2023 Set The Pace Off Season + 2024 Season Planner

I’m putting together an off season offer combining everything that I usually get requests for, but cutting to the chase instead of having it piece by piece.

I’m cutting to the quick so people are set for the year and they aren’t having to pay a lot more doing each individually through the year by having it for a 1 time $500 fee.

  • Off season program of 20 weeks (I have from sprint to IM distance and from beginner to advanced). Includes intermittent fitness assessments.
  • Race plan based on your event and fitness (beg – int – adv) of 20 weeks for a 70.3 and Olympic or 24 weeks for full IM. If there is a gap from off season to race plan, I will fill it.
  • Both of those plans I will apply in your TP calendar and arrange to fit your schedule that you will send me via a google intake form.
  • I will upgrade your TP account to Premium for the entire length of the plan so you can move workouts if you need to
  • 1 hour phone/zoom consultation to discuss anything about your journey you want my input on
  • Swim or Run assessment from video you take and send me
  • Access to my online club for discounts and educational content (see below for what all is included in that)
  • Set The Pace Hat
  • 50% discount on coaching services if you decide to switch at any time

Who’s Ryan?

I’m a Kansas City (Olathe suburb on the Kansas side) product, raised in Olathe, and attended KU for college (Rock Chalk Jayhawk!) where I obtained two degrees in engineering. I reside in Olathe now with my wife, 3 kids, 3 dogs. 1 hedge hog and 1 cat found abandoned along side the road on a long training ride.

Growing up I played sports here and there.  I wasn’t exactly athletically gifted and although not picked last at kickball, I was next to last usually.  Around 2001 I started running 5k’s up to ½ marathons. I had always worked out with weight training, running and mountain biking since high school football, where I was used more for a tackling dummy at practice than a key contributor on game day. Mountain biking and running lead me to running off-road duathlons and a few mountain bike races in 2002. In 2003 I signed up for an on-road duathlon, not realizing I would need a road bike, which I did not own at the time. I borrowed someone’s steel road bike and placed 2nd in my age group. I was hooked on on-road duathlons and running races while despising swimming. In 2005 I ran my first triathlon and have been racing triathlons ever since overcoming my disdain for the water.

My coaching philosophy is serving athletes to reach their goal.  First timers, moving up in distance, getting faster times… if you want to take on the challenge or improve from last time, I’m your man!  I also realize that EVERY athlete is time-crunched, but there’s an under serving for athletes that are money-crunched.  Instead of lowering rates and watering down plans and services, I have taken upon myself to condense my knowledge into digestible chunks that are AFFORDABLE whether it be very specific took kits or memberships to cut the fluff and get you what you really need.  I have something for you!
