I have improved my training tremendously. I am encouraged to squeeze out more training time from my schedule. Clayton is realistic, and encouraging. I improved my time at my last event to the best I’ve done in about 5 years.

El Jefe or fearless leader as I know him has gone above and beyond my plan. I signed up for the cheapest one as funds are tight and I live in Indonesia. He has gone out of his way countless times( I’v been wearing 5 fingers for years like a dirty hippie I feel Koop’s eyes rolling). When I told Frederic that and my hippie shoes he didn’t flinch and just said if that’s what you want we will work with that.

He responds promptly and we chat regularly, and with great insights. He lets me do what I feel is right for me with great guidance and has worked around all different issues with terrain my lifestyle living in a small village in , Bali that barely has roads.

I will use his technique in my own coaching for swimming and freediving and hope that he gets the recognition he deserves as he is an amazing human and ya just a good dude that is there to help and what more coaches need to do, listen. He truly has changed me as an athlete and a coach/ teacher.

I am very happy with my decision to work with Ryne. He has created a training block for me that has me feeling fit, confident and–most important–injury free! Ryne has done a fantastic job communicating with me and explaining my training and then adjusting my training based on how I have handled the miles as well as my feedback and my schedule. I could not be happier with how things are going and I am very excited to test my fitness at the MMT 100 in a few weeks!

It’s been a great experience so far. A completely different outline to my usually training and I’m noticing the benefits very early on. Bri has been a great coach, very analytical and explains the process really well so I understand why we are training this way and what benefits I will gain from it. I’m really excited to see what the next few months hold

In short, working with Duncan has been fantastic. I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect, given Duncan is the first coach that I’ve had. However, having worked with Duncan for a bit over a year and a half, I couldn’t be happier. His focus on developing a training plan that balances both my competitive aspirations and life-balance is great. His knowledge and ability to discuss a wide range of training / racing / life topics always provides the right perspective when needed. His flexibility with our meeting / communication is great. Love the variability of how he structures trainings. And beyond all that, he’s just a great down to earth guy who I happy to have a good relationship with.

And if that all wasn’t enough, I had a very specific competitive stretch goal for myself the first day I began working with Duncan, which was to win the Kettle Moraine 100 miler. This was accomplished this past June and I wouldn’t have been able to do that, or the other lead-up milestones without Duncan’s partnership.

Best,
Mike

Allen has been so great! I enjoy his style. Very friendly and engaging!
I highly recommend!

Extraordinary and very professional and knowleadble . Very happy working with her.

The two main factors that make a coach worth it are 1. they understand the science of foundational zone training and can proscribe an effective escalation of training load designed to help you meet your goals – 2. Your are accountable to someone else for your efforts – there are definitely times when you just do not want to get on the bike but knowing that coaching call is coming is a significant motivating factor.

J race primarily cyclocross and as a pro CX’er Caroline knows the discipline inside out. Her base season plans have been spot on and are targeted at exactly what I need to improve. I feel the year ahead will be my best season yet!

I’ve spent a lot of time training and have run 100 marathons and ultras but haven’t used a coach. I wanted some help to improve my races and lessen the tough times in these races. After a couple of months I can see the improvement. The big races are coming up and I’m really looking forward to see what I can do.

Working with Dave has expanded my expectations of the results of working with a coach. I expected to fundamentally be faster and have better endurance, what I did not expect is all the other areas that developed with the work such as on bike strength and agility, confidence (and calmness) in navigating unexpected situations approaching lengthy rides and difficult courses/terrain along with transforming my mental approach to a workout or race.

Through Dave’s guidance rather than participating in athletics, today I consider myself an endurance athlete

I just finished the 120 miles of TransRockies in Colorado. My coach Sarah Scozzaro has been wonderful in my preparation for the 6 day event. I went into TRR feeling confident and completed the miles without any issues. She is always helpful and encouraging! Thank you so much Coach Scozzaro!

Maddison Russell has done a wonderful job as my coach for the past year. I have been cycling for 40 years and this was my first experience working with a coach. Maddison set up an excellent program for me that seemed remarkably well calibrated in terms of both training stress and recovery. I quickly gained confidence in the program he established, which was helpful for my motivation and made the training more enjoyable. I learned a lot in the process. For instance, in the past I did not schedule enough recovery and endurance rides and was not sufficiently regimented in my fueling for long rides. I look forward to working with Maddison in the future!

I cannot sing enough praises for Ryne! I had minor experience with trail running and wanted to try an ultramarathon. I knew I could not complete the training alone. I was extremely fortunate to meet Ryne. Right away, he was receptive to my prior experiences and future goals. With a tailored program, Ryne prepared me for my first 50K, which I completed! And then my second 50K!

I threw a curveball, expressing my motivation for open-water swimming! Utilizing his expertise in endurance physiology, Ryne coached me for my first open-water 10Km marathon swim.
Ryne is a true master of his craft, having years of experience as an endurance coach. But what really sets him apart his is qualities as a person and mentor. Obviously one size does not fit all in ultramarathon/endurance training. Ryne will take the time to get to know you, understand the challenges facing your training, and work with you to tailor your training program accordingly. He is accessible, and available when unforeseen challenges arise.

Ryne will view you as an individual with unique dreams. Given the desire and commitment, he will help you reach your goals and unlock your full potential as an endurance athlete.

John has tailored a workout plan that covered a blood clot in my leg and me getting covid. John gave me good advice for buying wheels, shoes and a new Modone. He is easy to talk with. We discuss a wide range of cycling topics. I would be happy to recommend John.

Great coaches, good value. Have worked with several through the years and enjoyed coaching relationship with each of them.

Jason has been a wonderful coach, He has helped me greatly improve my cycling skills and fitness. He is always prompt with his responses and is very knowledgeable. The routines and workouts he gives me are great.

Adam met me exactly where I was in my journey to becoming an Ultra athlete! My schedule was pretty restrictive, but he worked with me to make a massive jump from having run only 1 official marathon to running 100 miles! 11/10 would recommend Adam to anyone looking to level up their running.

Andy is the coach I looked for, for five years. Of course he knows his technical stuff. Where he shines is both listening to what I know about myself and suggesting workouts that push my fitness and self concepts. I work harder when I don’t have complex workouts. He gives me blocks of intervals that don’t require much thinking, just time them and put in the effort. No complexity to trip me up. My recovery from heart-valve surgery accelerated with his thoughtful, challenging intervals and foundation work. I’m impressed that I’ve gained stamina even as I’ve gotten well past the 70 year mark with more than seven years of previous demanding training.

I will workout on my own, but I workout more often and more regularly when a coach posts workouts and gives me actionable feedback afterwards. I have lots of questions and he gives thoughtful answers, suggests reasons, and encourages experimentation. And what a bonus that he was a competitive tandem rider and understands the demands of a couple riding together as well as my miles on a single bike.

I’ve been working with Nicole for a couple years now through Canyons and now enroute to CCC in August. Nicole has helped me through self driven training camps and a 3 day race at Mammoth Trailfest and Dipsea. Nicole holds a very fine line with me that I have come to appreciate. She doesn’t allow me to get down on myself (when times are tough in training and life) yet also holds the expectation, when appropriate, that I can do more and can push a little more here and there. It’s so delicate and yet she nails it and I more than appreciate it. I hope she gets to read this. Onward to CCC this summer! I’m building well, recovering well, and feeling some confidence already and am a long way out.
