Testimonials From Members of Team Benfield Running
For several years I tried to qualify for the Boston Marathon. After training with Gordon for only six months, I finally did it! Boston, here I come! Gordon’s dedication and motivation encouraged me to train harder and smarter and to run faster than ever before.
Gordon is a very laid-back person, but with a real drive to excel. He takes a personal interest in each runner he trains and tailors his style to each one’s personality. He is encouraging without being overbearing. He truly wants each runner to realize his full potential.

My running has improved significantly since meeting Gordon. He structures workout sessions and times to accommodate most everyone’s work and home responsibilities, making it a practical running program for the average runner who wants to improve. You cannot help but want to please him at a race, because he gets as excited about our performances as we do!
Gordon’s teaching ability for running is a given. I have followed Gordon for four years, and have seen nothing but improvements in my distances, times and races. Gordon understands everyone’s ability as a runner, and how much he/she can achieve
This year's YMCA 1/2 marathon was the best long-distance run of my life. I PR'd by 5 minutes and felt strong at the end of the race. I couldn't believe it. I kept waiting for the inevitable crash and burn but it never happened. Coach B has me on a training program that slowly and steadily builds up strength without injury. His coaching and advice are why I'm running so well. If you have faith in his methods, in time you'll see results.
