Online 1:1 endurance coaching

Online endurance coaching — marathon, triathlon, IRONMAN.

Three remote 1:1 tiers. One coach behind 12 Boston qualifications, 18+ podium wins, and Kona slots. Every athlete on the roster gets a plan built from scratch around their race, their week, and their data — refreshed every 4 weeks based on what actually happened. Coaching in English, Portuguese, or Spanish, anywhere in the world.

The watts on your plan come from a coach
still putting them down himself.

12× Boston qualifier. 18+ overall race wins. Professional 70.3 starts in Lahti, Chicago, Desaru. Your block is built by someone who knows what mile 90 of a half-IM bike feels like — because that's him in the photo.

Methodology

Six layers of work
between you and your A-race.

Every plan stacks the same six pillars — calibrated to your physiology, race, and life. Nothing skipped, nothing copy-pasted.

Diagnostic baseline

Lactate, FTP/CP, HRV, sleep, and historical training load mapped before a single workout is written.

Periodized build

Macro → meso → micro cycles engineered to your A-race date and current fitness — no canned templates.

Daily load steering

Workouts adapt to readiness, fatigue, and life. Real load, not theoretical TSS hitting a number.

Weekly physio review

Every session looked at by a human. Patterns surfaced, dosage tuned, the week ahead recalibrated.

Race-specific peak

Terrain, climate, nutrition, pacing — modeled in training so race day feels rehearsed, not improvised.

Mental performance

Pre-race protocols, in-race decision frameworks, post-race debriefs — the head trained like the legs.

Coaching tiers

Three levels of 1:1 support. All billed every 4 weeks, cancel any time.

Is 1:1 coaching right for you?

Coaching costs between $3,250 per year and $9,750 per year. Before you spend that, read the right-hand column honestly.

This is for you if

  • You have a race on the calendar in the next 6 to 12 months and a time goal you can say out loud.
  • You can train at least 5 hours most weeks and you want those hours to count for more than they currently do.
  • Your weeks get disrupted by work, travel or family, and you need the plan rebuilt around that rather than a PDF you patch yourself.
  • You will tell your coach the truth about sleep, stress, niggles and the sessions you skipped.
  • You are comfortable spending between $3,250 per year and $9,750 per year, knowing that is 13 payments, not 12.
  • You want to be told to back off when the data says so, even when you disagree.

This is not for you if

  • You want a training plan and nothing else. A self-guided plan costs a one-off $35 to $99 and gives you the same periodization — start at /programs instead.
  • You have no goal race and no target time. Coaching at this price needs something to aim at; without one you are paying for structure you could get from Apex at $4.99 a month.
  • You are shopping for the cheapest coach available. This is not it, and there are competent coaches working at half these prices.
  • You want in-person sessions, track supervision, or a group to run with. Coaching here is fully remote — nobody stands beside you.
  • You expect to be chased. Your coach will notice you stopped and will ask, but nobody can make you train.
  • You want a guaranteed qualifying time. No coach can sell you that, and any who does is lying.
  • You need medical treatment for a current injury. See a physio first — coaching resumes when you have a diagnosis.

What happens next

  1. You send the application

    About 5 minutes. Your goal race, current training, injury history and what has not worked before.

  2. I read it and reply within 2 business days

    Every application is read by me, not a form autoresponder. You get a real answer either way.

  3. A 20-minute call, free, no pitch

    We work out whether coaching is the right purchase for you at all. If a self-guided plan or Apex fits better, I will say so on this call.

  4. You get a yes, a waitlist date, or a referral

    The roster is capped at 15 athletes. If there is no seat, you get a date or the name of someone better suited — not a holding pattern.

  5. Onboarding and testing

    You complete a training history questionnaire and a field test to set your zones. Payment starts here, not before.

  6. Your first 4 weeks are published within 3 days

    Loaded into TrainingPeaks with every session described. You can start immediately.

Refunds, cancellation and pausing

Cancelling
Cancel any time by email, with no notice period and no exit fee. Your current 4-week cycle finishes as normal and you are not billed again.
Refunds
Cycles already started are not refunded, because the plan for those weeks has already been written and delivered. If you cancel before the first session of a new cycle has been published, that cycle is refunded in full.
Pausing
You can pause for injury, illness, travel or life for up to 8 weeks a year at no cost, and your seat on the roster is held. Tell me before the next cycle bills. Beyond 8 weeks the seat goes to the waitlist and you rejoin when there is space.
Price changes
Your rate is fixed for as long as you stay coached continuously. Published prices only apply to new athletes.
