Ray has helped me loads of the past couple of years. His knowledge and enthusiasm is second to none. He has helped me with everything from my schedule, my constant bombardment of questions and understanding the data that is recorded onto my training peaks account. Even when i ask questions on forums (sometimes i think i ask too many to Ray directly, haha) Ray is the first one to respond with a long and detailed answer. At times i honestly dont know what i could of done without his help. I love writing my own plans but having that extra guidance and reassurance that my sessions are correct for me and that im not wasting my time is fantastic. Keep up the great work Ray, and if im asking to many questions just tell me to back off, haha.

I started working with Ray at the end of May with less than two months to train for a 26km hilly run in the Queen Charlotte sounds. Due to injury and fitness, I was pretty much starting from the beginning with the training. Through following the training plan I was not only able to get to the start line but finish the run with a smile on my face. Having a training plan to follow ensured that I achieved my training goals and I was well prepared for the event. I’m now planning my next event and looking forward to more training and getting faster and fitter!

I’m 9wks into a beginner running program. And I’ve gone from not having exercised for over a year (plus being well over weight), to being able to jog 5km. I didn’t believe I could do it. But Ray’s knowledge and planned schedule is definitely proving me otherwise. So if you want to get started... Ray’s your Coach!!👍🏼

Ive only been with Ray for 4 weeks but already can feel an improvement In my performance. Its great to have my schedule planned correctly and has taken the guesswork out of each workout and put the fun back in. Ive found him very encouraging and supportive and as an older new runner this is important in building up my confidence. Really looking forward to the coming years running. Thanks Ray!

Coach Ray doesn't just do a "set and forget" programme. He analyses each session and provides valuable feedback (including praise when deserved). He knows his stuff and this soon brings results. Every day since being on the team I feel fitter and stronger and eager for the next challenge. I've come to realise that it's more about training smarter, not harder. He's a top coach and anyone who has a goal and the determination to work towards it are very lucky to have him provide a training programme to help achieve it. The support of other athletes on the Qwik Kiwi team helps too to make you feel you're not alone on your journey. "You don't have to be great to start but you have to start to be great"

I've been with Coach Ray /Qwik Kiwi Coaching for a few years now - ever since I decided I wanted to do an Ironman. Ray was really supportive and encouraging and the sessions he put together for me got me to the best physical place for me to achieve my goal. When I got injured Ray made adjustments to my training so I could keep doing what I could and not go backwards too much, and if life got in the way we just worked around it. Its been a great collaborative effort with lots of communication, support & encouragement. Any goal YOU want to achieve - whether its running 5km, biking 20km, swiming 3km or doing an Ultraman Ray will get you there

Qwik kiwi endurance spots Endurance sports consultant. I am really enjoying the app for my training. It is simple to use and gives me the ability for getting structured workouts from my coach. My coach has analyzed the gap between where I am currently achieving and where I need to be, then it is all available online in the app. I also love being able to customize my workouts as it gives me much more convenience. I can adjust my training times and days according to my other commitments. There is nothing more satisfying for my motivation than knowing I am progressing. I know my effort is paying off and it is extremely satisfying watching my increases. This is particularly motivating when looking at the visuals. My schedule from the pulse page changes colour when I complete the training. This is particularly satisfying when I see the planned training against the actual training I achieved. With the app I am confident that I am working efficiently and effectively and I can also join others in the social groups who share my goals. I found with the app I am much more successful and motivated than previously. I know I will reach my goals, I have excellent support and structure for my training. I also know I only have to ask to get further support if I need it or if I plateau. I would thoroughly recommend Qwik Kiwi. You should try it. You wont be disappointed.

I have been using Qwik Kiwi since 2006 to take the guesswork out of the training I need to do for a variety of events. The personalised training programme from Qwik Kiwi / Coach Ray features many of the workouts he publishes in his Coach Ray/Qwik Kiwi blog. They have been successful in getting me to the start line of many events of various lengths and disciplines (triathlon, duathlon, cycling short and long distances, time trials etc, adventure races, running events). The workouts coupled with my personal desire and commitment to achieve are a win-win for me !

2 days ago The Rotorua Half Marathon at the Blue Lake is done n dusted. Last year this was the first run I'd done in 6 weeks while I waited for a spiral fracture in my foot to heal. I did continue with cycling. This year I had 2 months unplanned time off training and I've only been back training for 6 weeks - running & strength training only. So I was quite pleased to shave off 30mins on last year's time. . . . #run #runner #running #halfmarathon #21km #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #coachray #coachraynz #qwikkiwi #qwikkiwicoaching #consistency #consistencyisthekey
