set the pace triathlon & Endurance

“I decided to hire Ryan as my coach to help get me through my first full-distance IRONMAN event. Every week I had my entire schedule of workouts planned out. If I had any questions, he was quick to get me straightened out. I had set a goal of 13 hours for IMChoo. Ryan had me so well-prepared for the race that I “crushed” my goal and finished in 12:13! If you need a coach who can keep you on track, I highly recommend Ryan!”

“I wanted to reach out and say thank you for the great training plan. I was able to start in October of last year and complete the plan this May. It was perfectly set out for me to be ready to start the Piedmont Tulsa Ironman. I successfully completed it in 16 hrs and 8 minutes. It was quite the challenge but I was able to did deep and remember all the training I had done up to that point. Thank you for timely reaching back to me regarding questions that I had throughout my training.”

I joined Ryan’s Set the Pace Triathlon program in 2019. In mid-2020, 1 transitioned to working with him as my one-on-one coach through the TriDot platform. The personalized interaction is great, and helped me stay on track and be accountable to do all the work. Ryan is always available for my questions or to talk me off a ledge when I have a bad training session or am worrying about a race. He regularly provides great training content via email and video, too. In May 2021, I completed my first Ironman (and first triathlon) at IM Tulsa, and it was a great experience. The weather and roads were not the best, but I was so well- prepared from working with Ryan that It was no problem. Great coach with great
training options for everyone.

I’ve been working with Ryan for a little over three years and love it! All distance – I’m in Alabama and have never met him face to face – so a lots of texts, emails and notes in TP and it has worked great for me. MOP Age grouper, so I’m not at the really pointy end, but with Ryan’s help, each race i improve. The first race I had with Ryan as my coach is shaved 1 hr off my previous HIM time in the same course. Great communicator, always keeping me honest and pushed me when I needed it, and just a super nice guy. Pricing is WAY more than fair and is likely one of the cheapest
things I pay for in this insane sport! Good guy, great coach, horrible comedian!

I had done half IMs before but had a ten-year hiatus. When an IM was coming to my town, I wanted to do it. Ryan gave me a plan that worked perfectly. I was in great shape and finished an hour faster than I expected. His plans are doable, affordable and effective. He is also a nice guy and easy to talk to and work with. I highly recommend him!!
