Who we work with
We coach Ironman and 70.3 athletes from first-timers who need a realistic framework to experienced age-groupers hunting podium spots. Most are working professionals who train 10–14 hours a week and can't afford a program that falls apart when life gets complicated.
Long-course preparation is a months-long commitment. We build programs designed to hold up for all of it.
First-time Ironman athletes
Get a structured, realistic build to your first full-distance finish. We'll manage your load, fueling, and pacing so you cross the line strong—not just surviving.
First-time 70.3 athletes
Half-distance racing demands more than most people expect. We'll build your aerobic engine and race-day execution from the ground up.
Age-group competitors chasing podiums
Already finished a few 70.3s or Ironmans? We'll sharpen race-specific fitness, dial in your power and pacing zones, and target the podium in your age group.
Time-crunched athletes
Training for an Ironman doesn't have to consume your life. We build high-quality plans around 8–14 focused hours per week for athletes who have careers and families.
What the coaching covers
Every program is built around a specific race. Training is written for your target Ironman or 70.3, your available weekly hours, and the actual demands of the course you're preparing for—not adapted from a template.

Why coach from Washington, Utah?
We train here. The Snow Canyon climb, the stretch out toward Gunlock, Sand Hollow in the early morning—these aren't just talking points. They're the roads we use for key long rides and race-simulation sessions. When we build a heat acclimation block or structure your course-specific long ride, it comes from firsthand knowledge of this terrain, not a course map PDF.
Remote coaching is available worldwide. If you're flying in for race week or a training camp, we'll build that into your calendar and be on the ground with you.
- • Course-specific taper and build structures for St. George and regional 70.3 events
- • Heat and elevation exposure built into peak training blocks—not an afterthought
- • Nutrition protocols stress-tested in 100°F+ desert conditions
- • Feedback from your actual coach, not a support queue
