Endurance Nation | Triathlon Coaching, Ironman Training, Half Ironman, Beginner Triathlon

At Endurance Nation, we are in daily conversations with our athletes regarding the strengths and weaknesses of our training plans. And with a community of over 400 athletes of all shapes and sizes, you can bet that every weakness or area for improvement is found and called to our attention. Through that support dialog, coach and athlete, together, identify opportunities to improve the product. With each cycle of feedback, refinement, and improvement the product gets better and better.  Once or twice a year we gather together all of this feedback along with the “hacks” that we’ve issued in the forum. We reflect on what we have learned through our own training and through guiding such a diverse community through a long season.  Then we lock ourselves in a closet and completely rewrite all of our training plans. The result is a nearly continuous cycle of improvement driven by constant contact with and feedback from our athletes.

With the release of The Book early this week, we have received a great deal of input and feedback from our members and the general triathlon feedback. The majority of this feedback has been positive, with several folks providing insightful suggestions on how we can improve things for the next release (no date scheduled, we need a break!).
