My Coaching Approach
Over 11 years of Coaching, bike fitting and research, I coach using a Performance Limiter Periodization System.
I start by identifying what is actually holding you back, whether that’s aerobic capacity, threshold, race specific endurance, durability, speed, strength, swim efficiency, bike power, running or bike mechanics, nutrition, and imbalances that are creating inefficiencies or recovery.
Then I build your training around those limiters using a combination of linear, undulating, block, reverse, and race specific periodization throughout the season. Training is organized into 3 to 4 week blocks, with the volume, intensity, recovery, and workout stimulus deliberately changing as you adapt.
Your swim, bike, run, strength, and recovery are programmed together. I review your TrainingPeaks data, provide daily feedback and adjust the plan based on how you’re actually responding. The result is a constantly evolving training plan designed around your weaknesses, your strengths, your schedule, and your race goals.
Whether you are a beginner or have podium goals...you will reach that here.
Coach Mike is a former USAT Elite and a Certified Ironman U, USA Triathlon (Long Course Specialty), USA Cycling, and USA Track and Field Coach with over 11 years of Coaching experience.
I coach small numbers so we can go deep into:
1. Your physical strength and injury history
2. Your training data and performance patterns
3. Your schedule, stress, and recovery reality
4. Your mindset and long term goals
What is my process?
1. Deep Onboarding
I look at your training history, your swim, bike and run data, injury and mobility limitations, bike fit and movement patterns, and your lifestyle and schedule. Above all you will find accountability and purposeful training. You will leann that this is coaching built for long term development, not just your next race.
2. A Clear Roadmap
In your first month you will see early wins in power and pace, pain reduction through sport specific mobility, rehab and strength, better pacing and execution, a. clear understanding of your zones, how your body responds, and your training purpose.
3. Weekly Adjustment
This is not static planning. Training evolves every week based on data trends, fatigue levels, life stress, injury signals, and race timeline. This is very hands on and athlete focused.
4. Teaching You the System
My goal isn't just to coach you. It is to help you understand your training so you become smarter and more confident as an athlete.
You will learn how and when to adjust pacing, how to manager recovery more efficiently, how to spot injury warning signs, how periodization works, all the way to nutrition and race planning.
