Happy New Year!


Wow, it is hard to believe it is already 2009! It is time to get focused on yourself and your fitness. We are excited to expand our coaching business in 2009. In 2008 Eileen was a personal triathlon coach, pro triathlete and full time manager at Oracle Corporation. In 2009, she is focusing 100% of her time on coaching and training.

At Fast Twitch Coaching, we prescribe to a philosophy of quality over quantity and training should involve cross training activities for ourselves and the athletes we coach. Recently, we have been coaching our athletes to focus on running at the track, power on the bike and intervals in the pool. We can help you with quality workouts that will allow you to make the most of 2009.

We coach athletes from novice to All American and from Sprint to Ironman. No matter what your background or goals are, we can and will make you faster.

We would love to talk to you about how we can make you a faster multi sport athlete, we want to help.


Cheers!
