Thunderdome has taken me to the next level of racing & setting PR's by creating & customizing personalized schedules that address my running deficiencies, while still recognizing what my strengths are.  Coach Thull has been the voice of reason & discipline, sharing his years of knowledge & experience, instrumental in my recent successes as a Masters racer.

Favorite Race:  One race I really like is the Horicon National Wildlife Refuge 5K.  It’s in fall and you run through the marsh on a road they closed to traffic.  It’s a small race and they do a great job putting it on.

Favorite Running pump up song:  We are young by Fun

 

Coach Matt of Thunderdome has helped me see times that I didn’t think I had in me anymore.  I have a busy life and with Thunderdome the guessing game of what I’m going to do each day or week is done for me.  Coach Matt is awesome!!

Name:   Lisa          Location: Wauwatosa, Wisconsin          Age: 53
Weekly Mileage: 30-35

Favorite Race: Aldo Leopold 14m Ultra Trail Run (Devils Lake State Park)  One-time only :(
Favorite Running pump up song:  "The Battle" (from soundtrack Gladiator)

Before Thunderdome, I was bored, complacent, sluggish, and slow; ran because I HAD to (to maintain cardio health, to keep weight down). During Thunderdome: Wow, I can do that?  What a crazy workout!  I never thought running could be this FUN!  Can I just leave this meeting and go out for a run?

Name:  Betsy Kenyon          Location:  Altadena, California          Age: 46
Weekly Mileage: 30-40 miles per week
Favorite Race: Boston Marathon
Favorite Running pump up song:  Kodachrome

Matt is amazing! His workouts are challenging and rewarding and he "takes your pulse" making sure things are working for you. He is cheerful, enthusiastic and honest and there when you need him. He really cares. I am by far the fastest and strongest I've ever been.
