Athlete Testimonials
Real runners. Real results. Hear how Coach Aidan and Shinkansen Stride has helped athletes of all levels reach new personal bests and build lasting momentum.
"Coach Aidan helped me shave over 10 minutes off my marathon time. His training plan was smart, efficient, and totally personalized. I felt more prepared than ever on race day—and I actually enjoyed it."
"I dropped 5 seconds off my 800m and gained so much confidence in the process. Aidan not only gave me a plan—he gave me belief. Every workout had a purpose."
"Before working with Aidan, I was stuck in a rut. Now, I actually look forward to running again. His energy, feedback, and weekly structure helped me fall back in love with the sport."
"I started with zero experience and a goal of just running a 5K. Now I’m training for my first half marathon! Coach Aidan’s support and guidance made running feel doable, even fun."
