"Martha Grinnell has been my coach for over 7 years. I would recommend her to athletes of all levels who want to reach their potential in endurance sports.

Martha gets to know you as a person as well as an athlete. She has a knack for identifying and helping you to improve your weaknesses.

She knows how to challenge you when you need to be pushed, and how to back you off when you need rest.

Most importantly, Martha understands the mental aspects of endurance racing and is always there with the right advice.”  "!

"I started working with Martha almost a year before my first race and she had me ultra prepared to start my triathlon career.

From nutrition to recovery to super fast transition. Martha covered all the bases and tailored everything to my lifestyle and ability.

Martha's programs are not cookie cutter programs for the masses; she really takes care of her athletes"!

“Internet coaches are a “dime a dozen,” but Martha Grinnell is not. 

She understands that there are two critical aspects to training: the physiological as will as the psychological. 

Martha has a keen sense of how to keep these two areas balanced in an athlete; She has a genuine concern for you as an athlete and a whole person. 

Martha’s programs are not formulaic, but designed with each athlete in mind.

She took essentially four aerobically fit women with full-time jobs and families and developed us into a cohesive team of ultra-fit distance cyclists by the end of a 15-week period.”
