TESTIMONIALS

As I neared the Finish Line I saw all my EN peeps on the sideline cheering for me...when I saw the finish line clock I was in absolute shock! 13:43:17!! HOLY CRAP! That’s almost a 2 hour PR! Can you say happy girl??? -- Helen Nemo, NC

I have reached a new level of fitness since participating in the Off Season Plan with Endurance Nation. In the first 6 weeks alone I took 1.5 mins off my 10k time and increased my FTP on the bike by 10 watts!! The support in the forum is outstanding and Rich and Coach P are in there everyday with direction. I have found they listen to the input of the EN members and are willing to adjust the plan as things move along. An even better perk has been the relationships gained with the other participants. From all different walks and perspectives but with shared goals. As long as there is an EN I will be a participant. Give it a try, what it offers is really more than money can buy. -- Gina Hamel, TN

 

My training partners & friends thought I was nuts for training at such high intensities in the off-season. They told me that I should be working on base. I kept my mouth shut and patiently waited to let my legs do the talkin’. It worked. They're scratching their heads wondering how I became so strong once I came out of hibernation and continued to carry that throughout the racing season. Just this past weekend, an old friend asked if I had put in a ton of miles and training hours this season to get my fitness. I told him that it was on an average of 10 hrs a week with no junk miles. He looked very puzzled. Like others have said, Work WORKS!  -- Jim Uemura, IL
