Ed Note: This post is part of an admin series on what sets Endurance Nation apart from other triathlon coaching groups, companies, and clubs. If you like what you see, please check us out. We have a 30-day FREE trial and all new members before 5/1 (when we close the doors for the season!) get a FREE copy of our Four Keys DVD — a $37 value!
Even though this reason is only number 5, it’s one of my favorite ones because it’s such a no-brainer. In fact, it’s so obvious that I think most people miss it: Endurance Nation is 100% Age Grouper focused.
“Age Grouper Focused” means…
…that the coaches who wrote your plan are age groupers themselves.
We aren’t pros who train 40 hours a week and just give you a flavor of our personal training. We aren’t academics who pour over published results from studies of untrained male 35 year old cycling performance gains, and use that to guide our work. We are coaches who train like you, who have taken our combined 15 years of age-grouper experience to create a suite of plans that are effective, easy-to-implement, and connect you to your fellow triathletes.
…that your plan has been refined and improved annually by people just like you.
Sure, we read all the same books that you do. Difference is that our versions of the plans have been implemented and refined by well over a 1000 athletes. A typical 1:1 coach works with (maybe) 20 folks a year…it will take them 50 years to stack up the same level of info and experience that EN has working with Age Groupers. Add to that the fact that all of our plans are balanced to account for your life, and they are built around the concept of Training ROI…what’s the least I can do
…Team EN is about YOU (the athlete), not about US (the coaches).
Take a closer look at that 1:1 coaching relationship. It’s very heavily weighted to the coach who is the expert, who gets paid before they talk to you, who is hard to set up a phone call with, who requires more money to meet you in the real world, etc. I know…I have been there. Inside EN, Rich and I are really just and extension of the membership. If there’s a need for clarification, or a request for new guidance, or an idea for a new project…we take it on. In fact, I think we have 3 member-driven projects going on right now behind the scenes! That’s just so cool…And we definitely don’t take ourselves too seriously.
…we have a much bigger focus than just triathlon.
At the end of the day, this is all just a game. Getting too dialed into triathlon, or any extracurricular endeavor, for that matter, just isn’t good for you. All of our members are just regular people. From stay at home moms to orthopedic surgeons to accountants to web development peeps….we all moonlight as triathletes. A large part of our community is built around who we are in the real world, and this is reinforced when we all get to meet up at our various races across the US.
IF you are looking for a unique training experience with folks who share your passion for triathlon, your quest for self-improvement, and your desire to be your best without sacrificing life, family, or work…check us out. We are, after all, home of triathlon’s only FREE 30-day trial. See you at the races!
