“Kyle and the TriStar team have been exactly what I was looking for to bring more focus, structure and guidance to my training. Now, I have more confidence that the preparation fits in a broader program to achieve specific race goals.”
— Terry Corcoran
“I I love that I don't have to think if I don't want to - the plan is there and ready for me every day in a super clear, easy to understand format. I've also noticed that my training plan is scarily accurate! On the workouts when I think to myself "I'll just see what I can do and not follow the specifics of pace and effort", I end up performing exactly as the plan had suggested! It seems that my coach knows exactly what I am capable of at every step of my training and the workouts are perfectly aligned as a result!”
— Kim Hollingdale

— Leslie Tafoya

My coach’s thoughtful training plans allow me to build on my progress as an athlete while managing work, family and other obligations.”

First off, I am flat-out excited and happy with my race performance! I feel like everything we’ve been working on over the past 3 years came together on race day. I am especially pleased with two aspects : first, my pacing … I was so pumped to be running strong all the way to the end and to record the fastest Run split in my Age Group - by 6 minutes - and second, how I managed my nutrition and hydration in 85+ degree heat and high humidity….
