Matt Ancona is another member of EN Northern Illinois Sleeper Cell who has seen incredible gains after joining Endurance Nation after his fall marathon. You can read about Matt’s improvement over the Out-Season in this detailed post on his blog

Coach’s Summary:
Bike: 20% gain in FTP, from 209w, 3.3w/kg to 251 watts and 4.07 w/kg
Run: 3.2 VDot increase in 16wks, with his final test coming shortly.
Patrick and Rich (Endurance Nation Coaches/Founders) have the opportunity to travel to all of the North American Ironman (TM) races throughout the year and meet a ton of Endurance Nation members. But many of our members â though they train and network with each other virtually â only know each other as email addresses, forum names and signatures, rarely getting the chance to connect in the real world.
We thought it would fun for us, the Team, and our listeners to interview our athletes. To put a name, a voice and a face to an email address/forum handle and learn more about each other!
Can your triathlon coach or training plan demonstrate a history of delivering results and testimonials like the ones you’ve heard in these podcasts?

Meet Carrie Himel of Frisco, TX. Carrie and her husband Daniel are both members of Endurance Nation and are training for Ironman Cozumel, Carrie’s first Ironman. Carrie is working mom and a neat lady, not a uber geeked out super stud, so we thought it would be valuable for you to meet her and gain her perspective on Endurance Nation.
