Endurance Coaching

Depending on what technology each athlete has access to, and what type of testing we feel is suitable for that athlete, we do individualize our athletes training zones. This can either be based on perceived exertion, heart rate, power, speed/pace, or other methods available to us. Rest assured that 100% of our programs receive individualized training zones.

While we don’t currently have registered nutrition professionals on our staff, we are happy to help with professional recommendations when needed. What is included is the benefit of our coaches helping you by providing some nutritional strategies for fluid and fuelling related to performance.

After the initial 3 month committment, you can pause for up to 2 weeks with the basic plans, and up to 1 month on the advanced and pro packages.

One of the main complaints we hear from unhappy athletes that switch to our coaching is that they felt in the past like their coach was treating them like a robot, or a number. Our coaching is different because we only take on a small number of athletes, so it allows us to get to know our athletes better – and get pumped when you’re racing! No need to send us a reminder – we’re right there cheering you on and engaged in the process.

Yes our Advanced and Pro Coaching plans are 100% customized, nothing is cookie cutter here, and that is reflected in our pricing. Even the Basic Plan is customized to your own training zones and intensities, and through your group coaching calls, things can be further customized. On the Advanced and Pro packages, more individualization is included: everything from Yearly Training Plan, to your volume, to your intensity, your drills, your feedback, to your strength program, and your progressions are individualized, because we believe this is how to make the best gains in fitness the fastest.

Everyone on our team works together on your plan in one way or another. Though, there is the possibility to choose your coach depending on availability and package level – just send us a message on the intake form after purchase to request someone specific. Rest assured that every client gets minimum 1 exercise physiologist and 1 endurance coach working with them for the best possible results. 

The Advanced and Pro Coaching packages include at least 1 call with your coach, because we think getting to know you better is the main way we can deliver the best possible training plan to you.

Yes, in the Advanced and Pro packages.

Our Basic Coaching is the least expensive plan we offer for now. We also do offer a few pre-made plans that are available for sale on our Training Peaks account HERE. 

Yes we have coached an array of ultra-marathon, 5k to marathon, triathletes, and occupational athletes like fire fighters, in their endurance goals. Our coaches have also worked with world-record holders, Olympians, and pro athletes before. You’ve got coaches who have really tested their skills, in the trenches, before!

This is very individual, and part of the reason why we supply any pre-made plans. We work with you, your schedule, and your abilities to take you to your next level of performance, whatever that means to you.
