AS AN ATHLETE
JulieAnne's past and current athlete bio, including race results, PRs, and education and qualfifications. She has just debuted as a master (over 40) winning masters and overall titles at the Big Sur Marathon (2:51:10).
AS A COACH
She's got an Ironman PR of 9:08, and a 9:21 PR in Kona. She's got a medical background and writes some of the most popular training articles on SlowTwitch. She coaches a mix of pros and amateurs, about half of them preparing for an Ironman or other ultradistance race, half for sprints or mid-distance racing. Some of her athletes have written below about the experience of being personally coached by JulieAnne.

AS A PERSON
JulieAnne has many sides, but one that is singular is her love for animals, and her care for their regard. That is evident in her work for animals rescued from difficult circumstances, and Semicolon Animal Rescue is her labor of love.
JulieAnne started racing triathlons in 1987 and immediately found that long distance was her niche with a second place finish in the Canadian Ironman, a race she would win twice (1989 & 1992) along with a second place finish to Erin Baker in 1991. (JulieAnne still holds the bike course record at 4:59:01, and her 9:08 at Canada in 1992 placed her 12th overall and is still the Canadian women's national record for the Ironman distance.
She has finished second in the Hawaiian Ironman (9:21:40), third in the Zofingen Powerman (7:21:32 in 1993), first in the New Zealand Ironman in 1993 (9:38:39, 22nd overall, bike course record). JulieAnne also won the Ironman World Series in 1992, a competition no longer in existence today.
In 1993 JulieAnne contracted a gastrointestinal malady while racing the Canadian Ironman which caused her to withdraw from the race. She raced six weeks later in the Hawaiian Ironman and directly after finishing the race (in 9:36) was taken to the hospital in Kona, where half her large intestine was removed. The reason for her GI tract problems has never been discovered but, whatever it was, excising the offending part of her intestine (along with two successive surgeries) seemed to cure the problem.
JulieAnne returned to the Ironman the following year to finish the race in seventh place, exorcising the demon of the year before. She was also awarded Triathlete Magazine's "Comeback of the Year Award", but this was her last Ironman.
JulieAnne still races, but her racing is limited to running, which always was and continues to be her favorite of the three individual sports (although Julie still continues to cross-train in cycling, and rides her Computrainer regularly). In recent years she has concentrated on the half-marathon distance, and in the last year has finished three halves in times between 1:16:24 and 1:17:50.
One consistent theme throughout JulieAnne's career is her refusal of sponsorship offers other than by companies whose products she has already used successfully prior to such financial arrangements. The companies with whom she is currently affiliated are GPush, GU, Computrainer, and Louis Garneau and, yes, she was a cash buyer of the products produced by each of those companies prior to any other arrangement.
JulieAnne has also been a national spokesperson for the American Lung Association (she has been an asthmatic since childhood). She is pictured at right with Walter Cronkite, at the opening of American Lung Association documentary "Every Breath You Take." When she's not running, writing, or coaching, she is gardening and taking care of the six dogs.
Some of the athletes JulieAnne coached during 2002:
Paul Walsh: He just finished IM Japan and for the second year surprised himself and just about everyone else with another stellar performance.
David Toman: David Toman is an American living in Taipei, Taiwan. He has just set yet again another IM PR, this time 10:43. He was a 12:07 finisher in his "pre-JulieAnne" days.
Jeffrey Cooper: Met his goal in the Lausanne (Switzerland) Marathon, and is now training for IM Canada.
Some of the athletes JulieAnne coached during 2001:
Randy Krieger: First-time Ironman finisher (IM California 15:50), and the Great Buckeye (half-IM) Challenge.
Nancy Coakley: Finished 2001 Canadian Ironman 18th out of 71 in her age-group (40-44), far exceeding her expectations, and in her first Ironman!
Eric Reitav: Takes his training very seriously and religiously follows the schedule laid out for him. Last year was Eric's first Ironman and he completed Canada in 16:25. He started out with JulieAnne in the beginning of '99 with a goal of taking several hours off of his time. Eric completed the very tough Ironman Lake Placid course in 12:26 this year.
Tim Hampton: Just competed in the World Long Course Duathlon Championships in British Columbia, Canada. Tim had hopes of finishing in the top five of his age-group. Instead, he almost cracked the top five overall (!), while winning his age-group. Tim is not only the best amateur duathlete in the world for his age, he is a heart attack survivor!
Some of the athletes JulieAnne coached during 2000:
Mike Llerandi: Mike is not only a top age-group athlete, he is himself a triathlon coach. He is also the brother of top former-pro Nate Llerandi.
Sandra Smith: Competed in her first Ironman with the goal of finishing in 13 hours. Sandra finished the Canadian Ironman in 13:04.
Frank Keane: Also a first-time Ironman athlete, this 34-year-old athlete finished Canada in 11:04.
Amy Davis: Raced in Canada with her talented husband Deshon (4:50 in Wildflower this year in his first half), who is also coached by JulieAnne. Amy was yet again another first-time Ironman racer and just hoped to finish. Amy battled an inflamed back and had to do much of her run training in the pool. Amy surprised herself with a very strong 12:41.
Some of the athletes JulieAnne coached during 1999:
Andy Tumpowski: Parcicipated in Ironman Lake Placid in 1999, his second Ironman. Andy almost decided to bag his Ironman race this year because of an immense travel and work schedule, but hung in there and was rewarded with an improved his PR--just over 12 hours--for his efforts. In Y2K Andy will leverage last year's Ironman training against a season of shorter races, and more of them.
Scott Bodjack: Last year raced Ironman Canada to a 13:17 finish. This year, with JulieAnne as his coach, Scott improved to 11:52 at Ironman Lake Placid. Scott did his training and lowered his PR while juggling a very busy and strenuous work schedule.
Rick Murray: Not a tri guy yet... but he did do the Leadville 100-miler mountain bike race... winning the gold belt on his first attempt, the best-ever rookie finish!
Dave Fish: A clydesdale triathlete and a very good one, he placed second in Mrs. T's in Chicago and third at San Jose International. Dave will be competing in his first Ironman race in Florida on Nov. 6, 1999.
Comments by David Toman: I'm a stubborn person by nature. I'm competitive and always seek to master any endeavor I attempt. In endurance athletics, sometimes those qualities can be pretty detrimental, as that proverbial patience is the greatest virtue and maturity can take a long time to achieve even for an adult athlete. Over the course of more than two years under JulieAnne's coaching guidance I have completed three Ironmans, improving from 12:07 before I hired her to my current PR of 10:43. But the numbers don't tell the whole story.
In the past stubbornness and impetuousness had me second-guessing coaches. Over a prolonged period during which I continued to exhibit these "qualities," JulieAnne firmly and steadily demonstrated The Way through her constant reinforcement, positive encouragement (even when I deserved a verbal spanking), and custom-tailored program of action. As a result, I have matured greatly as an athlete, come to have a greater understanding and appreciation of my qualities and capacities as an athlete and a person, and have learned to put complete trust in JulieAnne's guidance. The improved times are nice, but most importantly JulieAnne has helped me to achieve consistency and balance while maintaining a year-round Ironman program. Having just aged up for the first time since I began competing in triathlons, I am confident that maintaining this relationship and course of action will help me continue to refine my fitness and win me a trip to Kona before long. Even if it doesn't it is still absolutely rewarding for the daily journey. I'm proud and honored to have JulieAnne as my coach.
Comments by Jeffrey Cooper: Thanks so much for helping me achieve my goal of running under 4 hours [in the Lausanne Marathon]. It has given me lots of confidence for next year’s IM Canada marathon. I think the 180 km bike warm up will help my legs not cramp up and I think I can just have a great run. More importantly, I realize my mental strength is exponentially better now than two years ago when we started out. My head is in such a better space, I am tougher yet at the same time able to adapt and go with the flow of the race. Results are important but now I can enjoy the process of racing in and of itself and not just judge the race by time. I know you told me I would be a very different athlete working with you and it is 100% true. Thanks for all you have done for me.
Comments by Randy Krieger: Do you remember last year when I first started preparing for the Disney Marathon and you asked me my goal? I said to run it in 4:40. Your reaction was to just set a goal to finish, and then we'd work toward that time later. Do you remember?
Well, I'm proud to report that I ran the Detroit Marathon today in 4:41. I couldn't be happier -- I hit 20 miles at 3:30, did mile 21 in 10:00 flat, but struggled at the end with my stomach. Nonetheless, I feel a great sense of accomplishment.
Comments by Nancy Coakley: I cannot thank you enough. You totally rock! I put all my faith in those weekly schedules and it paid off beyond my wildest expectations. 12:31:54. 18th out of 71 in my age group.
I felt strong right up to the final 10k and even then it was no worse than the last part of the Ottawa marathon. I took it easy, as I wanted to be in good shape for my family at the finish. There were many special moments involving family and friends throughout the day but the best one was at the very end when I was desperately searching for Joel and he just popped out of the crowd with about 25 meters to go. I was groping for his hand yelling "run with me Hon" and he replied in his newly acquired deep voice, "No Mom, run as fast as you can and I'll videotape you". Well, I have the coolest finisher’s photo, as there he is right beside me looking like a professional cameraman. So special…
JulieAnne, I'm thrilled with the level of fitness I've achieved with your guidance. It feels great and I'd love to improve on it. Sandy did my body analysis before we left and I was 133 pounds and 15 percent body fat: probably the best shape of my life. That was my ultimate goal. Thank you for helping me realize it. I couldn't have done it without you!
Comments by Mike Llerandi: Things were going to be different this year. After 17-years of directing my own multi-sport training efforts -- including six years of coaching athletes myself, both locally and around the world via the Internet -- I decided that my approach to the 2000 Season would include a fresh look at my capabilities, a redefinition of my goals, and a consideration of whatever resources were available to help achieve them.
A little background: I've been an active, competitive triathlete since 1983. If you had asked me at any point early in my career if I'd ever use the services of a coach, I would have cited Dave Scott, Ken Glah, Cam Widoff, and countless other self-sufficient pros and elite age groupers to conclude that "if they don't need one, I don't need one." After all, triathlon is a thinking man's sport, right? And if a situation calls for some heavy analysis, hey, the more the better as far as I'm concerned.
That said, much has changed in my life during the past 17-years: starting a family, moving cross-country, and changing jobs 3-4 times. Of course, these changes don't hit all at once, and a hyper-analytical guy like me can convince himself that any challenges that come up can just be factored into the equation as life goes on. Reality was another thing entirely: what resulted over time was a steady increase in stress manifesting itself in every aspect of my never-ending streak of busy days.
It was during the process of determining my triathlon goals for the 2000 season that I decided that I had to get over my emotional blocks and find a way to get some help. Yes, break down and find a coach. Having been one myself, I knew a bit about the market and had a sense of what I did and didn't need. After some rapid-fire browsing on the topic, I was happily astounded when I stumbled across JulieAnne White's section on the Slowtwitch website, where she articulated my own coaching style very succinctly:
"I am not a motivational coach [neither am I]. I work well with athletes who have no trouble getting up in the morning to do the workout [that's me]. I work best with athletes who have a long term set of goals [me again]. I will not take the place of a specific technique coach [we have a winner!]." JulieAnne's own experience and successful racing career at the Ironman distance made the decision that much easier.
The Bottom Line: My Results I had to focus my racing schedule considerably -- no room for anything on the periphery -- with a concentration on just four triathlons this season. The results reflected this focus, leading to a very rewarding finish: 9:49 Ironman, 112th overall, 6th in M35-39 and just a scant 3-1/2 minutes shy of that elusive 5th place podium slot. That's just close enough to ensure that I'll be coming back...with some assistance, of course!

Comments by Eric Reitav: I have competed in triathlons since 1993, and Ironman triathlons since 1998. I have had several coaches throughout the years. My training experience under JulieAnne over the last year has been enormously successful, thoroughly enjoyable, very demanding, but also a lot of fun, stress free, and really rewarding!
A heart rate monitor, in my opinion, is the most important training device, one can have in order to measure one's progress and performance. The nice thing about working with JulieAnne, is that all of her workouts are heart-rate based, something I was lacking with other coaches.
One overlooked aspect in any athlete's training regime is proper rest and recovery (especially between races), proper nutrition and mental preparation. JulieAnne addressed all of these issues and more for me in my training, which had been lacking under other coaches.
JulieAnne is very patient, personable, and most importantly, she cares about all of her clients. Unlike a lot of recipe-type coaches out on the market, she'll tailor your schedule around your own personal needs and improve your performance if you're willing to put forth the dedication and effort.
Training for an Ironman triathlon is no easy feat for anyone. Through proper nutrition, mental preparation, and proper rest and recovery between races, I have had a very successful year working with JulieAnne. I have felt refreshed, energized, and relaxed throughout the whole training period. At no time have I felt overtrained, fatigued or burned out, as I had in the past under other coaches. In my opinion, JulieAnne White-Empfield is clearly the best triathlon coach in the world!
With JulieAnne, I was able to knock 4 hours off of my Ironman time in merely eight months. I completed my first Ironman event, Ironman Canada in 1998, in a time of 16:25:34. With JulieAnne's coaching I was able to complete Ironman USA in 1999 with a finishing time of 12:26:17, a four-hour improvement!
JulieAnne White-Empfield has clearly brought my training to another level--and into the stratosphere! I feel really fortunate to have her as my coach! With these monumental gains in my performance, I truly believe a qualifying spot in the prestigious World Triathlon Ironman Championship in Hawaii will become a reality for me, in the not too distant future!

DeShon and I first learned about JulieAnne through "bike aerodynamics guru" John Cobb (that ol' guy who designed the helmet Lance Armstrong wore in his victorious time trial at the Tour de France!). I had discussed with John the idea of getting a coach for DeShon and me as we were going to be preparing for our first Ironman distance race at IMC 1999. John recommended JulieAnne to us, mainly highlighting the fact that JulieAnne would get us to the start line healthy, strong and injury-free.
I contacted JulieAnne in October 1998 and that is when our training with her began. I'm sure had we elected to train "on our own" for this feat we would have both had absolutely no direction at all and would have certainly overtrained.
It has now been exactly one year since we started and we both love the training prescription and nutritional advice that JulieAnne has to offer. She definitely schedules our training around our work schedules and obviously keeps in mind that we need our time together as well. JulieAnne has an uncanny way of being understanding yet demanding at the same time, which will ready you for any event during your season.
Of the three disciplines, swimming is definitely my weakness; but, JulieAnne has helped me through vigorous swim workouts to improve tremendously; I actually look forward to my swim workouts now!!
As proof that she individualizes our training, I discovered in early Jan. 1999 that I had suffered a stress fracture in my lower back which was causing nerve irritation in my legs, greatly affecting my running. This was obviously an old injury that had flared up over the winter months. JulieAnne immediately restructured my workouts, incorporating deep water running as cross training for me. That, coupled with stabilizing strength training allowed me to compete in several events prior to Ironman Canada and a 12:41 finish at the IMC event.
In summary, it is my opinion that training with JulieAnne is the best thing that has ever happened to DeShon and me in our trathlon career. She has made training for this sport a real challenge and at the same time a lot of fun. JulieAnne really shows true care and concern for us as athletes and as human beings, too!
I have yet to meet JulieAnne in person (I'll meet her in Jan. 2000 at the San Diego Marathon), but I must say she is " the best long-distance friend we have"!!

In the fall of 1994, I was introduced to the wonderful world of triathlon. At that time, I literally could not swim for fear of drowning. I purchased a mountain bike and could run a mile or two without stopping. Little did I know that five years later I would be married, and my wife and I would have competed together in a World Championship and in Ironman Canada.
Speaking of Ironman, Amy and I decided that for both of us to be successful in Canada we would need guidance and direction from someone highly successful as an athlete, as well as experienced in coaching athletes of different ages and ability levels.
I joined forces with JulieAnne after our good friend, John Cobb of Bicycle Sports, introduced Amy to her. Both Amy and John spoke very highly of JulieAnne and her uncanny abilities in developing a structured workout schedule and nutritional game plan. Just as important was her knowledge of how you can have a balanced lifestyle with triathlon being part of it. That convinced me that having a personal coach is the way to go.
Today, it is scary to think where my training and nutrition would be without JulieAnne. I experienced some tough and humbling situations in 1999 but have reached greater heights and achievements through those experiences. The time with JulieAnne has allowed me to learn more about myself and how to adjust to AND conquer any situation that may arise. JulieAnne gives us a detailed workout schedule on a weekly basis that is tailored for our individual goals and lifestyles. I've become spoiled by having my workouts for the week in place. This allows a better mental approach heading into each workout. Some of the tools she has used with me on a consistent basis are the Computrainer, deep water running, weightlifting and a sound nutritional program.
JulieAnne has been a real trooper for Amy and me. We are so fortunate to be associated with someone who is known worldwide and is committed to making a difference for everyone she comes into contact with. We look forward to the day when we can meet face to face with her, Dan, and all their canine companions.
Confidence. That is what I received when working with JulieAnne White. My first Ironman experience was all I could have asked for--an enjoyable experience in every facet, as evidenced in my finish photo complete with satisfied smile on my face.
When I toed the line in Penticton, B.C. this past August, I knew completing the distance would not be an issue. I was advised to have three goals: 1) complete the race; 2) have an "ideal" time; and 3) have a time I would be "happy" with. Completing JulieAnne's training program gave me the utmost confidence that I would complete No. 1, and have a decent shot at goal No. 2.......which is what happened to me.
JulieAnne established a detailed training program for me based on my abilities and time available for training. She was extremely flexible with her program, providing me a bi-weekly, day-by-day summary of all workouts to be completed, along with recommended heart-rate efforts. I was especially pleased with her ability to schedule around my hectic work (lots of travel) and racing calendars.
Coming from a running specific (and well coached) background, my first attempts at incorporating swimming & biking into my daily training routine were ineffective. I essentially tried to maintain my current running program and simply add the other two sports.....not a good idea. I quickly realized, after dancing around the fine line of injuries, that I needed a triathlon specific coach. A friend of mine had starting working with JulieAnne and recommended her to me......After a detailed review of my situation, JulieAnne and I decided we were a good fit and started working together.
The following eight months of her program carried me through numerous races, with an overall focus on Ironman Canada August 29. The program JulieAnne designed is a thorough, varied plan, incorporating all of the basics--overdistance, hills/strengthening, speedwork, and easy days. Most importantly, the program was balanced enough on a day to day basis to keep me injury free.
Finally, JulieAnne has extensive experience in the other key aspect of a triathlon program: nutrition. I was able to discuss in detail my daily diet and race needs with her and get great feedback to develop a full-day Ironman race nutrition plan that helped me maintain strength throughout the event.
Much is said about one's mental state and focus during the Ironman and how large an impact it has on your performance. Completing JulieAnne's program gave me the confidence I needed to compete well on that day. As the old Boy Scout motto reads: "Be prepared." I was.

In December 1990, my life as I knew it changed. At only 27, I suffered a heart attack. I was working 80-hour work weeks, traveling between three cities every week and serving as the president of a company. After spending two weeks in the hospital, I was released with strict orders to lose weight and adopt an exercise regimen. But I was not in the clear.
A year later, in December of 1991, I began experiencing additional heart problems. This time around, though, I was issued an ultimatum by my doctors: Slow down my pace and change my outlook on life or die before turning 40. Haunted by a family history of heart problems (my father suffered a fatal heart attack at 47, my uncle at 37 and both of my grandfathers), I realized the dire necessity of a total life change. At 28, I awoke to the reality of my life and began to take charge of it.
With a new perspective, I began delegating work to others and cut my travel from weekly to once a month. A healthy diet, too, was needed as well as an exercise regimen. Having been an athlete in high school and a professional motorcycle racer in my early twenties, I was no stranger to physical fitness, but running had never factored into the equation. Running did not come easily to me in the beginning; even a half-mile was a difficult task. With a new sense of discipline and commitment, I stuck with the running for the next three years and completed my first 5K in late 1994.
I continued my racing throughout 1995 and '96, running both 5K and 10K races. The more races I ran, the more committed I became to the sport and the more seriously I trained, picking up my distance.
Though my training was coming along well and I was in good physical shape, I couldn't shake a constant sluggish feeling. Tired of my numerous heart disease medications, in June 1995 I asked to be taken off the prescribed medical regimen and to be allowed to consider alternate approaches. After consulting my cardiologist, I opted for a strict diet and a daily dose of various vitamins and nutrients. With the assistance of a cardiologist and a nutritionist, I had extensive blood work performed; I began treating my disease, not masking it. After two months of this new treatment, I underwent a series of tests. The doctors were shocked at the results: My HDL, which was at an alarmingly low 7 at the time of my heart attack and never rose above 23 when I was on prescription medication, was at a level of 38. Now, over four years later, I am proud to say that I have an HDL of 58.
In July 1997, feeling better than I had in many years, I turned my attention to marathons and the laborious task of training for one. Completing my first marathon that December, I had a sense of accomplishment like few others. But the level at which I had been training for the marathon was just beginning to climb. After talking to a friend about duathlons in January, 1998, I purchased a bike and made a commitment to train for a duathlon. The Whistlestop event at Powerman in Alabama provided the venue for my first attempt as a duathlete. With a surprisingly strong finish, I went on to the Strutters Duathlon in St. Angelo, TX and, winning my age group, placed fifth overall. I advanced to the US National Duathlon in New Orleans, LA, where I earned a spot on the US National Team.
With strong finishes posted in several races, I sought out a coach. In July 1999 I met Julieanne White and gained not only a superior coach but a close friend. Her experiences as both an athlete and a coach have been an asset to me. I continue to learn from JulieAnne and am grateful to her for her dedication to me. After a successful racing season, I landed a berth on Team USA and competed in Langley, British Columbia, Canada at the World Endurance Duathlon where I am proud to say I finished first in my age group. Shortly thereafter, I was chosen for the short course Team USA which competed in the ITU World Championship in Huntersville, NC. These finishes, though impressive, would not have been possible without the coaching and personal commitment of Julieanne. I owe my many successes to JulieAnne.
Asking her to remain as my coach for the 2000 season was easy and I am excited to say that she has accepted my proposal. I am truly blessed to have found not only a world renowned coach but also a friend.
With my faith in God and my commitment to duathlons, I sincerely I believe my life has been saved.

My first endurance event was the Detroit Marathon in 1995. Since that time, I have participated in a number of on and off-road triathlons, duathlons, mountain bike time trial races and cross country mountain bike races, and running races. It was not until I crossed the finish line at Ironman Canada in 1998 that I thought I may need some help to improve my performance.
During my training for Ironman Canada, I knew of several people that were getting their training schedules through an online coach. I had been getting advice from a friend who was a long distance cyclist, but nothing very formal. A few weeks prior to my first Ironman, I got a peek at one of these online training schedules from one of my training buddies. Like most people training for their first Ironman, the taper is sometimes the most difficult time, so I followed the final few weeks of this schedule. I remember waking up the day of the event feeling the best I had felt all summer. I had a fantastic rookie Ironman experience. So who was the online coach??? JulieAnne White.
After Ironman Canada, I have used JulieAnne exclusively in my training and preparation for races. I have completed the New York City marathon, Powerman Alabama, the Muncie Endurathon and Ironman USA Lake Placid, under JulieAnne's tutelage. From my viewpoint, the best aspect of JulieAnne's online coaching is her ability to prepare someone for a specific race, as she unknowingly did for me in Canada. Apart from the individualized weekly schedules that led up to race day, JulieAnne provided me with race day warm-up plans, as well as a plan for the actual race itself, which included nutritional information and heart rate schedules that I should shoot for at certain key points along the race. I remember that such a plan was laid out for me at Powerman Alabama and I followed it religiously. The result is that I had the best race of my short endurance career. No, I did not win. I did not even come in second. Honestly, I can not remember what place I finished, but what I do remember was that when I crossed the finish line, I knew I had given everything I had that day. Unfortunately, in the past, I would either finish the race thinking that I could have done better, or I would falter before I reached the end. JulieAnne has helped me to realize my potential, which, in my eyes, is a true accomplishment for me as an athlete.
JulieAnne has given me about 10 weeks of active rest to recover from the Ironman, as well as my recent job and location changes. I look forward to her upcoming training schedules to prepare me for the summer of 2000.
