Testimonials"This was the most awesome experience. I am stronger, more knowledgable. and confident as a runner. This experience will last me a lifetime!" "I had really reached a plateau in my running and needed a venue where I could learn how to improve while remaining injury-free and find new motivation for running. The coachig staff at Active at Altitude provided a holistic experience taht was exactly what I needed to return home with a revised action plan for training in a healthy way both lhystcially and mentally" "I put so many fears aside, and learned so much about myslef. my running, and loving life. The people were the best, and Terry and Jacqui made you feel totally comfortable and loved. I learned I am a BADASS!" "Led by Terry, a group of women, who, for the most part, met each other for the first time at the camp, magically gelled into a family that cultivated the strength in each of us. I left this camp feeling stronger as a runner and as a woman than I ever have. I continue to feel nourished by my memories of this camp. Thank you to Terry, Angelina, Melody, and all the women I had the privilege of running with for such an empowering experience." "Overall this was an incredible experience & worth every minute of the long flights...I found the filming and reviewing of me running the most informative, especially since I haven't ever had a running coach. " 'This was a running camp, with so much more! Spending a week with fabulous women, running, cross-training and laughing was a great way to recharge from my everyday activities!" "The camp was exactly what I needed at this point in my life! It helped me to find myself and bring clarity to my life, as well as revisit my goals and reconnect with my running. Thank you for all the support & encouragement! I will be back." "I gained many life tools over the past week, in addition to improving my running. I now have a support group that I trust to hold me accountable and give me honest feedback. Thank you ladies & Terry!" "Running camp has been an exceptional experience...I've experienced different types of running , and new ideas for cross training, while building the courage to set down my goals on paper, and building realistic plans to meet them. Thank you so much Terry and the running camp team!" "I arrived hoping to have a week of running instruction and fitness training, not really knowing what to expect. The setting was perfect and the week was full of a great variety of training and exercise sessions tailored extremely well to the level of all the participants. The camaraderie was wonderful and the entire experience was even better than I had hoped for. " "Even though the altitude was a challenge, the encouragement from Terry, Melody, Nancy and Jacqui was amazing! I would not have improved and achieved my goals from the camp without them! "Just wanted to let you know how things are going with my running. I took your advice and have been running at a conversational pace for the past 2 weeks. To my surprise the faster I went the better it felt and I was in complete disbelief. It felt so amazingly effortless. I was able to go significantly faster with much less work output. I feel this could be a turning point in my training and that I am reaping the benefits of high altitude training. Thanks, Rosa" "Active at Altitude offers breathtaking views, professional sports education, and wonderful hospitality to inspire you as a runner and heal you as a person. Thank you Terry and Angelina for a wonderful week." “I had a blast! It was a very indulgent week for me to do nothing but run, sleep, and eat (oh, yeah, and shop!)” ""Maybe you've doubted you're a runner. Maybe you're worried you can't keep up with a pack. Or, just maybe, you've never allowed yourself the time to truly indulge in running. I struggled with all three of those things before attending a women's running camp at Active at Altitude. I left renewed; with a stronger sense of myself, an amazing group of friends, and a new passion to run strong." |
