GoFast Coaching clients like to tell me how much they appreciate the assistance I give them. Here are some that I have enjoyed receiving:

Jim G: [category 4 road racer]: Wow! Six months ago, I never thought I'd be able to race. Now I've completed my first two races and upgraded a category. I couldn't have done it without you, Coach!"

Ken R: [recreational rider and double-bypass patient]: Working with you is very easy. You pay attention to my personal goals and my lifestyle and create a plan that fits both very well. I am very happy with working with you and GoFast Coaching.

Michael R: [category 3 road racer, U-23]: Hey Andrew, Thanks for helping me with coaching. Your advice is great and you’re always making me think about what I’m doing in my program. Tomorrow is my b-day and my training is right where I want it to be at this time. Although I have no power tap (still is an unknown issue) I am still able to gauge my own efforts to an extent. I feel I am getting stronger everyday.

Ken W: [recreational cyclist]: I love that you actually RIDE with you clients. I’ve seen coaches who ride occasionally but not on a regular basis. I find it very effective.

Dan K: [recreational cyclist]: (Training with you for the AIDS Ride) was incredible. I was in the top 100 (out of 1840) everyday, I had so much energy, just no issues or soreness. Thanks for all your help. And… How do you know all this stuff???????? This [training plan] is pretty elaborate. 

Jeff K: [amateur road racer]: Thanks for your feedback and caring. You’re a great coach.

2007 Power Training Camp with Hunter Allen. Solvang, CA [Feedback directed to the organizer, Robin Horwitz, at Threshold Power. He has kindly allowed GoFast Coaching to use these testimonials because he feels that we deserve the accolades, too. ThanX, Robin! Threshold Summary

Christoph Papenfuss - Alameda, California - 2007 Power Training Camp Participant – Thanks again for the opportunity to participate. The Threshold Power Camp was an amazing experience. The event was executed flawlessly with superior service provided through the entire duration. Being coached by the leading power meter authority, Hunter Allen, enabled me to reach the next level of cycling.

While I had trained with a Powermeter for little over a year, the sessions allowed me to really focus in on several aspects of my annual training routines. The combination of receiving education while on the road, in post-ride 1-on-1 sessions and in the daily lectures provides an opportunity to target various aspects of training with a power meter. Learning from the leading coaches in this area is truely special.

The service provided was excellent and truely exceeded my expectations. The staff was very professional and always anticipated our needs. It almost felt like being a professional rider having team mechanics, support cars and staff available daily. The group of riders was well assembled and I have made new friends on this trip. The routes were not only beautiful but also very challenging.

Thanks again for everything!

Abigail Lufkin - Santa Monica, California - 2007 Power Training Camp Participant
– Just a quick note to thank you again for all of your hard work in organizing such a wonderful camp. It was a fabulous combination of serious learning in a laid back and welcoming environment. I was so impressed at how you kept everything running so smoothly and efficiently- no easy task with 14 competitive cyclists! Thanks again for everything. Hope to see you soon. best, abigail

Margaret Bishop - Middleburg, Virginia - 2007 Power Training Camp Participant – Sorry this has taken me a few days. I think I was more tired than I realized from all that terrific riding. The camp far surpassed even my highest expectaions. The riding was unparalleled and your support and organization made everything fun and safe and relaxing. You make it look easy but I am sure it was a ton of work! The opportunity to work with Hunter and Adnan really added to the experience. The first thing I did when I got home was make all new cool graphs on Cycling Peaks. Thanks for putting everything together. I so enjoyed meeting you and hope to do another camp next year. Good luck with your season.

Gene Raephaelian - Santa Barbara, California - 2007 Power Training Camp Participant – Thanks for the mail message. I can’t thank you, Hunter and Adnan enough for a great experience. You guys put on a first class camp. 

If you get chance I’d love to see the video Hunter shot of me suffering like a dog. 

Thanks again and enjoy the TT today!!!

Larry C - Pasadena, California – 2007 Power Training Camp Participant - 
I thought the camp was great. I thought the coaching from Hunter and Adnan was super. I was hoping you'd ride a bit with us. Oh well, perhaps next time. I thought the help from Matt and Jill was super. Thank you again and it would appear the 3 of us are looking good at this time for a return trip next year should your camp be similar.

Tom Clisby, New Jersey - 2007 Power Training Camp Participant - I wanted to thank you again for an Excellent camp experience! Everything exceeded my expectations. From the time the plane wheels hit the ground, in Santa Barbara on Sunday, till lift off the following Sunday, you seem to have everything covered! Fantastic coaches and support staff, epic rides around Solvang and all the little details in between that ensured, all I had to do was think about riding! I think what says it all, is that a bunch of the other campers and I were already talking about coming back next year, before the camp was even over!

Please feel free to use any of the above as a testimonial, I could go on and on, but tried to keep it short, or I could write more if it would help, everyone in my office got to hear about it whether they wanted to or not today, and they all said, man, you really had a good time, I need a vacation like that! 

International Feedback:

I’ve been active in international cycling trips and sporting events for several years and have been fortunate to have worked with some very talented athletes. Many of them have since become good friends and who continue to assist me and I to assist them whenever possible. We’ve forged some great relationships through our common interests and support of each other.

Kristof Beyens - Belgian National Track and Field Team - 100m, 200m, 100x4 Relay. Lieve Van Mechelen - Trainer: We are very glad. It [the 2006 European Union Championships] has been an amazing competition. 200m Series 20.61sec; Quarter 20.70sec; Semis 20.62sec and Final 20.57sec. No words are enough to express our feelings. Thanks for helping and for following the competition.


Robin Horwitz [Director, 2006 World Deaf Cycling Championships]: “Thanks so much for taking the time to head down to the velodrome and help the team with a variety of workouts. We all had lunch after the workout and we were saying that the track session we had was the best training session of all weekend. All of the riders were able to identify their weakness and know what they need to work on.”


Luc Daelmans [Belgian Elite Racer, winner King of the Mountains, 2006 Herentals-l’Alpe d’Huez]: “Thank you, coach! You’re a star for us. You earned this trophy as much as I did.”


Filip Van Lerberge [Belgian Elite Racer, teammate to Luc D.]: “You’re very good and your training is helpful. We could not have won the king of the mountains trophy without your help.”



Koen Bollen [Belgian Elite Racer, teammate to Luc D., winner KOM 2001-Tour of the Mediterranean Sea ]: “Your race tactics are amazing. You helped Luc win on an almost daily basis, kept him focused and sharp and keen on winning. You helped all of us, in fact."

Koen Bollen and Gert Steegmans

Rudi Torrekens [Belgian Coach]: “We won the KoM with your help. Thank you very much!”
