Jack Daniels Training Plan customer Sarah Claire Ahlers set a new PR in her first race on the schedule! While following her 5k schedule she raced a road mile last week and finished in 6:30. This was almost a one minute improvement from her 7:28 performance on the track last year!

“I ran without a watch and when I got close enough for the clock to come into focus I could barely believe it,” said Sarah.  “Oh Boy, my lungs!  Do they always feel raw like that when you run hard?  Anyway, I’m thrilled!”

The best part of our training plan service is seeing how Jack’s training inspires runners of all levels by getting them to a level they never imagined themselves reaching. To put Sarah’s accomplishment into perspective it’s like going from a 4:05 marathoner to a sub-3:30 marathoner in one year. Boom. She’s a completely different runner now.
