Coach Matt:
Since becoming a full-time endurance coach nearly a decade ago, I’ve worked with hundreds of athletes of all ages, training for a variety of different endurance events, helping them achieve their personal fitness and performance goals.
Participating in endurance sports throughout high school led me to Baylor University where I raced for the cycling team and co-founded the Baylor University Triathlon Team before getting my start in coaching through youth swim teams. From there, I worked as a Triathlon Coach for Carmichael Training Systems (CTS) coaching clients from all the over world through regular communication and training camps, while simultaneously being the Head Coach of the Triathlon Team at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) leading two athletes to individual Collegiate National Championships in the last three years.
In addition to working with hundreds of clients over the last ten years, I’ve been fortunate to race and compete as both a professional and amateur triathlete in races ranging from sprints to the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. Although my first love is coaching and training others to achieve their goals, my experience racing and/or training on nearly every major olympic, 70.3, and Ironman in the United States has provided valuable insight into helping my clients.
Although I got my start through triathlon, I am passionate about training athletes for a variety of different events and goals, from ultra marathons to long distance gravel cycling events to military physical fitness tests (PFTs). So whether you’re looking to set ultra marathon course records like Rod Farvard, or complete your first sprint triathlon, consider reaching out and setting up a free consultation with me to go over your particular desires!
Coach Colin:
I am passionate about endurance sports, but I haven’t found anything to connect to like trail running. I tried both triathlon and road running only to learn that my heart is in long adventures, varied terrain, and uphill efforts. My endurance journey has come slower due to a lack of endurance history, but I have already found some success winning some local 10ks and a local trail race. I look forward to pushing my boundaries and chasing the top step of the podium at ultra running events later this year. Alongside this improvement, I’ve worked hard to make my training as efficient as possible by learning, digesting everything I can in relation to this sport. I am excited to impart this knowledge on athletes new (and old) in the future, in an effort to help them improve and reach personal goals.
