Melanie Carvell is one of my running heroines. I had the privilege of attending one of her running classes emphasizing efficiency of movement, prevention of injury and low impact running. Chairs had to be added to the classroom to accommodate the many people who continued to arrive. It was a fascinating class. I would have enjoyed another hour of instruction! - Jacqueline Biloff
