A structured training plan is the most basic requirement of an endurance athlete. This enables a progression of fitness and preparation that is appropriate to the athlete, the tracking of how the athlete responds to the training, and adjustments to maximize the effectiveness of the plan. Some athletes do not require a full 1:1 coaching service, but do recognize the need for an individualized training plan which they can then manage largely by themselves, with occasional consultations to check in and course-correct as necessary.

For those athletes who largely self-manage their training, there is often a benefit from every so often checking with an objective third party on their plan and the progress they are making. It can be difficult to know when too much or too little is being done, or to understand what is impacting the levels of performance being attained. In particular, in the last few training blocks, running up to an event, this can be a critical time to check-in and ensure confidence in the preparation.

Triathlon can be a particularly intimidating sport to younger athletes (U18), given the complex race logistics interwoven with training across multiple disciplines. Layering triathlon training onto academics and the natural challenges of pre-adolescence can feel overwhelming. At TriEndeavors, we are USAT certified to coach youth and junior athletes. Our goal is to partner with the athlete and their parent(s) to foster a training environment that will allow them to develop at an appropriate pace, enabling them to build confidence and nurture a healthy balance between training, academics, and social activities. We build training plans uniquely tailored to the youth or junior athlete and strive to ensure they are physically, psychologically, and logistically prepared to compete in races.

Triathlon and endurance racing are demanding interests to pursue. For many the interest develops into a passion, and the passion into a lifestyle. Our lives are made up of more than our hobbies and interests. We all have other commitments: family, work, uptime, downtime. We all have hopes and fears for our lives. Research has shown how a sense of purpose, a sense of place, relationships, and healthy lifestyles contribute to our state of wellbeing. Putting it all together requires clarity of purpose, structure, effective use of time, healthy eating, exercise and lots of recovery and space in our lives. We have the experience and access to resources that can provide coaching to those who wish to put their training lives into a broader context and widen the lens on how to build a greater sense of achievement.
