At 45, I was overweight and couldn&#8217;t even jog to the end of my street without gasping for air. Armstrong believed in me when I didn&#8217;t believe in myself. He started me with gentle walk-run intervals and slowly built my confidence. The transformation was incredible &#8211; not just physically, but mentally too. Eighteen months later, I crossed the finish line of the Melbourne Marathon in tears of joy. Armstrong was there cheering me on, and I&#8217;ll never forget that moment. Running saved my life, and Armstrong made it possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n                <p class=\"fn-running-coach-slider-001__reviewer\">&#8211; Sarah M., 45, Melbourne Marathon Finisher<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"fn-running-coach-slider-001__item fn-running-coach-slider-001__item--medium\">\n                <p class=\"fn-running-coach-slider-001__stars\">\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/p>\n                <p class=\"fn-running-coach-slider-001__text\">&#8220;AMAZING RESULTS! My 5K time dropped from 28 minutes to 19:45 in just 6 months. Armstrong&#8217;s speed training is next level &#8211; the interval sessions are tough but so effective. I&#8217;m now competitive in my age group and loving every race. The technique improvements alone made me feel like a completely different runner. Can&#8217;t recommend highly enough!&#8221;<\/p>\n                <p class=\"fn-running-coach-slider-001__reviewer\">&#8211; Jake T., 32, Competitive Runner<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"fn-running-coach-slider-001__item fn-running-coach-slider-001__item--short\">\n                <p class=\"fn-running-coach-slider-001__stars\">\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/p>\n                <p class=\"fn-running-coach-slider-001__text\">&#8220;Excellent coaching methodology.
