Plan Description

Winning is a Mindset Not a Spot on the Podium

This plan is for a beginner level triathlete who wants to train for their first triathlon next season OR is coming off a long break from the sport. The foundation plan will start very slowly to allow new athletes to get used to a regular training routine again before they prepare for a specific race. "Train to train. Then train to race."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Coach Mark is exceptional! Because of his coaching, I am able to compete again in a sport I love. I greatly appreciate & value his professionalism, dedication, & expertise."

-Kathleen O'Shea
