Critics Review
“At the end of every marathon training run, I recite the Penguin mantra: ‘The miracle isn’t that I finished, it’s that I had the courage to start.’ I thank John Bingham for bolstering my courage and helping me run, literally, for my life.” —Jessica Stedman Guff, senior producer of ABC-TV’s The View
“Jenny Hadfield is an amazing motivator. She makes regular people believe that they can undertake amazing things–and then she’s there all the way to encourage them, right down to the finish line. I’ve never met another coach quite like her.” —Kathy O’Malley, WGN Radio–Chicago talk show host in training for her first marathon
