Pat Carroll’s online program was well structured and the training advice, encouragement and support were amazing. Pat is such a professional and so giving of his time. Thanks again Pat!

Thanks so much for allowing me to find my passion for running. It's come along in leaps and bounds over the past 18 months as a result of training under your awesome guidance. You're a bloody legend mate!

Following the Gold Coast Marathon, I had two goals - firstly, to finish a marathon strongly and then to be hovering closer to the three-thirties rather than the fours. Geting on board with the online programme and the PCRG sessions after the Gold Coast made both these ambitions a reality. The structure of your programme was spot on, the training advice and support thorugh emails was exceelent and the PCRG sessions invaluable, It makes me wonder why I didn't get a professional on board earlier.
