Your Custom Training Program
from Professional Triathlete and Coach Brandon Marsh

Tired of using a generic training programs and wish you had something created just for you? Want a program designed by a world-class coach? I'm happy to now offer a fully personalized training program based on your needs and for whatever distance you need - sprint, Olympic, half-Ironman or Ironman. Cookie-cutter programs just aren't good enough for you. You deserve the best and I look forward to creating your program for you.

After signing up, you'll receive an Athlete Questionnaire via email. This questionnaire will gather complete information on you, your training and racing history as well as your goals. It will also provide the nuts and bolts of your life schedule (number of training hours per week, key workout days, long bike and run day, etc.).

Armed with your information from the questionnaire, I'll do a complete evaluation of your previous training and racing. I'll determine your strengths and weaknesses as a triathlete. I'll evaluate your goals and determine how to best advance you toward them. If necessary, I'll follow-up to gather more details or get clarifcation.

Lastly, I'll design and build a fully customized program just for you. Using the training principles that have led to the successes you've read about on this website, your program will gradually but progressively guide you toward your race(s). You'll train optimally and avoid the pitfalls that come with following a generic program. You'll become a better triathlete.

Once the design step is completed, your new program is emailed to you along with other helpful worksheets, charts, tips and tricks. Then, you're off and running (literally) toward your goals!

Simple as that.

Testimonials

"The 2 most successful seasons of my triathlon career have been under the direction of Brandon.  With his direction I was able to realize several of my goals:  Winning the eight state South Central Region Xterra Points Series for my age group, breaking 5 hours for a 1/2 Ironman, and completing my first Ironman (Lake Placid).  Brandon's approach is well calculated, easy to follow, and based upon your goals for the season.  He regularly asks for input and is willing and able to use this feedback to further refine your program.   His knowledge of all distances and proficiency in all three disciplines of the sport enable him to design the best program for you and your goals." KG

"Brandon started coaching me when I was 56, a few months after I completed my first marathon and half Ironman, which both left me rather depleted of strength, energy and speed.  On top of my life as a triathlete, I have two careers with eyes on a third, so training has to be squeezed in whenever possible.  Brandon fully understood the constraints to my training and created my schedules accordingly with flexibility built in.  Brandon helped me learn the importance of key workouts and periodization which has allowed me to regain and improve on my racing abilities." Philip
