There is an added value with this program, actually the community and the sharing experiences.
We're all very encouraging of each other and supportive, and I think that, that goes a long way.
I'm learning a lot from people that, that are within this community, even like watching their runs. For example, me, it will give me hope, like, okay, so I can do it also, I can prepare like this. Being able to study what they do and have a little bit of a dialogue with them as you go along as well.
Being able to troubleshoot the approach not only with Floris but with so many people in the PR program community, whether that's through Strava or Facebook or the coaching calls.
I'm very thankful to be here and to have a bunch of people who are very supportive.
What's funny is you would think people who are educated like you and me and a lot of your, a lot of your members, you think, oh well, you know, we can, we can figure that out ourselves. Well, we can't sometimes because we're so driven and we're so like, everything's got to be hard.
And also what I find also very interesting and that keeps me motivated is the Strava group. And I see where I am with the weekly mileage.
I love the group. I'm glad I became part of it.
A group of experts who's willing to kind of troubleshoot and share ideas, work together to achieve the best race possible.
