Hi Helen,
Thanks for all the time, effort and knowledge you’ve given us, has been fab and invaluable to me thanks.
Loved Saturday, and loved getting coached!
Quick update for you already, I ran the Henley ½ marathon yesterday (could feel my glutes and hams from Sat!) and did a 1.49 which was only a min slower than my PB from a flat course last year, and Henley has a monster hill and lots of crossing between path, grass and mud. It’s a 500m hill climb in just under a mile (at mile 
then descends like that too. And more importantly no cuboid pain, no calf pain, no blisters and just a bit of an ache in hamstrings and glutes today J
Went out for a bit of a lazy explore run with the dog today to loosen up between sessions and felt good!
Thanks Again
Anna P

Hi Helen!
You probably missed my thanks on inov-8′s Facebook page so I’ll repeat what I said there. Thank you for your enthusiasm, knowledge and encouragement. Simon said that I struck him as a thoughtful runner and you’ve certainly given me lots to think about.
All the best,
Rich L

Helen,
You are my running goddess! I never thought I’d be at the point where I am right now of desperately wanting to go out for a run…
I feel that with a little more practice and training I will now be able to enjoy and smash the marathon on my next ironman and its all thanks to you.
I would love to meet again for you to comment on my progress and offer anymore of your fabulous coaching tit-bits.
Just got back from my usual 5k and feel fantastic and went quicker than previous runs… Whoo hoo.
Alright, gushing over and done with.
So thanks again, and I will be in touch again.
Happy running (I know I will be)
Warren D

Thanks for this lovely email, Helen. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to train under your guidance and have to say I find you something of an inspiration through your own achievements and the enthusiasm that shines through from your coaching methods. I would very much like to take up regular coaching sessions with you in the near future as I reckon you’re just the person who can help me achieve my goal of running a 100 mile race before the end of my 40th year.
Despite my Mortons Foot playing up (it’s the first time I have ever been aware of it), I am chuffed to bits to have completed the 15k trail run in the Lakes the other week, in zero drop shoes, finishing free of pain other than achy run-legs. It’s the longest distance I have run in one go.
As for another track session with the rest of the Inov-8 posse – I say ‘yay!’
Best wishes
Tim P.

Morning Helen,
Last night I was supposed to go for a quick mtb but when it started raining I decided I couldn’t be dealing with riding and having to clean my bike down (again!), so with the release of your album I decided to don my vivo’s and get running. Absolutely love Album 3. During the first 15 mins of walk warm up I can literally feel the tension in my body flow away – it’s amazing. Did a wonderful trail run, extended from my regular run which fitted in with Album 2, and it just felt great, especially the ‘power on’ part. Can’t believe I can now run for over an hour with no aches or pains in my hips – fantastic. The music is stunning and the white horse tribute is so touching – that was very sad news. Also, being an Engineer, I so appreciate the proper biomechanical and scientific explanations you give – I always try and teach my classes with this scientific approach too – it makes such a difference actually understanding the forces/motions at play….
Anyway, thank you for providing these amazing albums and for helping me with this amazing running journey. I still have lots to improve on and I can’t wait for the hill running stage – will be very useful as I struggle to find any flat areas where I live in the stunning Chiltern Hills!
See you soon
J.S.

Just wanted to let you know I did my first run today using all your advice. (This will sound pathetic to you, but is good for me) I did 7.5k without stopping, steady pace, better pace than usually do even though it felt slower, and did it with ease. Really good start, can’t wait to keep putting it into practice with greater distances too.

Thanks Helen – I did enjoy the fitting session and it was really quite astounding how things built up to the ‘revelationary’ moments.
As for La Marmotte – I completed a very long day out in the sun, clear blue skies and glorious scenery. A real challenge for any cyclist. Certainly the change of saddle was much easier on the bottom and no problems with the interim changes to seat positioning; so all good stuff so far.
Now need to save a few pennies to complete the fitting, especially for the new crank length!
See you soon and thanks again,
Nigel

Dear Helen,
Thank you so much for helping me on Saturday and for the clear recap (I’m can be a terrible goldfish, it’s a real help). As well as finding out what was going on and putting a fix in place, I learned a lot and not just about feet, but backs too! (not to mention how to not ruck yer tape)
I’m pleased to report that the left calf is improving daily, there was a marked difference this morning. I think mooching around the house barefoot on Sunday helped (I was planning to head to central London and would have been standing around for some time, but decided not to).
I will let you know how it goes. Hopefully I’ll be joining in with a Penguin or ER session soon! It will be interesting to see if there are changes in running ankle-relaxedness as a result of the taping, and I’m gagging to get on the bike to see what difference the tape makes there.
Thanks again for providing such a wonderful service; part diagnosis, part biomechanics lesson!

Hi Helen,
Thank you very much for the bike fit today. It was a very illuminating experience and I can’t wait to get out on the road in my Tri position, so thank you for showing me the path to cycling efficiency.
I’ll get onto Slowtwitch and put a well deserved good review on there.
Have a good weekend, thanks once again.
Cheers, John Magee
