    Thank you!”

    2024 USA TRIATHLON ULTRA DISTANCE
    NATIONAL CHAMPION

    “You told me when we started working together that you didn't want triathlon to be my entire life, where previously it had.

    I trained less weekly hours this year than last and I raced much better, hit all my goals. Your coaching allowed me to have great balance in life, which I think played an advantage in my racing.”

  • Shannon Crone

    “Over the past few years, I've felt like I hit the point where I will no longer gain speed or set PR’s. Immediately upon starting your program, I have seen quick improvements in both my bike and run.

    I love the ‘quality over quantity' approach, coupled with strength training and stretching. Your training methodology fits my crazy-busy life, and I still feel like I'm getting to live my life. I can't wait to get out there and race!"

  • Jason Hatton

    “Your programming is great.  I've been impressed with the gains I've made in the swim, bike, and run.

    Having done this for so long I wasn't expecting to make as many gains as I have. I most appreciate the blend of Old school HR workouts and New school power based workouts and that you are not 100% in either camp.”

  • Josh Huffman

    “With your help, I accomplished exactly what I set out to do. For me, a huge benefit of your coaching is accountability and discipline.

    On my own, I may have been swayed to cut workouts short or skip for one reason or another. Knowing that someone was tracking my progress and analyzing my data meant that was not an option. Your advice on fueling and hydration strategies was also very helpful as a rookie in long-distance endurance running.”

  • Angie Killom

    “I love that I don’t have to think about training and what’s next. I love that I am pushed out of my own comfort zone as you know what I am capable of. I love that my life is not built around my training and my training is built around my life.

    My body does not feel as beat up after running 10 or more miles. I can’t say enough about it and am excited to see how Tri season is going to go.”

  • Ryan Kroge

  • Tim May

    “Without Coach Ryan and his coaching and guidance I would not have completed an Ironman race.

    He was able to touch on all aspects of the Ironman race including your racing, mental game, and nutrition. He is preparing you from wherever you’re at in your fitness journey.”

  • Morgan Pilat

    “We absolutely exceeded my goals. This season I wanted to unlock my potential and finish races strong, and that’s what happened.

    At no point did I feel like I ‘hit a wall’ or that it was ‘too much’, and I know that was because of your coaching, guidance, and training plan for me. I have seen massive improvements in myself throughout this past year and am so happy to have you as my coach!”

  • Steve Putt

    “I appreciate coach Ryan! I’ve really seen the results from following his personalized training schedule.

    He helps provide a clear race plan for each race. He continues to challenge me everyday and helps to work towards new PR’s!”

  • Scott Sanders

    “I started working with Ryan about 7 years ago when I decided to get a little more focused on Triathlon.

    His experience as an accomplished athlete and his capacity to understand the process, how to work through setbacks, and how to take a measured approach to training has been an invaluable part of my journey over the years. I would highly recommend, and have done so, Ryan to anyone looking for a coach to help them achieve whatever their goals might be.”

  • Chris Swiecicki

    “Working with Ryan has truly improved my performance after a number of years of being stuck at a plateau and even questioning whether I was in the declining years of my athletic career.

    I made gains in all three disciplines following his training plan, but what made the most difference was the nutrition plan Ryan put together that poised me for success on the run where I had previously had major troubles in five previous full Ironman races”
