P.F. Chang's Rock 'n' Roll Arizona Finisher

"I'm sure you guys are getting inundated with results emails, but I did want to send a quick note to say thank you for a great training program. I did this race last year on my own, with no idea how to train for 13.1 miles! At that race I did okay, posting a 2:11:59 finish time. My goal this year was to break 2 hours, which I thought might be a little aggressive at the outset.

I'm happy to report that I blew my goal away this year by finishing at 1:56:44 - more than 15 minutes faster than last year and more than 3 minutes faster than my goal!

Now I have my sights set on breaking 1:50:00 next year (or maybe 1:45...) and you can be sure I'll be using your trainin program for the race, as well as events I have coming up before then.

Thanks again for your help!"

Silverman Triathlon Finisher

"I completed the Silverman full distance triathlon on November 12th - the 13 week program was a success! I followed the program as closely as I could. It was perfect for my busy work travel schedule, and I usually managed to complete everything required over a 7-day rolling period (although not always in order). I am thrilled I made it - one of only 151 individual finishers (more than 270 signed up, we think about 210 started).

I never thought the program was enough of a workout to get me through - it looked like too many rest days, not enough workout time, too little running, etc. But at my age, the rest was crucial and the weekend long efforts were enough to build the stamina I needed. Amazingly, I was less stiff the day after the race than I used to be after a marathon - when I was 10 years younger.

Thank you Gale Bernhardt!"
