“I have been running at least one marathon per year since 2003. Despite consistent results at the half-marathon distance that would predict a sub four hour finish, I had been unsuccessful in breaking the four hour barrier. Something was missing from my training. I started getting regular massages about 6 months prior to my most recent marathon in December 2009. This is when I met John Stiner. The massages I get from John are different than any others I have received from any other therapist. With the addition of regular massages, I was able to complete more long runs than ever before and felt fresher and healthier when the race started. I was not only able to run the second half of the marathon faster than the first half, but I finished in 3 hours and 55 minutes, finally capturing that elusive sub four hour marathon and qualifying myself for the Boston Marathon. I believe this has been an integral part of my being able to finally run a marathon in under four hours, something that took me seven years and nine tries before I was successful.”
