First Time Training for an Ironman Triathlon?

The "line" between Beginner and...whatever...isn't about speed, how fast you are, or how many hours per week you have available to train. It's about what you "know" about endurance training and racing. Our high-quality training plans, vibrant online community, and educational focus combine to bring you SEVERAL years up the learning curve. Our athletes show up on race day the fittest they've ever been because the training plans they've used to get there have been honed to near perfection by thousands of athletes before them. Our athletes are smart because we place a very high premium on educating our members, and because more experienced members pay it forward. The strength of Endurance Nation lies in our ability, through the tools above, to bring you "The Beginner" several years and many races up the learning curve. In EN we have first-year or first-time Ironman athletes racing like veterans because they are just as smart as they are fit...and that combination is truly powerful.		Intro Video with Coach Patrick
