Coaching toward Kona qualification
A Kona goal needs a training block that supports the whole race and a clear reading of the current qualification rules. I review your swim, bike and run evidence, the course and the hours you can sustain. Coaching starts at $250 every four weeks. No coach can promise a slot from a fixed finish time.
What do we review before choosing a race?
Current performance, training consistency, travel, course demands and the qualifying cycle. A race’s slot information belongs alongside those constraints, rather than replacing them.
How do we prepare the race effort?
Use long-session evidence and practiced fueling to connect the three disciplines. A fast bike split that costs the run is a poor way to defend the total time.
Choose the feedback you will use.
| Support | Every 4 weeks | Support |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | $250 | A personal plan and a weekly review. Clear priorities, without daily messaging. |
| Performance | $350 | Regular feedback, a monthly strategy call and TrainingPeaks Premium included. |
| Elite | $750 | Weekly calls, same-day feedback and TrainingPeaks Premium. Four 60-minute in-person sessions total included for local athletes. |
Questions, answered.
What does coaching cost?
Essential is $250, Performance $350 and Elite $750 every four weeks. That is 13 payments per year. I cap the total roster at 15 athletes; Elite has a four-athlete cap. Availability is confirmed individually.
Who writes and reviews the plan?
I do. Your recent training, feedback and calendar shape the next block. Apex adapts a software plan and is a separate offer.
What should I bring to the first call?
Your target event, a recent representative result, the training you have actually completed and a typical work week. Tell me what you cannot move before we discuss what to add.
