Endurance racing is all about expecting the unexpected. I'm a Maui based endurance coach and after many years racing in Hawaii, I've learned that nothing ever goes as planned. I never thought that I would ever be a coach. But after years of pounding up and down the Kona coast, I've learned a lot! People began asking for advice as the years went by which prompted me to make sure I was doing everything I could to have sound, scientific and well researched advice to give back. Continuing my education is fun for me. The silver lining was I integrated this knowledge into my training and improved! I also really enjoyed the results of being able to help people reach their goals.
The best thing about being a certified coach is learning how to streamline and integrate workout plans into an athlete's life in the most efficient way possible. The best thing about having a coach work for you is not having the daily worry of what workout to do, how hard to go, what the recovery should be and what kind of nutrition should I plan for. Plus, its always nice to have someone on your team that's invested in you reaching your training and race day goals.
