''After discovering canicross just two years ago I fell in love with running with the dogs but given I've never been a runner, I've never been sporty so at nearly 40 I was ok with being the slow one at the back, the one who could not keep up very well but just went for the fun.
In April I did a racing weekend at Catton Hall and I would say that was my lowest point. I felt so frustrted as I was just never getting any better. I approached Cristina, I knew she was a coach and after more discussions she agreed to help me. There have been tears. She's dealt with my lows and highs but I have stuck with my program she has tailor-made for me. The results over the last 2 weeks in my age group have been amazing and shocking all rolled into one. Two years ago I did only tridog over both days and was absolutely exhausted for the week after. This time I did tridog and canicross both days whilst having an awful cold. My recovery was so much faster and I didn't feel like I was dying.
This past weekend I ran my fastest mile ever. I did have my young dog by my side but we are still working with him with regards to focus and Cristina is a wealth of avice and guidance with me on this.
I can't thank Cristina enough and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to make improvements to their running.''
