word on the street
“Running with Charm City - and specifically Coach Jeff Burger - has helped me tap into my potential as a runner. I started running four years ago to challenge myself with something new and now running has become a big part of who I am. I've worked with Jeff for over three years and he's pushed me to continue to improve as a runner - getting me to run faster and better. Jeff is very knowledgeable about training and racing - I've also gained a deep understanding about training principles and approaches from Jeff that helps me enjoy the process as much as the outcomes.”
- David, 3x Marathoner (2 Boston Qualifiers)
“Prior to working with Jeff through CCR’s virtual training I had primarily trained myself, but had previously worked with two coaches that didn’t quite produce the results that I was looking for. After having finished 43 marathons and 20 + ultramarathons ranging in distance from 50k up to 100 miles, I had convinced myself that I had already peaked. I was defeated and felt that marathon PR’s were in the rearview mirror, giving up on the goal of a sub three-hour marathon. However, after speaking with Jeff and giving him a chance at helping me turn things around I noticed results in the first month. I am now noticing gains and my confidence is at an all-time high. I literally went from giving up on my goal to feeling energized and inspired in one month. Would I recommend working with Jeff – Absolutely!” - Matt
