Endurance Nation

Three days and 300 miles of riding in the books, and I think I am finally getting the hang of riding in the windy heat that saturates the Ironman Texas course. I just wrapped up the second annual Ironman Texas Rally, where approximately 50 athletes from across the country came together to prepare for the [...]

Coach Patrick was on hand to support the 28 members racing and the handful of Training Plan athletes. Across all these folks, we have a pretty good sense of how the day played out.

It’s that time again, when we get to report on the data that really matters. Forget about w/kg, vDOT, or your LTHR…let’s talk about giving real money to organizations that are making a difference in the lives of others and improving the quality of life for us all. Every month in 2011, Endurance Nation has [...]

Every month in 2011, Endurance Nation has pledged to award $250 to up to eight (8) member or training plan athletes who are racing to raise money for a particular charity. Our 2011 annual commitment is $24,000 — a lot in some ways, but not enough in others.

It’s no secret that Ironman racing (the 140.6 mile version) has become crazy popular, with races selling out a year in advance, often in only minutes. As a result, Ironman-focused conversations dominate the triathlon space. Yet probably 90% of these Ironman triathletes race one, two, three or more half Ironman events enroute to their full Ironman distance event. Our combined 20 years of coaching and racing experience has shown that the 70.3 distance is a different race entirely from the Ironman. If you want to be successful at the half iron distance you’ll need to bring more to the table than your Ironman fitness and some good luck.

t’s been less than a month since we announced our “Cash for Clunkers” training plan trade-in program and we wanted to give you an update: We have paid over $4,000 so triathletes don’t have to train with their old, clunker training plans!
