We begin by learning about you as an athlete and a person. We then work together to get you started in the right place for your fitness. After that we build a progression that allows you to grow, but not be overworked on the way to your goals.

Our training plans are built in Training Peaks where the coach is connected directly to your calendar. We have an ongoing dialogue with you throughout your training process and listen, learn and teach together.

We coach 100s of athletes from around the world and bring them together as much as possible through our Camps and Team Races. We've had over 40 camps and believe they are some of the best in the world. We have triathlon camps, running camps, swim camps, and recovery retreats where you can build lifelong friendships with other like minded people.

We have a range of locations that host our C26 Camps. We have camps in Nashville, TN, The Woodlands Texas, Overland Park, Kansas, Madison, WI, and our legendary run camp in West Tennessee. We're always looking for more opportunities for camps and bringing our community together.
