The C26 Club

“I joined the C26 Club program because I knew from previous years that I wasn’t good at creating my own training plans and sticking to them. As a relatively inexperienced triathlete, I was trying to cobble together a plan based on what I knew other athletes were doing and what I saw on tri magazine websites—not customized to my strengths, weaknesses and experience level. Enter C26 and specifically, Coach Mike. After assessing my goals, race plan and getting to know my availability to train, workouts appeared in Training Peaks, and I quickly realized my previous plans had lacked structure and purpose. Having a set plan and schedule that fit my life (as a husband, dad and full-time employee) allowed me to train smarter and positive results have followed. Having a coach entering workouts in Training Peaks helped hold me accountable and removed the guesswork. Joining the club is one of the best moves I’ve made in the sport so far.”

“Mike and I have been working together since October 2022. Prior to finding C26, I was self-trained and had participated in one 70.3 and a couple of other endurance races. I performed well, but there was a sense of doubt if I was not going about training appropriately. The books had a one size fits most mentality, and the training felt rigid. Working with Mike has helped alleviate those feelings and so much more. Mike was able to take feedback about my workouts and general life schedule, and adhere to a training plan that fit. All of this together led to a huge confidence boost leading to a 25 minute PR in a year of the sport. Incredibly excited to continue working with Mike and C26 in the years to come.”
