Frequently Asked Questions

How much does triathlon coaching cost?

Monthly triathlon coaching is $299 per month. Run Gait Video Analysis and Swim Stroke Video Analysis are $159 each. Your first consultation is free.

 

How long are coaching packages?

Coaching comes in 3, 4, 5, or 6-month packages, or ongoing month to month. Most athletes choose based on how far away their race is.

 

How far ahead should I start training for a 70.3 or a full Ironman?

Plan on at least 4–6 months for a 70.3 (half Ironman) and 6–12 months for a full Ironman (140.6). The exact timeline depends on your current fitness level and race experience.

 

Do you coach athletes outside Texas?

Yes. Coaching is done online through the TrainingPeaks app, so you can train with me from anywhere. In-person coaching and video analysis are also available in College Station, TX.

 

Can a beginner train for a half Ironman with you?

Yes. I meet you where you are and build from there. Racing a Sprint or Olympic distance triathlon first is a great idea before you take on a 70.3.

 

What's included in coaching?

A custom plan built around your fitness level and schedule, with swim, bike, run, and strength workouts plus a race nutrition plan. You also get weekly communication and unlimited text messaging or email.
