no advise is better than bad advise

PARC's Thursday sessions bring a structured way to sharpen my running form and efficiency. The coaching is well planned to build up safely and sustainably towards my training targets, and the progress has been measured. In the last 6 months, I've managed to achieve multiple breakthroughs, despite some conditioning to running through my main sport, tennis, over many years. Not only have I been able to run with less effort, I have also managed to refresh PRs at every distance from the mile to the HM. The improved endurance and speed have also translated to tennis, helping me stay sharp in extended rallies and better cover the court.

Doing the running workouts every Thursday with Pro Athletic Run Club led by Joshua has been a game-changer for my running. The drills including strides have improved my running form and I am slowly getting towards breaking a PR in the marathon. Training is specific for the distance you are racing and the pace you want to run at. The running community there is also friendly, motivational and fun. It does’nt hurt that strava keeps saying I’m breaking PRs too!

I used to run without a program — just clocking 5 to 10km each time, hoping it would somehow improve my running. But joining the Thursday run sessions completely changed that. The structured training gave purpose to every run and helped build up properly towards race day. I’ve seen an improvement in my pace. Huge thanks to Coach Josh, who leads by example and actually paces the different groups during each session. And of course, the electrolytes from Pronutrition were a nice boost every week. All thanks to Aamir who prepares it before the session every week. It’s more than just training at PARC, it’s a supportive, motivating community that keeps you going.

I love running with PARC. It’s the highlight of my week, every Thursday. It’s a close knitted community and everyone is always so friendly and welcoming. I joined PARC because of a friend, and we’ve since committed our Thursdays to attending the runs. The structured programs have given me a chance to track my progress and I’ve definitely seen improvements. I used to think I could not sustain a sub 6minute pace but training with PARC has proven me wrong. Running is always a work in progress and Coach Josh is a man who leads by example, putting in the hard work day in day out. The supplements and hydration provided by ProNutrition are also added perks for pre and post run! I will continue to grind hard and hopefully better my timings in time to come.
