Approach
We take an individual approach to ultraman training. Every athlete is different, and we believe that a training program should follow you, instead of you following the program. The structure of the ultraman coaching program is centered around the concept of specificity i.e. the closer you get to race day, the more race-specific the training becomes. In general, the training is phased as 1) transition from prior season 2) focus on areas for improvement 3) laying the foundation 4) race specific prep 5) race 6) back to transition. Over the course of several years, the idea is to maximize your strengths, overcome your weaknesses, and ultimately achieve your potential in the sport.
