The company formed to provide athletes of all ability levels with the knowledge, structure, accountability, expert guidance and feedback to educate and motivate individuals so they can attain their fitness goals and race to their full potential.

The same philosophy that guided these athletes to their success has assisted hundreds of individuals in achieving their goals of completing everything from a first 5km Run to an ultra trail marathon, to a century bike ride to the 1200km Paris-Brest-Paris ultra cycling event. If your event involves endurance, we have the tools and support structure for you to succeed.

Coach Paul
Current Residence: Bend, Oregon
Hometown: California, Missouri, Kuwait, Texas…yep, I moved around…
Education: Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology (Cum Laude) from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, Certified USA Triathlon Level 2 Coach, IROMAN U Certified Coach, UESCA Ultra Running Certified Coach & TrainingPeaks Level 2 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 can learn 🙂 Upon graduating I set out to work for myself and have started two businesses from scratch. I sold off one and still run the most current business, and my passion, Revolution Endurance (former Kinney Multisport).

Why Revolution Endurance?
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 an 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 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 to 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 Kinney
Current Residence: Bend, Oregon
Hometown: Osnabrück, Germany
Education: Bachelor’s in Business Administration, Menopause 2.0 – 5-week course by Stacy Sims, Ph.D, November 2022, UESCA Certified Endurance Sports Nutrition Coach, IRONMAN 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 in 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.

Hobbies
Besides triathlon…Yoga, hiking, traveling the world, dogs, coffee
Did you know?
My roommate signed me up for my first IRONMAN (Vineman in 2012) and told me after the fact what I would 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!
