“I joined Qwik Kiwi in August this year, I had in mind to do Ironman in March 2016 and I decided that I’d tried other forms of remote coaching. Then I really needed someone who had done it and had put other people through it and so that is why I ended up with Qwik Kiwi. Since then I’ve done a wee bunch of duathlons, triathlons, and the half ironman in Rotorua and I’m looking forward to doing Ironman in March.

Ray asked me to write a testimonial for him and my first thought was “absolutely”!
My name is Barb Frost. I am currently 46 years old and have been a runner for over ten years. Last year (2015) I decided to compete in my first half marathon for which I did my own training and subsequently entered the Queenstown NZ full marathon held on 21 November 2015.
