Race season is over (or almost and its time to start planning for next season) Motivation doesn't have to be.

The athletes who show up for the off-season are the same ones who show up on next year's podium. Here's why:

1️⃣ It's the only time to build real strength without racing getting in the way 2️⃣ It's when we fix the weaknesses your race times were hiding 3️⃣ It's the best window to injury-proof your body before training ramps back up

Off-season coaching spots are open now for anyone who wants next season to look different from this one.

Go to the PXP Endurance website https://pxpendurance.com/coaching.php orDM "OFFSEASON" to grab one.

Proud coach moment. 🥇

Lisa Stickley and Kristi George, who row with the Indianapolis Rowing Center, came home from the Worlds Championship in Rowing with 13 medals between them:

Lisa: three gold, three silver, and one bronze
Kristi: four gold and two silver

Their medals were won in the boat, through years of hard work with their crews and coaches at the Indianapolis Rowing Center. What we did together at PXP Endurance was the strength work behind it. We built power that carries through the drive and durability to handle a full season of racing. Then we made sure they got to the start line healthy.

Congratulations, Lisa and Kristi. You earned every one of these. Now, what's next for 2027?

Your off-season isn't a pause button — it's where next season gets built.

New on the blog: why the "boring" easy miles you're logging right now matter more than any interval session, what your body's actually doing with lactate (hint: it's not the enemy), and how to structure your postseason → off-season → preseason so you show up to next year fitter, not just rested.

We break down the science of aerobic base building, clear up the confusion around lactate threshold, walk through power zones, and pull the training-discipline lessons from the Norwegian method that just produced a wave of world champions — and what it actually means for age-group athletes (spoiler: not 7 interval sessions a week).

Choosing a triathlon coach is about more than finding someone who can write a training plan. It's about finding someone with the experience, education, and commitment to help you become the best athlete you can be.

One question I hear often is, "What's the difference between USAT Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 coaching certifications?"

Here's the short answer:

Level 1 establishes the foundation of triathlon coaching, including training principles, athlete safety, and program design.

Level 2 builds on that foundation with advanced education and specialized knowledge in areas such as long-course racing, high performance, junior development, and paratriathlon.

Level 3 is the highest coaching certification awarded by USA Triathlon. It recognizes coaches who have demonstrated advanced knowledge, extensive coaching experience, continued professional development, and a proven commitment to developing athletes over the long term.

What does that mean for you?

It means you're working with a coach who has invested years into mastering the science and art of endurance coaching—not just creating workouts, but understanding how to individualize training, prevent burnout and injury, adapt to life's challenges, and help athletes perform when it matters most.

Whether your goal is:
✅ Finish your first sprint triathlon
✅ Qualify for the IRONMAN World Championship
✅ Set a personal best
✅ Balance training with a demanding career and family life
..your training should be built around you, not a one-size-fits-all plan.

I'm proud to be a USAT Level 3 Certified Coach because it represents a commitment to continuous learning and delivering the highest level of coaching I can provide. Every athlete deserves a coach who is invested in their success—not just on race day, but throughout the entire journey.

If you're looking for personalized coaching, accountability, and a coach who will meet you where you are while helping you reach goals you may not have thought possible, I'd love to talk.

Your next breakthrough starts with the right plan—and the right coach.

If we haven't met yet, let me introduce myself.

I help beginner to advanced triathletes and endurance runners train smarter, stay healthy, and achieve performance goals through individualized coaching, injury prevention strategies, and evidence-based training.

I believe every athlete has more potential than they realize. My coaching combines endurance training, athletic performance experience, and injury-prevention strategies to help athletes reach their goals safely and effectively.

I work with triathletes and runners of all levels — from first-time finishers to experienced competitors looking to improve performance. My background as an athletic trainer allows me to look beyond the workout and understand movement, mechanics, recovery, and long-term athlete development.

Whether your goal is completing your first triathlon, finishing an Ironman, setting a new PR, or returning stronger after injury, my approach is personalized around your goals and your success.

You are welcome regardless of age or experience

People often ask what the difference is between USAT Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 coaching certifications. Here's a simple breakdown.

**USAT Level 1** provides the foundation. Coaches learn the core principles of triathlon coaching, athlete safety, training fundamentals, and how to build structured programs for a wide range of athletes.

**USAT Level 2** is about specialization and deeper application. Coaches expand their knowledge in areas such as long-course racing, junior development, paratriathlon, and high-performance coaching while gaining more experience applying sport science to real athletes.

**USAT Level 3** is the highest coaching certification offered by USA Triathlon. It's not simply another course—it's a recognition of advanced coaching knowledge, significant coaching experience, continued education, and the ability to consistently develop athletes over time. Earning Level 3 requires demonstrating a long-term commitment to coaching excellence and professional development.

Why does this matter?

A certification alone doesn't make someone a great coach. Great coaching comes from building relationships, understanding each athlete as an individual, and continually learning. But higher-level certifications represent a commitment to mastering the craft, staying current with the latest research, and refining the ability to help athletes perform at their best.

I'm proud to have earned my USAT Level 3 certification because it reflects years of learning, coaching, problem-solving, and helping athletes achieve goals they once thought were out of reach. It's not the finish line—it's another step in my commitment to becoming a better coach every day.

To all the coaches out there, regardless of certification level: keep learning, keep asking questions, and keep putting your athletes first. That's what makes our sport stronger.
