"The Book" is the coaching, training, and racing philosophies of Endurance Nation — a virtual triathlon team led by coaches Rich Strauss and Patrick McCrann. In a little over one year, more than 435 members have used the unconventional Endurance Nation approach to achieve incredible fitness gains and killer race results.

From physiology to methodology, from workouts to case studies, The Book covers all the topics you will need to master in order to maximize the return on your triathlon training. Don't re-invent the wheel...and don't waste another year of training. 

"Endurance Nation is the premier online triathlon community and should be regarded as one of the most complete resources for the endurance athlete.  Patrick McCrann and Richard Strauss are ahead of the curve with this online platform and have the sound experience to back it up.  I've trained and raced alongside Patrick on many occasions and it's no longer fun. By applying his own principles, he's qualified for Hawaii multiple times.  He will be tough to beat in October if he keeps following his own program!  Endurance Nation.  Make it part of your triathlon experience."

Who is Endurance Nation?

We are a virtual triathlon team, primarily focused on the half and full Iron distance. The team is lead by coaches Rich Strauss and Patrick McCrann. Membership is $15 per month. Very successful coaches on their own, they have joined to create Endurance Nation, with the mission of providing high quality, affordable training tools to their team of self-coached athletes. They are driven to create the best value in the tri-space, period.

Why do I need The Book?

As a self-coached athlete your sample size of what works is 1. Ours is in the thousands, all age groupers in the real world, with real lives, just like you. Everything we've learned about coaching age group athletes like you is right here in the book. The Book allows you to avoid years of mistakes by learning from our experience of coaching athletes, fast-tracking your fitness.

What's in it for me?

Anyone racing, or hoping to race, long course triathlon will benefit from our perspective on training, racing, and balancing it all within your real life. The principles that apply to long course racing are entirely applicable to short course as well.

Why is The Book Free Online?

We learned a very powerful lesson when we started Endurance Nation just about a year ago: giving means getting. By putting all of our information and coaching knowledge into a single, online platform, and allowing athletes to interact, share, give feedback, make updates...our stuff got better. The Book is our way of trying to infect the rest of the tri-community with the knowledge and openness that has made Endurance Nation a leading force in the triathlon game.

Our Message
