January 21st 2010 - Just a note to tell you that I finally broke 2 hours for half marathon, finished the Arizona Rock'n'Roll Half Marathon in 1:58:56 and 51st out of 292 in my age division (60-64) and 61.5% in that age-adjusted performance level (I forget the formal name for this statistic). The NPR really helped, although ironically I encountered a problem of having to rein in my speed in the early going. It seemed too easy to go faster than I wanted. Had to find just the right angle of lean. When tired and slowing I just increased the lean a bit and I was back on target again. Thanks again for you help. Will contact you when we return from Arizona. Hope your training is going well!

March 28th 2010 - I had to run right after the video analysis yesterday so I didn't get a chance to say thank you for putting on this clinic. I found it to be an excellent experience and would recommend it to anyone looking to improve their running performance. Before NPR I would just go out and run and it was always laboured. Now I go out thinking about the techniques and am amazed with the results and at how easy it is. Today I did a 22k run at an average pace of 5min/km and felt great throughout. Two months ago I would not have been able to do this! Also, I would like to thank Syl and Cal for sharing their expertise. I found Syl's coaching and Cal's thorough analysis to be very beneficial. Could you please forward this message onto them to let them know how much I appreciate their role in the clinic.
Best regards,
Jamie

April 11th 2010 - Thanks a lot Helly, Roger, Syl and Cal.
The clinic was great. Although I think I need a refresh already, I was able to knock almost 2 minutes off my 10K time between Paddy's and the icebreaker. With my new form and some training I can probably get another minute (and 5 years) off this summer.

April 12th 2010. Since the past few weeks attending the clinic, I have been trying to put the advice I learned into place. I went for a run on a 20km run on Sunday and my body the whole time wanted to run anywhere in between 6:45 to 7:15 per km. This is a great improvement over my last times, I'm definitely easily two minutes faster per kilometer. The only question I have for you: Even though my form is faster, my energy levels are not there yet to sustain that speed for long periods. Any advice?
Thanks for all the help!

April 12th 2010 - Hi everyone.
I as well would like to report some great progress with my running after the NP clinic. My good friend Rick Hubka initially told me about it several years ago, but I had only dabbled with it a few times. I'm seeing improved speeds in my speedwork, yet not feeling nearly as fatigued. I am stretching the heck out of myself trying to work on my non-existent flexibility (legs, hips, etc)! Early season races coming up will be the true test; Policeman's and Red Deer full.
Thanks for everything!

April 13th 2010. I've been running much longer distances, and made significant speed gains with less effort.
I thought the clinic would help, but I'm pleasantly surprised what a huge difference it has made.
Thanks

April 18th 2010 - Hi Every One, Just ran my first race since the Clinic and I put all new techniques to work and they really worked. Ever Time I felt my strides getting too big, I shortened them up and could feel my speed pick up. Today I got my first "GOLD MEDAL" in the 15k (Spring Trio) I did it in 1 hour and 19 minutes. I was Thrilled.
Thanks for everything.
