Vern

Having successfully completed Ironman Wisconsin 2006 I felt I
owed you a letter of appreciation. When I came to you back in
October 2005, I was training very hard. As it turns out, I was
training too hard and improperly. Your Lactate Threshold test
should be the first place any aspiring endurance athlete starts
their training program. The LT test showed where I needed to
get my heart rate to effectively train and compete at long
distances. It was unbelievable to watch the positive changes
in my heart rate during the first 3-4 months of training. In fact,
once I got my heart rate where it needed to be which taught my
body to burn fat instead of glycogen, I went from 184 lbs to 167
lbs in 45 days! I maintained that weight loss throughout the
program by adding muscle as I lost more fat. My body fat  got
down to 9.5%. Not bad for a 39 year old.
More importantly, your experience in endurance training was
vital to my training. You knew exactly how fast to bring me along
and warned me repeatedly not to over do it. I had trained by
myself for previous events and never made it to the start line
from over-training injuries. I trained with you, racking up more
miles and stayed injury free up to the final weeks.
People who say the proof is in the pudding should call me at
any of the #s below. You were on the course in Madison and
saw me passing lots of people in the marathon. I am not that
good of a runner. However, I was better trained than 99% of the
people out there and it showed as I had great energy level
remaining on the run.You hit the taper on the nose. People look
at my finish line photo and see the HUGE smile and say that I
don't look like I just worked out for 14:25 and they are right. I
actually had more in me. I felt great at the finish and recovered
incredibly well post-race. I know how I felt at the finish line and it
was worth 10 times whatever I paid you throughout the year.
Please do not hesitate to have anyone interested in your services call me for a reference at
anytime.
