The numbers speak for themselves, showing proven
results.
In 2003, 36% of participants that raced bested their personal record
for an average improvement of over 12 minutes each.
In 2002, four of 16 participants were first time marathoners.
Five of the runners broke their personal records by a combined 158
minutes (that's an average
improvement of over 31 minutes each!).
In 2001, 17 of
19 bested their PR for a combined improvement of over 9 hours or on
average over 31 minutes each.
Coach Murphy has also recently been very successful utilizing her
training program with a win in the inaugural 2004 More Marathon and a
top 15 woman's finish in the 2004 Dublin City Marathon.

"I sought Marie out because I needed to regain my fitness level, having become
sedentary over the past couple of years. Through her training I went from being
completely sedentary in June 2002, to finishing the Dublin City Marathon in
October 2002." -- Catherine Carpenter, Ph.D., M.P.H. - Assistant Professor of
Medicine, UCLA
"I have worked with Marie Murphy as a personal trainer for close to a decade.
During that period, she has taken me from a one to two mile runner to an
enthusiastic marathoner with a well-rounded base of support activities,
including track work, biomechanics and weight training. At the same time, she
has helped me improve my nutrition and overall well-being. And all of this has
been accomplished in a manner consistent with my schedule, which involves long
work days and constant business travel."
-- Penelope Foley, Managing Director, TCW
"Chicago was my first marathon, and Coach Murphy helped to make it a life
changing experience. I hadn't run consistently in years, and with Coach
Murphy's program I was ready to compete in 21 weeks. The training program
was awesome and doesn't require running everyday, like many others. I completed
the marathon with no problems or injuries, and wasn't even sore after one day.
It was such a great experience I decided to sign-up again and run the Dublin
City Marathon this year. If I can do it anyone can, especially with a
coach like Coach Murphy."
-- Beth Medina - Program Director, Dress for Success |
