A personal trainer is not necessarily a strength coach, and when endurance athletes are considering working with a professional for their strength training, they really need to be working with a strength coach who understands the needs of their primary sport and how to safely and thoughtfully include strength training alongside training for the primary sport.

Open water swimming can be very intimidating for some athletes, and for good reason. Swimming in a live body of water comes with considerations and challenges that do not exist in controlled environments such as pools. This session will dive into detail about how to safely incorporate open water swimming into training so you can feel comfortable and confident in the open water come race day.

Training camps are immersive experiences designed to help athletes very specifically prepare for the demands of their goal race without a lot of outside distractions. Are they as helpful as they claim to be? This session will explore the benefits and disadvantages of training camps and will provide insight on how athletes can thoughtfully choose appropriate training camps for themselves.

A triathlon kit (more commonly referred to as a “tri kit”) is apparel specifically designed to be worn for all three legs of a triathlon or multisport event (such as an aquabike or duathlon) without having to change. Tri kits are not essential to do a triathlon or multisport event, but many people choose to wear them when they train and race. Are tri kits really worth the investment? 

All athletes will inevitably have the experience of training not going as they originally envisioned or planned. Many may have the instinct to double down on their goals and to think that they will achieve them despite training going awry. However, that’s not the best strategy for success. Modifying goals to be in alignment with how one’s training has actually unfolded is a better one.
