Paul

Current Residence:  San Ramon, California

Hometown:  California, Missouri, Kuwait, Texas…yep, I moved around…

Education:  Bachelors of Science in Industrial Technology (Cum Laude) from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, Certified USA Triathlon Level 1 Coach, IROMAN Certified Coach & TrainingPeaks Certified Coach.

A little personal info about Paul:

Growing up in California, but moving to other parts of the country and overseas in my youth has allowed me to be exposed to other cultures and people that most never experience. Lessons learned from those times living elsewhere I carry with me today and I’m thankful for those encounters in my life. Following graduation from high school in Missouri, I returned to California and have been firmly planted here ever since. After working full-time to put myself through school, I realized that college teaches you absolutely nothing about the real world, but gives you a very expensive, yet fancy diploma to hang on the wall that tells everyone you have the ability to learn :-) Upon graduating I set out to work for myself and have started two business from scratch. I sold off one and still run the most current business, and my passion, Revolution Endurance (former Kinney Multisport).

Coaching Experience:

• USA Triathlon Certified Coach

• IRONMAN Certified Coach

• TrainingPeaks Certified Coach

• Began coaching in 2001 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s duathlon and triathlon programs.

• Continued coaching professionally on a part-time basis providing my services to endurance athletes (triathletes, cyclists & runners) through 2008.

• Created Revolution Endurance (Formerly Kinney Multisport) in 2009 and have been a full-time endurance sports consultant ever since.

Athletic & Coaching Highlights:

• Former USA Triathlon All-American Triathlete

• Current IRONMAN All-World Athlete

• 5-Time Death Ride Finisher

• Coached Ironman Age-Group and Overall Champions.

• Coached multiple Ironman 70.3 and 140.6 World Championship Qualifiers and finishers.

• Proud to have coached hundreds of beginner, intermediate and advanced athletes to achieve their fitness goals and complete events ranging from 5k runs to 100k Ultras, to the 1200k Paris-Brest-Paris bike ride, to IRONMAN & IRONMAN 70.3s all over the globe, including the iconic IRONMAN World Championships.

Why Revolution Endurance (former Kinney Multisport) ?  

The creation of Revolution Endurance came about as a necessity. As my client base began to grow and endurance coaching was becoming my primary source of income it made sense to create and official company. 2009 would arguably not be the best time to start a business, but I had essentially been in business for more than 7 years, just on a part-time basis and more to follow my passion for coaching endurance athletes. Kinney Multisport allowed me to take the official leap into making that passion a full-time job.

Hobbies

Things that go fast. Auto Racing, in particular Formula 1. Travel & hiking. Dogs. I love dogs & chocolate & coffee.

Did you know?

I was being recruited out of high school to play football. Not soccer type football, but American football. Granted, I was 30 pounds heavier at age 18 and thought I might give that a try, but I really wanted to leave the midwest and return to California. So, out the door went football and in came auto racing! I raced cars and shifter karts with decent success from 1990-2001. If you think triathlon is expensive, get into auto/kart racing. All of a sudden doing triathlons or bike racing seems very cheap.

Ilona

Current Residence:  San Ramon, California

Hometown:  Osnabrueck, Germany

Education:  Bachelors in Business Administration, Menopause 2.0 – 5 week course by Stacy Sims, Ph.D – November 2022, UESCA Certified Endurance Sports Nutrition Coach, IROMAN Certified Coach, ISSA Certified Fitness and Sport Nutritionist

A little personal info about Ilona:

I earned dual degrees in Business Administration from Colorado Technical University and Kaethe-Kollwitz University Marburg, Germany. After completing my degrees, I moved to San Francisco where I worked as a Director of Revenue Management.  Working and training for an Ironman encouraged me to find ways to take care of my physical self to optimize performance and recovery. I quickly learned the importance of exercise and nutrition and how they work hand in hand.

But that in and of itself was not enough. The realization came when I noticed that many of my coworkers had poor diets, lacked regular, or any, exercise & possessed a limited desire to make effective lifestyle changes were contributing to the high stress and unhealthy lifestyles that are so commonplace in our society. As a result, I left my corporate job and now assists my husband in running our endurance coaching business based in the San Ramon, California.

Coaching Experience:

• Menopause 2.0 – 5 week course by Stacy Sims, Ph.D.

• UESCA - Certified Endurance Sports Nutrition Coach

• ISSA - Certified Sports and Fitness Nutritionist

• IMU

Athletic Highlights:

• AG Triathlete

• Boston Marathon Qualifier

• Death Ride Finisher

Why Revolution Endurance (Formerly Kinney Multisport) ?  

I started Revolution Endurance Sports and Fitness Nutrition to help athletes be the best they can be through nutrition, just as it has affected my health and triathlon in a positive way. I want to help an athlete achieve their true potential but not at the cost of their long-term health.

Hobbies

Besides triathlon…Yoga, hiking, traveling the world, dogs, coffee

Did you know?

My room mate signed me up for my first IRONMAN (Vineman in 2012) and told me after the fact what I will be doing in my spare time. Let’s do it was my response because: I set my goal, built a path to achieve that goal and work hard until I hit success. REPEAT!
