Endurance Corner Introduction

When I was ready to make a change towards a healthier lifestyle, I was welcomed by a group of UltraRunners. UltraRunning has a counterculture vibe about it and the guys were very open with sharing information about training/nutrition/fitness. It was a LONG period of trial and error while I figured out what worked.

One of the greatest areas of 'struggle' was my weight. I was absolutely clueless on nutrition. My UltraBuddies were pretty Old School -- recovery food was beer, pizza, nachos. Like a lot of us, I exercised so I could eat more but I was never able to lose fat around my tummy and always had this dream of "being ripped". Somehow I thought that ripped-ness would make me more desirable -- and it does... but, ultimately, that desire is empty and feeding vanity leads to crisis. More on that some other time!

So... first up -- the new site is a free resource for Endurance Training, Triathlon and Nutrition. I have taken my most popular writings from the last ten years; reworked them and published into a Single Location.

You don't need to sign-up for anything, the library is open to all.

You are welcome to link as well as republish any article (completely, with link back to my site). If you'd like to publish extracts then contact me first -- I nearly always say yes for non-commercial uses.

Recently, I have been mentoring a great group of people towards an early season sprint triathlon. Answering their questions has reminded me of the large impact coaches can have with patient, solid advice. The simple lessons that I have learned are, by far, the most powerful.

From the Home Page, you can access a couple of YouTube clips that I recorded to explain what really matters. It is easy to get distracted in life. My new site, will work to keep clients, readers and myself (!) focused on the big picture.

Our current product is an Ironman triathlon coaching engine. I have written an article that explains our engine so I won't repeat myself here. Suffice to say, I have built an open platform that enables you to tailor your program to the realities of your life. It contains everything that is essential for us to begin a dialogue on your training.

You can get a solid program in many places -- my unique offering is myself, as guide for your program.

When a coaching relationship works well, there are benefits much wider than just the field of competition. I can promise that you'll be ready for your race. With a bit of luck, we will be able to share experiences that deepen success in your wider life.
