Your Iron Distance Journey Begins Here!

You’re Not Just Training for an Ironman.
You’re Training for the Moment That Changes You Forever.

Personalized 70.3 & 140.6 Coaching from an Ironman Certified Coach
100+ Race Starts Since 2007 | Decades of Coaching Experience

Let me paint the picture for you: 

Imagine you running down the finishing chute.
Your legs are tired — but strong.
The crowd is cheering.
Your heart is pounding.
You see the clock.
You see the lights.
You hear the words:
“You are an Ironman.”

OR

“You are an IRONMAN 70.3 finisher.”
In that moment, you are not the same person who signed up.
You are stronger.
Fitter.
Fearless.
Disciplined.
Unstoppable.
You did one of the most epic events a human being can do.
And you did it the right way — and the safest way.
Now let me ask you something:
Are you really going to trust that journey to a free training plan from Google?
Or worse — an AI bot that doesn’t truly know you?
Why Free Plans and AI Coaching
Fall Short

A free plan from Google was written for someone else.
It doesn’t know:
• If you’ve been up all night with a sick child
• If work suddenly got overwhelming
• If family stress hit hard
• If something just doesn’t feel right physically
• If motivation dips or confidence wavers
Google doesn’t know you the human being behind the training plan.
AI doesn’t know you like I do.
I adjust.
I respond.
I coach the human, not the workouts.
I find solutions.
That’s the difference between simply finishing…
…and finishing strong, confident, and proud.

Testimonials
Real Athletes. Real Results. Real Finish Lines.
⭐ Landon G.
“I found Mary and when we first met I knew I had made the right choice.

Her workout plans are structured to where you are and what your goals are, and she follows up regularly to check in and make sure you are doing ok and putting in the work.

Any time I had questions or was struggling with motivation, she was just a phone call or text away.
We had meetings in person to go over my running stride and race prep — super helpful for where I was in my journey.

As I sit here getting my Ironman tattoo, I’ve been reflecting on how I’ve been forever transformed…
Coach Mary was my biggest cheerleader. Thank you Coach!!”
⭐ Rob G.
“Participating in IRONMAN was something I never imagined possible at 44 with very little multi-sport experience.
I completed a 70.3 using the ‘power of the internet’ — but I knew I needed a better approach.

After 6 months working with Coach Mary, I completed my first full distance at IRONMAN Texas.

The journey has tons of ups and downs, but working with Coach Mary prepared me to get through challenges during training and race day itself.
Thanks Coach! Looking forward to the next one!”
⭐ Walter P.
“All I can say is Mary is incredible!

In 14 months she’s seen me through three triathlons (including a 70.3), my first half marathon, and now my first full marathon.

She has worn multiple hats — coach, big sister, spiritual director, and motivator.

She pushed me when needed, helped me see my potential, and brought out the best in me. I’ll always be grateful.”
