Erin and the Soles team have pushed me to strive for faster races and healthier/injury-free finishes. Joining the team has pushed me to be a better athlete and I’ve gained some incredible friendships along the way!

Soles Inspired has been my steady beat for five years. I’ve always been active, but didn’t have a team to play hard with. Coach Stone has taught me how to have fun and get results, and how to take care of myself. I always feel ready and excited for my races!

Since I joined the Soles Inspired team I gained a family. Coach Erin has done an excellent job creating a loving and positive community of individuals who genuinely care about getting better and supporting each other.

It takes time to find the right fit for a coach. The community that Erin has created and her devotion to us as athletes has made this one of the best teams of which I have been a part. Through all the changes and unknown that is in the world, our team continues to be a constant source of fulfillment.

Working with Coach Erin Stone has pushed me to achieve things I never thought possible. Even though Multi-sport is a solo adventure, team Soles Inspired is a close knit group that helps each other build and grow. They are like family.

Erin Stone and Soles Inspired has provided me with a competitive community and atmosphere I did not think I would find again after finishing up collegiate athletics. Erin goes above and beyond to understand my goals and works with me to create a flexible training plan that allows for both life and training. She’s helped me to a 45 minute 70.3 PR, along with a half marathon PR and my first marathon finish.

I moved to PDX in 2017 after spending several years trying to find my Tri community a friend introduced me to Erin. I was a week out from a 70.3 in Spain and not mentally prepared, after meeting me once she gave me a call and walked me through everything from course prep, nutrition, hydration and jet lag. After returning from my race I joined the Soles team and couldn’t have asked for a better team and coach. She puts everything into her team and with such a wide range of athletes gets all of us to our goals. Even throughout Covid she has found new ways to get us engaged and stay motivated through Zwift meet ups, virtual races, team triathlons with marked courses and a soon to be training camp weekend.

Thank you to Erin and all my teammates for pushing me beyond what I ever thought I could achieve. Not only have I had some successes, but more importantly, I have made lifelong friends. And that is why I’m a Soles team member.

Working with Erin is fun and challenging. She’s warm and kind – but knows how to kick you in the butt so you continue to see improvements. I’ve seen my speeds and resilience improve immensely since working with her. I would HIGHLY recommend her!

Erin is constantly improving her own craft through courses, reading and certifications. She passes this knowledge to her athletes through swim drills, targeted indoor rides, group workouts on the track, video and article links in our workout notes and much more. Erin has improved my 70.3 time by more than an hour! Beyond just the physical goals she has helped me achieve, she has also built a supportive community where we encourage and inspire each other to achieve our fitness goals. We train together, we race together and we always laugh together. I owe so many fond memories to my friendship with Erin, she is a one of a kind coach!
