I found Heather through her FOLF Hollywood Half Marathon Living Social deal - lucky me!!!! I have done a few triathlons but always HATED the run and had pretty much decided my body was just not built for it. Thanks to Heather and FOLF, I was not only able to run 13.1 miles, I did it in 2 hours and 21 minutes! Even though we were working in a group, she focused on our individual running forms and gave us all corrections that would allow us to run safely and minimize injury. She was always available for questions and could always answer them!!! Heather is very educated and really knows what she's doing, but she has an amazing way of explaining things so simply that I really felt like I understood what was happening to my body and WHY. I woke up on race day feeling SO prepared and knew exactly what to expect. Obviously the physical benefits are nothing to sniff at, either - I am stronger, have more energy, and had to buy a smaller swimsuit for this summer. :) Not to mention I'm doing two more halfs this year and contemplating my first full marathon!
The best things about Heather are her passion for what she does, her vast knowledge of fitness and the human body, and her love for helping people. It's like she's opening a giant birthday present every time one of her clients succeeds. Her energy is contagious - you can't be around her and not feel like you can achieve whatever you want! Don't think twice about joining FOLF - don't even think once - just get on it!
