Incredible experience. Johnny took the time to walk me
through every question I had in detai and help me understand the value
of the testing I was having done. I am confident that my Ironman race
will be successful with his help. I will be back for more testing.

Awesome experience! The amount of information that is
provided to you in a relatively short period of time is a great tool to really
dial in your training.

Johnny, you rock! Bike fit made such a difference in my
ride. I was able to do a 55 miler in the same amount of time I did a 40 miler
just 3 weeks earlier.

The personalized
instruction, video, and follow up prescription has helped me
tremendously and
will help me in future.
My day at the pool included video and analysis of the aspects of
relaxation to full stroke swimming. Breathing, weight shifts, balance,
and stroking was broken into learning segments so that I could visualize
in my
head and then connect this vision to the stroking. The personalized
instruction, video, and follow up prescription has helped me
tremendously and
will help me in future. Thank you so much for building my swimming
skills
so that I can be a talented, efficient swimmer.
Also, thanks for the
encouragement.

Over the years, I feel like I've gotten a lot of seemingly contradictory
or partial information about diet and exercise.
When I came to Coach Johnny
at Third Coast Training, I had decided that what I needed was real data
about me to try to help guide my diet and fitness goals. In working with Coach Johnny, it finally all 'clicked'. I finally feel like I've got a good
handle on not only what I need to do, but why and how I fit into the
overall metabolic scheme of things.

I started cycling about 4 years ago to lose weight and
improve my fitness level.
After 3 years of directing my own training, I
had hit the wall. I wasn't improving anymore, my weight was up, and
people I used to beat were blowing me out the back of the peleton. In short, I
was burned out. I started training with Third Coast
in January. In just two months, I'm down 20 lbs, my energy level is
up, my heart rate is down, recovery is lightning quick, and I'm excited
about riding my bike again.

Thanks for helping me discover that missing link in my
nutrition and training.
Your nutrition plan is easy to follow and testing
methods keep me motivated. I've never felt this good before the start of my
previous 5 race seasons. I can't wait to test my new engine at my first race.

RAGBRAI was a breeze and I rode my first century during the event In my very late 40's I spent a couple of years spinning my wheels
trying to get back in shape. On the suggestion of a friend I went to
Third Coast Training looking for help getting ready to
ride RAGBRAI. Coach Johnny's approach makes sense and it works. RAGBRAI. was a breeze and I rode my first century during the event. The
following year I rode RAGBRAI. again, completed 15 century rides, did a 730
mile bicycle tour, finished my first triathlon, and ran my first
marathon. I don't know how people train without the tools and nutrition
counseling Coach Johnny provides. Thanks so much for the help and
encouragement.

I completed my first marathon! I ran Chicago a
few weeks ago. I don't think I would have felt capable of training for or
running the marathon if it had not been for the triathlons I
completed. And...I wouldn't have trained for the triathlons if it
wasn't for your encouragement and program.
So...thank you! C. Fant October 09

I wanted to give you my Memphis Marathon race results.
It
was a good training race and I had alot of energy left at the end. The
nutrition worked out real well. I opted to try and keep the heart rate
in lower zone 1 and just have a good race while still feeling well at
the finish. The training program worked great! It gave me nearly a 25
min PR!

Having just completed my third Ironman distance triathlon in Louisville,
Kentucky,
I can honestly say that Third Coast Training's Triathlon Program works.
Normally, I can't WAIT to get off the bike. This time, I arrived in
T2 feeling like I could have ridden more. I'm looking forward to next
season and the progress I'm bound to make with Third Coast Training.

Wow that felt good!
In
February of 2008 I found myself at the Mayo Clinic trying to figure
out what was causing problems with the instability and loss of strength
in my left leg. It looked like Ironman distance triathlons might be
out of the question for me, until I met Johnny with Third Coast Training.
I started my first day of training with Johnny on August 1st,
2008. Only 3 MONTHS to get back into Ironman shape. The program
was challenging, but it paid off.
At the age of 40, I ran a 10:48 Ironman
Florida. That topped my 11:13 Florida time in 2001 at the age of 32.
Wow that felt good!
I
could not have prepared for an event like this in 3 months without Johnny's
expertise. Thanks so much for your coaching and friendship.

The great thing about having Johnny as a Triathlon coach
is that you get a Coach that gives you lots of personal attention. He is full of useful
information, and without his help I would not have done very well at my
first triathlon. My training with him had just began but the impact he
had was amazing. I look forward to where his expert advice will take
me in the future.

This is the first time that I feel like I am actually working out with
a purpose,
and doing something that is making a difference in my body.
I was already working out, but just didn't understand my metabolism
and what my body needed. I have already lost 6.8 pounds in 2 weeks!
The exercise and diet have finally come together for me in a way that
I've never been able to achieve on my own.

doing. My pants are starting to bag on me! Hooray.

| When I started bicycle racing two and half years
ago, I had no idea how to train.
I
was lucky to meet coach Johnny early in my cycling career. He put me on a sound
training program that kept me injury free and allowed me to improve my power at
lactate threshold by more than 25% in one year. The periodic lactate threshold
tests we conducted allowed Johnny to precisely measure my improvements, so he
could tell me exactly how much I needed to increase my training intensity as I
grew stronger. This was important because if I didn't increase my intensity
enough, I wouldn't improve, but if I increased my intensity too much, my body
would break down, and I'd become slower. Johnny's program eliminated all the
guess work with my training and allowed me just to focus on riding and having
fun. In the two years I worked with Johnny, I went from being dropped in nearly
all my races, to putting more than a minute into the second place finisher at
my state's recent time trial championship. Coach Johnny's methods definitely
produce results.

This race season was very good. My
national ranking went to number 11 in 50+.
Since I am being ranked with guys 5 years younger than me this makes it more
impressive and when you consider there are over 1000 ranked...and thousands
more that are competing but not ranked...this even sweetens the deal. Also to
note, at that time,(July), I was ranked in the top 200 of all racers over 30.
This is out of 30+ ranked racers....many, many, thousands.
Point is...Thanks for the help!!
