Clarity for the Journey Ahead

Yes, and I’d gently push back on the framing. Elite isn’t a pace or a podium. It’s a mindset. What our athletes share is curiosity, commitment and a goal that matters to them. If that sounds like you, we should talk.

You don’t need to know before we talk. That’s what the fit call is for. A few signs it’s time: you’ve hit a ceiling training on your own, you’re spending time and money racing without the results you want, or you want more intention, education and support.

Yes. Busy athletes are who we coach best. We build training around the time you actually have, so every session has a purpose. Busy isn’t a barrier. It’s a parameter we design around.

No. We have athletes of all ages having the best performances of their lives. Age changes how we approach recovery, load and progression. It doesn’t change your capacity to improve.

Your training lives in TrainingPeaks, where you’ll see workouts, log data and leave notes. We review all of it, including what you write about how you felt. We’re in touch daily: after workouts, before and after races, and whenever something comes up. You won’t be training alone.

If we decide to work together, we start with a detailed intake covering your history, goals, schedule and preferences. Within the first week you’ll have your first training in TrainingPeaks and your first check-in with your coach. Daily communication starts from there.

A plan is written for a hypothetical athlete, and coaching is built around you. You have a history, a schedule, a body that responds in its own way, and a life that will sometimes make the plan irrelevant. A coach pays attention to all of that, makes real-time decisions, catches problems before they become injuries, and adjusts when life requires it. The plan is the starting point. The coaching is everything around it.

Communicate as much as feels natural. The athletes who ask questions and share context are almost always the ones who improve fastest. We want to know how things are going. That’s how we work.

Triathlon at every distance, from sprint to Ironman, plus running, cycling, duathlon, off-road and gravel triathlon, ultrarunning, ultra cycling and open water swimming. If it’s an endurance sport and you have a goal in it, we can work with it.

If you want daily attention from experienced coaches, yes. You’re paying for coaches with decades of experience at the highest levels of the sport, who know your name, your history, your goals, and your Tuesday when everything went sideways. Cheaper options exist, and some are good, but they aren’t this. If you’re ready to invest in a process that meets you where you are and guides you where you want to go, the math tends to take care of itself.

Most of our athletes stay for years, because the relationship compounds over time. A coach who has known you for five seasons understands you in ways that take a long time to build. We start with a defined period and evaluate together.

Send us a note at msmtricoach@gmail.com or book a fit call. We’ll talk about your goals, history and life, and you can ask anything about how we coach. By the end, we’ll both know whether to move forward.
