MEMBER TESTIMONIALS

“The start has been great. Some accountability is VERY good for me. I am noticing a lot of zone 1 & 2 in the plan. I am trying to really follow the recommendations in the videos and have realized I spend way too much time in what I would guess is zone 3 on my easy days. It is nice not to feel wrecked after exercising!”

Anne S.

“Week 6. On the 10″ sprint day and flatter course, it was a new sensation to feel my legs churning as fast as I could go! I know I’m making progress. Yay! I am so happy to have a schedule of planned workouts, and I am surprised how motivating an online community of fellow training club members can be. Thank you.”

Cathy C.

“Overall analysis of the week: apparently I love intervals!! I am thoroughly enjoying having a plan to follow and I’m feeling pretty good despite the increase in activity – recovery seems to be reasonably fast and I’m always ready to go by the next day, although I do appreciate the rest day. I really like to spend as much time as possible outside and it’s been fun having something to focus on while I’m out there. Thumbs up so far!”

Cindy M.

“This week was able to complete the long workout and long intervals. It has been more than a year since I have been doing 2 hour runs or 45 minutes of intensity. It feels good to be able to still complete these. Following the training plan is helping me justify the longer workouts. Prior to following this training plan, I would say I only have time for a one-hour workout.”

Dave W.

“My goal is to be as fit as possible during my 3rd act – I’m 71 and am semi-retired with full retirement coming up in the next 6 to 12 months. I am clearly developing more endurance, am able to go longer with less fatigue, although not able to complete 6 days in a row at this point. Am definitely sleeping better and feel like my digestion is improved as well.”

Greg H.

“Huge thanks for creating the NSL Training Club—I’ve been waiting for something like this! Dasha, your upbeat energy gets me moving every time. Alex, I really value the thought you put into our plan. I was in decent shape before, but these last few months have reminded me how powerful consistent training can be.”

Jeff T.

“I am genuinely surprised and delighted that despite my busy work/kids schedule, doing this program has helped me increase from my prior exercise routine (4-5 days of regular cardio 30-45 min a week and very inconsistent strength training) to doing everything on the training plan calendar. It feels fantastic. Even though I felt like I was in shape last winter, I do think there has been some magic to this training.”

Caroline

“I really appreciate the encouragement and accountability as well as the training plan specifics. My habits are definitely changing! It is a stretch for me to be trying to do this right now with work/family obligations but I love it and consider it the thing I do for myself.”

Lisa H.

“Just a quick note to put in another good word and a thank you for all the great workouts. I went skate skiing yesterday and for first time, everything seemed to click. My form and timing fell into place, my economy was better and my fitness overall was stronger. I still have a ton to master, but I have never felt better on skate skis. Finally!”

Michael L.

“I am 100% delighted with the Training Club. The goals, clarity, fun weekly overlays, and Coach Dasha’s enthusiasm and well-targeted recommendations have been outstanding. It’s been a game changer for my fitness, running/xc ski outlook, and goal-setting in Training Peaks. The strength exercises are perfect, and the running program improved my speed and distance with less recovery time. It feels personal, not remote, and the effectiveness of this online system is a wonderful surprise.”

Justin M.

“I’m super happy with how this season went! The training plan took all the mental effort out of planning, which was a huge help with my busy schedule. I could just get out there and train. Despite working full-time, I maintained high volumes, stayed injury-free, and took 35 minutes off my Birkie PB. Everything felt sustainable, and it was a total success!”

Kelly H.
