Marathon Coach, marathon training plan Boston qualifier

Bobi-Rose – From Busy Life to Boston Qualifier (almost)

When Bobi-Rose came to RhodesRunner, she had just 3 months until her marathon. She was already running about 5 hours a week, but she had a big goal in mind:

Run a sub-4-hour marathon.

With only 12 weeks to go, she knew she couldn’t do it alone.

The Challenge

Bobi-Rose was no stranger to hard work. She was:

  • Working full-time
  • Studying
  • Raising a young family
  • Training 5–7 days a week
  • Often logging miles on a treadmill

Despite her packed schedule, Bobi-Rose had big ambitions and a relentless drive to improve. What she lacked wasn’t motivation—it was structure, strategy, and support.

She needed a running coach to personalise a training plan that was:

  • Proven, structured and easy to follow
  • Flexible enough to fit into her hectic life
  • Designed to optimise performance and recovery
  • Built with the insight of a coach who truly understood her goals

That’s where RhodesRunner came in.

The Transformation

With a customised plan from RhodesRunner, Bobi-Rose had everything she needed:

  • A clear roadmap to success
  • Workouts tailored to her schedule
  • Guidance to avoid injury and train smart
  • A coach to offer encouragement, feedback, and tweaks as needed

And the result?

🎯 Her goal: sub 4 hour marathon
🎉 Her result: 3:40 finish— almost hitting the Boston Qualifier for her age group!

In Bobi-Rose's Words

“Super easy to follow, great for building confidence.
Just finished my goal race and the plan Simon put together was right on point.
It challenged me but still fit around my busy life.
Highly recommend Simon if you're looking to push your running to the next level.”
