Girls Run The World Anmeldelser 

The August Alps Ultra Virtual challenge was the most recent GRTW challenge that I’ve taken part in. I loved getting a rhythm back to my running routine, having the support and encouragement to get back out on the trails and being part of the GRTW running community – the reports and pictures were inspiring!

Love Girls Run The World - as a pretty much non-runner pre-lockdown, I’ve just taken part in the August Alps challenge. Although I didn’t complete the whole distance it did get me out of pavement pounding and onto trails which I just love! Great community spirit, expert advice and I’m very impressed with their values and ethics. Highly recommend!

I tried to join the free virtual ultra alps challenge for August. I registered online and got the confirmation that I'd entered and instructions to join the facebook group and Strava group. But I was never accepted into either of them despite emailing the organiser to chase it. It was a free event so I can't really complain, but was disappointed and it would make me hesitant to hand over any money for a future event.

Follow up; thanks for the response. It was a bit confusing as I did the email confirming I was entered. I watched a couple of the videos, but the sound was so poor I was struggling to hear them so didn't carry on. Fair point about the closing date though - I did see that afterwards, but thought the fact I had a confirmation email meant I was in. Have upgraded my score slightly based on your reply.

This is my third Girls Run the World Course - Alpine Challenge. I loved it - really inspired me to go out of my comfort zone.
So much good advice - did my first off road half marathon as part of it and I’ve been running a long time now! Gave me confidence to do it
Well done Girls Run The World Team

I'm becoming a bit of a GRtW addict. Started with Daily Dose of Yoga and have progressed through 30 Day Race Shape Challenge, Smash your 10k PB to the Virtual Ultra Alps. Love, love, love their courses and challenges. Have recommended to lots of friends who are all now fans. The courses, particularly are fabulous - the sense of camaraderie via the Facebook group makes you feel part of a "team" & really help to keep focus. I finished the 10k course a month ago and I'm still reaping the benefits with both 5 & 10k PBs every time I go out!!

I loved doing both the 5k and 10k courses. So motivating, and really pushed me in positive ways! I never felt out of my depth or like I was failing or not good enough - as the workouts and runs were inclusive and straightforward - but was definitely encouraged to come out of my comfort zone safely. I feel faster and stronger and am eager to do another course. Definitely worth the money.

This is my second course with GRTW Did this course even though I had never ran a 10k before. Plenty of online support from GRTW team and the other participants. It was hard going but made all the more enjoyable whe I ran my first 10k. I can redo this corse at anytime. Well worth the money.

I have undertaken the 5k race shape 30 day program and smash your 10k 30 day program. Excellent mix of running sessions (which has got me out of the habit of plodding round the same route!) a good amount of tips and drills to improve running technique, gives you food for thought and little gems to practice. Ultimately, it worked for me In a busy schedule as I could do the sessions when it suited I just had to do the right session on the scheduled day(busy working mum, homeschooling two kids!) it has been a sanity saver to just plug the sessions into my garmin and not think about what I should do (you don’t have to own a watch to take part but it is like having a trainer on your wrist) very much enjoyed the short snappy core and strength sessions, so short there is no excuse not to fit them in. Smashed my 5k and 10k PB but do you know what the actual course and online support was a great source to keep me motivated whilst in lockdown. Highly recommend GRTW whether you are a recreational runner like me or an athlete focussing on a race/event.

30 day challenge

This course was perfect for me. I needed a focus to get me out of the house and some discipline to go out running. I wanted to improve and with the mixture of running, interval training, yoga and good technique advice I did get better. The course content was varied and challenging and great for someone like me who will never be speedy but tries hard. Great to be part of a community again

I’ve done a few of the GRTW courses (race shape, Queens of Speed, strength for marathoners and 121 coaching) and they were all brilliant and actually good fun. The courses are easy to access and follow, there is clear guidance and feedback and the coaches are knowledgeable and have loads of experience so you trust them. I found completing the courses gave you a sense of achievement and your progress and, for me they produced results as I got a new half marathon pb and 5km pb! You also get to engage with other female runners from all over the world. Sign up - GRWT are great.

I recently completed the 30 day Race Shape programme. The course was online but updates and support were given daily on the Facebook group. I wasn’t actively looking to better my 5k time, I was more looking for a challenge to follow during lockdown and having followed Girls run the World on You Tube I was keen to learn more about improving my running style. This course totally ticked the box and I will continue with what I have learnt for sure. I also got a PB for my 5k which was a bonus!
What I have also enjoyed with being part of a GRTW challenge is that the focus was on improving your own time and it didn’t matter if you were able to do 5k in 20 minutes or 40 minutes and seeing everyone else’s improvements was good. I will prob look to sign up for other GRTW challenges but for June I’m happy to revisit the May workouts and keep improving! Thanks GRTW!

Such a brilliant course!! I got a PB and feel so much more motivated and energized!!

Really enjoyed the course. It’s a 30 day course that’s extremely easy to access, very simple to follow and very effective. I did the Race Shape Programme. I didn’t do the eating side of it so I can’t comment on that but I wanted some structure for my running in lockdown and I wanted to improve my speed so this was a no brainer for me. My time improved from a 14-15min mile to an avg of a 13-14 min mile and from avg 9-10min km to a 7-8min Km. It might not sound massive but it’s massive for me I’ve been around those marks for the last two years and my technique is better and I am not feeling any niggles! Would definitely recommend.

I recently took part in a 30-day Race Shape Challenge programme with GRTW and was very impressed with the information, help and support we all got. The programme was a good mix of running drills and mobility exercises and there was also a dietary advice aspect thrown in.I felt that I could really trust the advice we were given and loved how active the team were on the Facebook page, answering queries and responding to posts. I'd definitely recommend GRTW 100%

I really enjoyed the format of the 30 day Race Shape course; I had got used to just plodding around after a spate of injuries sapped my confidence. The course was brilliantly put together with a focus on core and yoga through out each week too, providing a really thorough guide to improving your running speed. I’ve tried speed workouts previously but was never sure whether I was doing enough, too much etc so I found it so helpful to receive a planned workout, taking the guess work out of it! Would highly recommend the course to all, thank you so much Girls Run the World!

Took part in the 30 day race shape course which was to increase my 5k time. I tend to do more long distance running and never concentrate on speed. I found the course very helpful and it certainly helped increase my pace and also think about my running form. The course was easy to follow and was nicely varied with running, technique days, yoga and abs work. The online videos and live sessions were also very helpful.

I signed up for the GRTW 30 day race shape challenge. It was really great to have a structured plan with daily challenges and lots of focus on technique. I had never considered signing up for a course like this before but will definitely sign up to future courses! Easy to use website and friendly and supportive Facebook group community.

I’ve recently completed the 30 Day Race Shape Course. I have been a runner forever and had started to accept I’d never achieve the times I could 30 years ago. I run a lot but my runs have turned into plods with no real focus.
This course changed that - the tips on technique and the core strength exercises were invaluable. I started to enjoy having a plan when I left the house to run and the online camaraderie is absolutely fantastic! I would recommend GRTW to anyone at any stage of their running - there’s something for everyone. Jane (51 yr old cancer survivor and running addict 😀)

Thank you GRTW. I’ve just completed the 30 day shape challenge and knocked nearly 4 minutes off my 5k time.
It’s a fantastic course from an amazing and knowledgable team. Great coaching, pushed me further than I believed I could go and a wonderful and supportive Facebook group. So impressed I’ve signed up for the 10k course and I can’t wait for it to start.

What a fantastic course. Massive thank you to the GRTW team. I hadn't done any running for a few years and the sessions were challenging but enabled everyone to work at a pace that suited their individual capabilities. The Facebook group meant that we could encourage each other and gave us some accountability too. The sessions were varied and included core sessions and yoga too and we could seek advice from the professional coaches at any time. I knocked 3 minutes off my 5k time that I measured at the start of the course. More importantly I am motivated again, enjoying running and I am now revisiting the sessions to try to improve even more. I would definitely recommend this and will definitely look into doing another course at some point.
