Endurance Coaching
Endurance sports are rapidly growing in popularity, and many are looking for their next challenge. If that’s you, you’re in the right place. I’ve have the priviledge of helping triathletes and short distance runners make the transition to ultramarathoner both on and off-road. We work together to create a training plan that will help you meet your goals while making the training load fit into your lifestyle.
Running
You do not have to be a “runner” to do a triathlon or any endurance race! We can work together to make sure you’re using proper form through video analysis, strength training, stretching and a gradual plan to get you where you want to be. I am experienced in helping athletes start running safely and helping them find a pace or walk, run interval tha keeps them on target to meet race time requirements or hit a new PR.
I also understand some individuals have physiological reasons that make running impossible, so I also instruct power-walking techniques as well as the Galloway walk/run method to help you achieve your dream of doing a triathlon within the time restriction. No matter what your reason, I can work with you to make your goal attainable to race.
Swimming
Swimming is the first of the three sports in a triathlon and is the shortest of the three events and takes the least amount of time to complete. Recently there’s been an increase in endurance swimming events as well as Swim/Run events where athletes alternate between swimming and running over varying distances.
I use video analysis to look closely at your swim to help show you how and where to make changes to your swim to improve efficiency.
Biking
“It’s just like riding a bike!” … or is it?! Riding a bike is something most people grew up doing but some haven’t done it since then and now it makes them nervous. From personal experience, riding a bike can be nerve wracking, especially on the road, but it can also be one of the most enjoyable and sustainable forms of exercise throughout life.
Endurance cycling is gaining popularity as many find it to be a very enjoyable and sustainable form of fitness. In the world of cycling, there is often a lot of room for improvement, and a targeted training plan that incorporates cycling workouts, strength, flexibility and cross training can really change the game!
