“I was able to successfully complete my goals with the help of my coach, Murray at Training Partners. I never thought I could be a runner until Murray motivated and encouraged me to do his walk/run program. I now have completed 5K races, in a time of under 30 minutes. I have been a client for over three years. Also I recommend his strength and stretching programs to stay injury free.” Frank Cornacchia, French Teacher

“Murray is more than just a personal coach, knowledgeable nutritionist, and champion runner. His walk/run program is designed to meet individual goals and is flexible and tailored to meet the needs of the individual of any age or fitness level. I personally have been part of the walk/run program for several years and I can say that I’ve never met a more positive, kind, and patient individual. I don’t think I can recall one time where Murray was ever without a smile! His positive energy and training approach motivates and challenges you to achieve those I can’ts and makes you realize that they are only barriers that you have created within your own mind. He is more than generous with his time, and always goes above and beyond the required training session to share innovative and helpful tips and ensure that you are comfortable with the training routine. I’m sure Training Partners will be a positive experience for you as it has been for me!” Patrizia Cornacchia, University student

My runs are always accommodated around a hectic travel schedule. Training Partners has been a great experience for me.” Moya Greene, C.E.O. Canada Post

"I have been training and racing with Murray for several years. He is simply the greatest buddy anyone can ever wish for: always punctual at the meeting place(something I can't say for myself), he is an enlightened and yet patient coach, a competent nutritionist, a friend that is always generous with his time... and unbeatable in his age category." Francesco Guardiani, U. of T. Professor, and Past President of Longboat Running Club

“I think of Murray as my "racing partner". My race will always be the better for having Murray to push me, or to set a sensible pace. Our times are very close at many distances and our relationship as competitors, illustrates the fact that good competitors, are essential to getting the most out of the racing experience. To be honest, this quality is not an easy one to find in male competitors, racing against women. Murray's experience as a high-performance athlete, combined with his wisdom, translates effectively into useful information for a broad spectrum of runners; including beginners or those seeking to become more physically active.”Lynn Kobayashi Canadian 50- 54 record holder 30K, Ontario 50-54 record holder, marathon

“Running a marathon was just a dream for several years. Although I had ran four half marathons and Around the Bay (30 km), the full marathon seemed daunting. Murray Mostyn was at least as commited as I was to achieving my goal. He is an inspiring coach, who is incredibly positive and believed in me more than I did myself. New York Marathon 2006, my first marathon, first attempt, I'd still be dreaming about it if it weren't for Murray.” Sharon MacLeod, Marketing Manager, Unilever Canada "

Murray is my coach, and equally, my friend. Five years ago, I began training with Murray in a Learn-To-Run program. At the time, thirty seconds seemed too long to run. Less than a year later, with Murray's coaching and encouragement, I ran a half marathon in Holland. It was a dream come true and an incredible way to celebrate my 50th birthday. I then went on to be a series Champ for my age group in the Niagara area. I took it one step further and ran the Chicago Marathon with Murray. It was my first ever Marathon. Miracles can happen; I was able to finish. With Murray's help, I am now preparing to run the Boston Marathon. Being a single mom with work and life stress, I find that running makes things easier. Through Murray's training runs, I continually meet new friends that I adore. You never know when angels will show up in life. Much love to you Murray and wish you great health. You're the best!" Jane Stackhouse, Roche Pharmaceutical Rep
