in around the same time I can normally run a parkrun so I definitely saw an improvement in my speed and technique. I would definitely recommend this course to others.

Excellent detailed daily structure. Everything carefully explained. Enjoyed the course, fantastic to have it during lockdown.

I’ve just completed the 30 day race shape challenge. It was a mixture of technique, strength, intervals and easy runs. I followed it very closely, day but day. Rachel put some much into providing advice and everything including food choice. I dipped into ‘girls run the world‘ free sessions on fb at 7am which are excellent. I’m a reasonable runner (Plodding between 5-10k on most runs) and in the month I shaved a 30 seconds off my 5k time but developed consistency and didn’t feel like I was dying at the end. The biggest thing for me was going out doing 10K a couple of days later and shaving 2 1/2 minutes off any recent time. That shows how much the technique and strength work was paying off. Solid, useful approach to training, I’m signed up for the 10k running course next.

The GRTW 30 Day Race Shape Challenge helped me achieve my elusive under 30min 5k time having been stuck at 32-34mins for a while, couldn’t be happier. The course structure is great at keeping you interested and motivated.

Just completed the 30 day Race Shape course which I thoroughly enjoyed. Every day was varied building in different types of runs, working on running techniques, strength and conditioning and yoga. Have learnt so much from this course and it has massively improved both my running style and pacing. Have already signed up for the next one and can’t wait

Loved the course. Refound my mojo, made running interesting and fun again. Thank you!

This was an excellent course. I learnt more about technique in 30 days than I have in 4 years of running with a club. I have got my mojo back!

Thanks for helping me stay motivated for the last 30 days during. Lockdown; have definitely found y running mojo again. Smashed by 5k PB!

Just finished a 30 day Race shape course. It has been a great program that has encouraged me to get out running during this lockdown, the advice and training plans have been spot on and I have run my first 5 k under 30 mins. Ive ran for 4 years and can honestly say this is the most improvement I have ever seen in my running.

This course encouraged me to get back into running and enjoyed every bit of it

I have been really enjoying the GRTW Live online. I am a runner and normally don't have much time for strength work so it has been really good for me to do the sessions in the morning. The workouts are varied, guidance is given on how to do each exercise properly and helpful feedback is given.

Utterly brilliant, honest and will tell you straight as to what you need to do in terms of training and what the realistic goals are rather than just playing to what you want to hear.
Very encouraging but equally able to communicate areas for improvement without making me feel inadequate! I function better when exercising on my own, without worrying about keeping up with others and not being tied down to a specific time/ day which is difficult with shift work and childcare. Hence online coaching with clear accountability (through TrainingPeaks) works really well for me.

GRTW is all about empowering women to find and set their own goals around running.
