Testimonials

"Working with Stephan over the past two years has been such a positive experience. Not only did his training methods help me drop over 25 minutes from my marathon time to qualify for the Boston Marathon, he also coached me to a successful first Ironman finish. Stephan's wit & warmth definitely come through in his coaching. He genuinely wants to know how you are feeling, what is working & what is not, and is there to give you a push when you most need it. His level of dedication and competition combined with the way he keeps his sense of humor about it all has been a real inspiration."
(Mary Meath, Austin TX)

"I asked Stephan to coach me with one goal in mind- qualify for Kona. As a result, he managed to help me knock off over an hour from my Ironman in just 12 months. He first coached me to Ironman Brazil in 2006, where I finished in 10:29 (a 50' PR). In '07 he coached me to Ironman Arizona where I finished in 10:14 and qualified for Kona (and another 15' PR). I met my goal and now I get to live out my dream in Kona. It wouldn't have happened without him. Thanks Stephan."

"After signing up for Ironman France six months ago, I realized that I needed some help preparing for my first Ironman.  After talking with a number of pro triathletes in Austin, they all recommended the same person – Stephan Schwarze.  Stephan not only created a detailed weekly training plan but provided immense help with race day nutrition, strategy and recovery.  I could not have achieved my goals without him."
(Colin Wolfe, Austin TX, after finishing his first Ironman in France in a time of 9:44)

"He [Stephan Schwarze] changed everything. My strength and speed have improved. He taught me mental toughness, and how to get ready on race day. I can now run people down."
