"Ben from Full Potential was amazing. The running plans, guides and information were so important as a first time Marathon runner. I don't think my experience would have been as safe, enjoyable and successful without this input."

"I thought Ben from Full Potential was brilliant! The online talks he gave were really informative and fun! Ben was very responsive when I had a couple of questions about the plan. So lovely to know support was there if needed."
