Here are some testimonials from a few of the athletes Paul has coached:
Paul has the gift of listening, understanding, and using his great client feedback email to enhance
triathlon training. He kept me grounded and focused for Ironman, and was very open to changing
on the fly when it was needed. With so much noise out there in the coaching universe, I feel
fortunate I found Paul. It doesn't get any better.

I have just started my third year with Paul Fritszche as my coach. Paul has helped me attain my
goals, from a hopeful age group sprint triathlete to a competitive age group 1/2 Ironman triathlete.
Injuries had been a reality as I started training for my first events but since Paul's tutelage I have not
suffered any injuries but instead have strengthened my core. The training plans always include my
feedback from prior weeks as well as a customized training plan encompassing my scheduling
issues. Obtaining the most from the available training time has always been a goal, Paul's plans
have allowed me to make the most of the available training time. The level of coaching and wealth
of knowledge provided by Paul is superb. No question goes unanswered and as such my
confidence level and my results, have greatly improved.

I came to Paul with a running background, but only one month of cycling "experience" and literally
zero swimming. After signing up for my first Ironman, I knew I was in over my head. I couldn't afford
to waste time with trial and error training, only to hope it would work out 8 months later. Since the
beginning, my goal has been to progress as quickly and efficiently as possible, given the amount of
ground I needed to make up. Without a doubt I never could have accomplished this without Paul,
who has gone above and beyond my expectations as a coach.

Paul has provided excellent coaching for me. I am doing my first Ironman this year, and I am sure I
am a challenge to coach, as I have a very busy and unusual work schedule as well as 2 young
children. This has required a flexible training plan and he has done a great job in this. He also has
provided on-line, telephone and in-person coaching. I would recommend Paul without any
hesitation for any triathlete wishing to improve their training and results.

I have been completed 16 IM races and raced in Kona 3 times. I like working with Paul; the
workouts are varied, interesting, and custom made for me. Paul knows my HR zones and gives me
specific targets for every workout. Every workout has a purpose. Paul proactively solicits feedback
and delivers a new plan that is on time, challenges me, and allows for adequate recovery.

New Canaan , CT
This is my third year working with Paul, and he has provided a tremendous boost to my training. I
went from a newbie doing a few sprints in 2005 through a number of half-iron events in 2006 and
2007, and now am tackling Ironman Canada this year in August. Paul has been flexible and
supportive, and his weekly plans are crafted around a sometimes hectic schedule to keep me on
track and motivated.
