“When I think about Tony Lester it reminds me of one of my biggest regrets in life. You are not supposed to have regrets but a big one of mine is that I never went to his training group sooner.
The years when I was training with Tony, were fun, enjoyable, rewarding, exciting and painful. I always knew I could achieve things because he believed in me and I believed in him. Who knows what could have been!!!!! But I do not think that we did badly in regard to achievements.
For me Tony’s strengths are he was able to get me very fit and fast and he knows how to put a training programme together and he gives you the mental strength to perform at the highest stage! (Kuala Lumpar Commonwealth games 1998 & Sydney Olympics 2000)
You start off being coach and athlete, but you soon have a relationship where he becomes one of your dearest friends because he cares and is very passionate about what he does. Training with Tony, I was in the best shape and a regular on the Great Britain Athletics team. Tony is a very professional individual that will invest a lot of time and effort in helping you achieve your goals”
