What our athletes have to say about projectpr
When first asking to get some help for a 5K in Feb 2024, I never imagined joining Project PR would push me to prioritize myself. Running and training gave me independence. That 5K turned into many longer runs, and I completed my first half marathon in Jan 2025.

Since joining ProjectPR in October 2023, I’ve experienced nothing but growth. With no prior background in endurance sports, Manny guided me every step of the way as I went from completing a half marathon to crossing the finish line of an Ironman.

At 60, I started competing in triathlons. Manny’s coaching has helped me achieve goals I never imagined, including qualifying for two 70.3 World Championships. His training approach supports athletes of all ages and levels.

After years of training on my own and not seeing results, I joined Project PR. I improved in all three disciplines and became a finisher at IMMTY 2025, beating my estimated time by almost 1.5 hours.

Project PR isn’t just a training team — it’s a family. I’ve been part of several global triathlon teams, but the level of support at Project PR is unlike anything else. Coach Manny is thorough, supportive, and holds you accountable. He inspires athletes to push beyond their limits while creating an incredible community where everyone supports each other’s goals and dreams.
