Sarah Mannell
First42K has helped me become a better runner. It's made me more accountable to my training, and I've loved being a part of the First42K Community.
Olivia Rundle
In the beginning, I was rather intimidated by running… and now I love it. First42K corrected my running technique, It showed me how far I could actually run to begin with, but then it supported me and drove me to go further. I can now run larger distances and I have a great time doing it. There are a lot of tips and tricks for how to run well and run further on the internet, but the one thing that's really invaluable is the community and the camaraderie that you get from First42K. There's always someone there supporting you and inspiring you to go further. It also adds that element of accountability which is absolutely invaluable if you want to push yourself and achieve more. If you're thinking of taking up running or getting back into running, I would highly recommend First42K. What have you got to lose?

First42K has helped me become a more efficient and focused runner, with the consistent training plans and variety of training including strength and interval training, and it has helped me achieve my first ever marathon time, which was a sub- four-hour marathon.
