About Coach Paul

PK SJITPaul Kinney is a USA Triathlon Certified Level 1 Coach, a USA Cycling Level 2 Coach and Team in Training Certified Tier 2 Triathlon Coach, and has been training triathletes and duathletes since 2001. He has since expanded his offerings to include cyclists, runners, and walkers through the creation of Kinney Multisport in 2009.

Paul's first approach to coaching involves creating a program that maximizes an athlete's available time with focused heart rate and/or power based trainings. Limiting the amount of time spent on unproductive workouts means an individual will progress faster, with fewer injuries, resulting in more time to do the important things in life.Death Ride

The second approach to Paul's individualized training programs involves a continuous two-way communication between coach and athlete. This important aspect of any training program allows for workouts to be highly customized and the signs of over or under training can be immediately detected, again, resulting in faster progress for the athlete and fewer injuries.

Paul's racing experience is widely varied and includes triathlons, ranging in distance from sprint to full Ironman races, off-road triathlons, duathlons, century rides & bicycle racing. Paul is a four time Ironman finisher & four time 5 pass Death Ride finisher. Other notable accomplishments are: overall and age group wins and podium finishes at Tinley's Adventures 2005-2007; fastest M35-39 bike split at Wildflower Olympic 2009; numerous top 10 age group finishes at races like Wildflower, Pacific Grove, Vineman's Showdown & Tinley's Triathlons. Other interests include auto racing, in which he began competing at various levels in 1990, travel, and anything outdoors.
