Endurance Training: We help you decipher, understand, economize and maximize the benefits of long term periodization training for successful endurance training. Not only will we map out your daily, weekly and monthly workouts, you will understand how each workout relates to your big-picture, known as the macrocycle. Together we create a step-by-step game plan to help you achieve your goals incrementally through proper periodization training. Our comprehensive Training Log will enable us to break down your training into 3 month blocks known as mesocycles and then into weekly training objectives known as microcycles with specific progressions designed to meet your goals for each mesocycle. Each day effects the next, so communication and adaptation is the key to success!

We are now partnered with www.workoutlog.com to provide a robust training tool to log and track workouts, view video clips and tips, record and analyze nutrition and communicate easily with your coach all online! With workoutlog.com you can upload data from Garmin, Polar, Power Tap and SRM!

Competition Schedule: We help you choose the right races to complement your athletic development, and allow you to build and peak appropriately throughout the year.
Sport Specific Skills: Endurance sports are demanding and proper technique followed by building strength, power and speed is essential for you to see improvement. We provide you with the right workouts and the right progression for you to develop effectively each year.

Swimming- We help you build proper technique, endurance, strength and speed. We help you with sighting, drafting, coping with choppy conditions and so much more!
Cycling- We help you improve technique and efficiency on your properly fit bike. We build in strength and power through hill work and big gear riding as well as speed work including short burst, threshold and above threshold training.
Running- We help you improve technique with efficient gait, stride rate, foot strike and forward motion. We help you eliminate excessive upper-body movement, too much bounce in your run stride and unnecessary side-to-side motion. We build in drills, strength on the hills and speed with threshold and sprint work.
Integrated Functional Strength Training- Endurance athletes work mostly in one plane of motion. Therefore, we incorporate multiplaner work and include specific functional exercises to help you become more muscularly balanced to reduce injury and give you a competitive edge. We provide you with a detailed Functional Training Log that covers exercises to develop your strength appropriately throughout the season. Adding strength training is one thing, but doing the right strength training can make a big difference in your performance. So we take the guess work out and provide the right strength training for you!
Flexibility- We help you build an effective stretching program and encourage you to take Yoga and Pilates. We also help build in lengthening and strengthening with Coach Kelly's Triathilates^TM workouts.
Nutrition- Eating right will not only improve your performance but enhance your mood! We provide unique information in our detailed Nutrition Log and Worksheet. We help you with daily nutrition as well as race day nutrition! Energy in is energy out, so it's important to understand food is fuel and if we fuel effectively we will perform efficiently!

Healthy lifestyle: Staying healthy over long periods of time is perhaps the most important goal for endurance athletes. We help you to listen to your body, monitor your aches and pains and build in needed rest. We see your life from the bigger perspective and help you pull back on training when work or family situations become stressful, we help you manage your hectic schedule and we are there encouraging you every step of the way!
Mental training: Mental training has an incredibly important role in your success. People can be physically fit, but if they are not mentally strong, they will falter when the going gets tough. When it comes to endurance sports, the going will get tough! We help you develop consistent emotional zones and emphasis visualization techniques. We help you push your body hard when needed and go easy and rest when needed as well.
Support: Creating an emotional and spiritual support group is an important part of your endurance sports training. You cannot reach your potential alone. You can count on your coach to be there for you as well as meet other EFC athletes who go through similar challenges. We encourage you to include friends, family and co-workers in your endurance journey. Communicate your training plan and surround yourself with people who give you energy and believe in your goals!
Personalized, Customized and Individualized: When you become an EFC athlete you can trust that your training plan is 100% personalized and customized individually for you!
