An IRONMAN CERTIFIED COACH:
Your Motivating Force
Having the right coach is critical to your success as an athlete. They should get to know you as a person, customize your Ironman Training Program to ensure it is achievable, factor on lifestyle and race schedule, understand what it takes to achieve your goals and have the experience to get you there.
Knowing you have an IRONMAN Certified Coach to schedule all of your workouts, bounce ideas off, ask questions, interpret your training data and set you up for race day is hugely beneficial. Your coach is also a motivating factor, there is nothing better than being accountable to someone when it comes to those days where your willpower falters!
Make no mistake. Ironman Coaching is probably the biggest bang for your buck when it comes to your performance. It adds speed, strength, confidence and enjoyment to a sport that demands a lot, but rewards those who make the right choices.

Limited Availability- COntact me today
To keep that level of personal attention high I work with a limited number of athletes and specialize in IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 racing.
You will not be passed to an assistant coach, this is a true one-to-one coaching relationship.
All athletes are coached directly by me. I am your single point of contact, I handle all communication and I design a fully custom weekly program for each athlete.
You can explore the format to see how the program works and what to expect when you join the PB+J team. That said, choosing the right coach often comes with plenty of questions. If you would like to talk things through, need a bit more information, or are ready to get started, I would be very happy to chat.
There is no time like there present and your race day is getting closer!
