  • Extremely Helpful!!

    As a new collegiate track and field coach, Vern and Martin bring so much to the table relative to information and topics and their own experience. They are sure to say that they are not the end-all be-all of the topics of discussion but rather give a ton of information, book recommendations, and insights to the world of track and field and the rabbit hole that you can get into with regards to training ideas.

Answered some questions I had as well confirmed my gut feel about how I’ve been continually improving my performance. I’m a 59 year old serious recreational cyclist and I’ve never had the benefit of a coach. I feel I do now. Thanks G... more
