I’m a 27-year-old female runner. As ambitious as I am enthusiastic, I have trained all by myself for 38 minutes (10K), 3:28 (M) and even a time just under 9 hours for the 100-K-ultramarathon. As a matter of fact, I have financed myself so far, but why shouldn’t anybody like to profit from my motivation and positive attitude to display his company’s logo?

They’ll be giving me warm-up gear to wear right before the race so everybody can see the company name printed on it.

but I’m not there yet.
I’d love to find a company or somebody who’d give me the opportunity to have a coach, massages, physical therapy and all the good things that’d make me faster.
I’m training pretty hard on my own, running about 70 miles per week, including intervals and tempo runs, but I’ver never had a real coach, just using training programs I find on the internet for free.
I’d love to be part of a great running team and I wouldn’t mind promoting products I believe in.
Having a shoe sponsor would also be great. I go through so many running shoes.
Or somebody who’d get me to races and just pay for travel expenses and race entry fees. You need to race fast to run fast, but bigger races are far away and expensive.
My PRs, all set in 2007:
5k – 19:44
10k – 42:45
1/2 marathon – 1:34:04
marathon – 3:35:08
