What my athletes have to say

"Coach Rice was pivotal in my preparation for the 2020 Los Angeles Marathon.  As a former USATF Championship 800M qualifier both indoors and outdoors, I had been running my entire life, but I did not have a lot of experience running long distances. Coach was able to create a training program for me that played to my strengths while also challenging me to extend my long runs so I would be ready for 26.2 miles. Because of his guidance, I felt extremely well prepared for the Marathon and know that I would not have made it to the finish line without him."

 "Coach Tom is an amazing Coach! I signed up for my first Ironman without knowing how to swim properly and didn't own a bike. I had a year to train before the start of Ironman Louisville 2015. Yikes! Coach designed a custom plan for me and kept in constant contact. Coach Tom really understands what each individual needs to motivate and sometimes push out of their comfort zone. Coach Tom designed training plans that helped me completed three full Ironmen, one half Ironman, several Ragnar Relays, half marathons and a full marathon"

"While training for a weight lifting competition I injured my back which required surgery. A couple years later I met Tom Rice. Through various conversations Tom agreed to train me for my first 70.3 triathlon. Tom provide with a structured and balance series of work outs, increasing in intensity each week. Tom showed me the importance of recovery weeks, nutrition management and listening to your body. I still had challenges with my back, Tom would adjust my training to reduce the impact on my back. As we got further into the training I would doubt myself. Tom continually told me to "Trust the Training". Tom was at my start of the race. Before the start he told me go out enjoy the experience. He was right I crushed my first 70.3 triathlon

Tom is knowledgeable and committed to his athletes. He genuinely want the best for his athletes Without Tom I would not have ever completed first 70.3 triathlon.  Thank you Tom!"

"As a working mother with 2 small children, it was vital for me to have an IM training plan tailored to suit my schedule. Working with Coach Tom, I got just that. He created a manageable plan that maximized my available time while fully preparing me for the 140.6 distance without sacrificing my family time and work. Yes, I was busy, but he believed in me, made me believe in me and helped me realize my full potential. I reached my goal and then decided to take on IM Lake Placid. I completed IMLP 2 years later bettering my time from IMAZ. I even beat Coach Tom in that race, therefore retired from full distance racing. I still compete at the 70.3 distance as well as other endurance races, and yes, still use Coach Tom.
