Duathlon Coaching
 

 

Duathlon is its own sport, it is not triathlon without the swimming. Coach Jason is a dedicated duathlon coach and works with national caliber athletes, those working towards their first duathlon finish and people everywhere in between. He serves on USA Triathlon's Duathlon Committee and was the Assistant Coach for the USA Triathlon Elite team at the 2008 World Duathlon Championships. No matter your speed, if you are a duathlete looking to get faster and have fun, our coaching will serve you well. In short, Dig It du's it!

Duathlon Coaching, How It Works
Our coaching begins with a thorough review of the athlete's goals, both short and long term. We establish what the athlete enjoys in their training throughout the year. The athlete and coach then develop a series of short term fitness benchmarks that guide the athlete's training towards their key events. These short term goals form the basis of the season long periodization plan, one that is developed for the individual athlete based on their current fitness, the demands of their races and what they most enjoy in their training.

Training schedules are delivered in 1 to 2 week long blocks close to when they start. This ensures that the schedule is maximally effective. It was developed with the complete knowledge of the training that the athlete just completed and it is fully connected to the realities of the athlete's life. Training schedules are provided via an account on TrainingPeaks.com. This software is a leading training analysis program and its fees are included within our fees.

Coach Jason is available to Dig It clients as needed. We have no limits or fees associated with phone or email contact. Feedback on training data is performed using the latest and best software, including RaceDay, and is delivered to clients promptly. We communicate when you want and/or need. Athlete and coach get together as necessary for general meetings or technique evaluation. In short, we provide you with information and we do that as it best serves you.

Cost - $150 per month, no start up fees
