I have continued to coach various competitive endurance athletes to success in road cycling, triathlon and running events. I have also been helping non competitive athletes as well to achieve various fitness, health and weight loss goals. My high performance training methods have proven very effective for many different types of athletes. I will revamping the Spintex website and business model to better accommodate the needs of all Spintex athletes. Stay tuned for a new, improved, "video centric" Spintex Fitness.

I have been putting so much prep into the new Spintex site and business model that I have been terrible about posting my athlete results. Bill is having another great triathlon year. He spent last season exclusively on the road bike as Gianna and Aubrey (the twins) were at a time intensive stage. Bill is back and on fire this season. Check out his result so far this season: Desert International Sprint Triathlon 1st Sacramento International Triathlon 2nd Encinitas Sprint Triathlon 2nd Way to go Bill!

The events were hosted by the Palo Alto Fire Department and I have to say that they really put on a smooth, welcoming, trouble free event. I competed in three events: a flat 10 mile time trial in which I took SIVLER! A 32 mile rolling terrain road race in which I took GOLD! Yeah baby! Lastly I competed in a 2 mile uphill time trial...ouch! but, I took another SILVER! This was a great experience which I was lucky enough to share with my beautiful daughter Hannah who helped me out with pre and post race support. I wanted to say thank you to my family for always allowing me time to coach and train and to all of the Spintex athletes who wished me well on my trip.

I've created them for the base period and they are available for those having "minimal", "moderate" and "lot's of time" to train. The programs require that you test first to determine your Functional threshold power. You can then apply your FTP to the program and do the workout per your individual power levels. Each Base program is built around the time you have available to train. Have a look and tell a friend. You can point them to TrainingPeaks where the programs are available for purchase. You can enter in Road, triathlon or running in discipline and California for the location search. I'll have the FTP testing protocol up shortly.

See the video at http://youtube.com/profile?user=spintexfitness I'll continue working on getting the new website up so that the videos can be viewed in a larger player with a much clearer picture. I'm hoping for early December. These videos were created out of a need to teach you all how to train with power and how to make the most of that experience by using the WKO+ software. Thank you all for driving me to get this project done. I would never have started this project without the urging of my Spintex athletes!
