I feel like my love for running has been renewed through Julie’s programming, which is why I’ve continued to work with them after those marathons. I highly recommend Run Farther & Faster’s services to anyone looking to improve their running performance. 10/10!

Working with Lisa & Julie has been one of the most transformative experiences of my running journey. Her insights into proper fueling strategies and mobility exercises have not only improved my performance but have also helped me develop a deeper understanding of my own body and its needs.
