    12 months ago I signed up for Ironman Canada, but due to our involvement with Team CSC I never got to properly start my training. The endless trips to Europe and general workload kept me away from the pool, off my bike and out of my running shoes until early July. At that point I had to make a decis

    Endurance athletes tend to be very goal oriented and find challenge irresistible. The day I finished my first short course triathlon I wanted to move up to the Half Ironman distance. The day I finished my first Half I wanted to move up to Ironman. The day I finished my first Ironman I wanted to qual

    In 2001, after losing precious seconds because of my conservative descending and cornering on the bike at Powerman Tennessee, Nigel took me out for an hour riding lesson in order to prepare for the St. Croix 1/2 Ironman - a course which is all about cornering and descending. Now, I have had many peo

    I'm pretty new to the sport of triathlon, and aerobic-based sports/training in general. I had a lot of fun racing this past summer, and was actually really happy with my results.Properly hooked, I also realized that I wanted to get better, and that I had no idea how to train properly!It was pretty f

  • Sandra Godard


    I am not a typical triathlete: I started the sport at 48 years of age. I had never competed or participated in organized sport before my first short distance tri at the end of the 2001 season. I had never run or cycled seriously and had had no formal training in any of the three disciplines. And I c

    A year ago if you had told me I would average 32 klicks, hour after hour, over a season's worth of Ultra Marathon Cycling Assn races I would have replied; "I like the way you think, but you're crazier than I am!" As a respectable if unspectacular local randonneur cyclist, years of cycling

    At first glance no one would think I was a triathlete; come to think of it, a year ago neither would I. I'd tried the personal trainer route but found it didn't fit into my life. I started riding a bike and thought that maybe Triathlon was the way to go. Problem was, I didn't have a clue about how t

  • Tim Rowley


    I recently completed my first Ironman (Ironman Canada, Penticton, August 2006) based on a 10 month training plan designed by Nigel Gray. The plan was clear and the results were great -- much better than my expectation or even my wildest dreams. I learned that triathlon success rests on being fit, sm

    This year was my 3rd attempt to complete the ironman in Penticton BC. My first 2 attempts I didn't make the bike cut off.I've heard about the NRG training team through friends and decided to give Nigel a call in the spring. Nigel was very supportive and positive and didn't hesitate about wanting to

    I first met Nigel and Sylvie in 2005 over the Christmas holidays. After completing my first Ironman (IM Wisconsin ’05) a few months earlier, I had mixed emotions about my performance and knew that I could do much better. I had been using a different triathlon coach in preparing for my first Ir

  • Mark Zirbser


    I have been in the sport of triathlon for 18 years and have completed well over 50 triathlons ranging from sprints to 5 Ironman races.Throughout those years I have researched, learned from experience, hired coaches, and have become an NCCP coach myself. Yet with all this experience, Sylvie and the N

    It is all about the right coach¡K (and not about the bike!)I met Nigel at the NRGPT training camp in Riccione, Italy in April 2006. The camp was so impressive, so much fun, and everything was so well organized that as we returned to Toronto, my husband and I were already making plans to join N
