Begin your Consult in 4 Easy Steps

Step One: Choose the type of consult that you desire:

Type	Description
General Fitness	Need help getting started working out or just need some guidelines to setting up an exercise program to improve your overall fitness? We can answer your questions and put you on the path to success!
General Nutrition	Our nutritional consultation consists of a detailed dietary analysis and review of your training and weight goals in order to provide you with actionable recommendations and a sample nutrition plan.
Mental Skills Training	When racing a triathlon or other endurance event, you need to have the fitness to cover the distance, but being fit isn’t enough. As you strive to improve your performance, strong mental skills like visualization, concentration and maintaining a positive attitude become even more critical for success. Learn and practice these skills with us.
Performance Acceleration	Are you looking to take your performance to the next level? Do you need advice from an expert coach and experienced athlete in order to make the most effective use of your time? Let one of our experienced coaches provide key insights and advice to take your performance to the next level.
Race Day Nutrition	Eating and drinking properly on race day will delay fatigue and improve performance. We'll analyze your existing nutrition plan and offer you suggestions based on scientific research and more than 20 years of experience.
Strength Training	The human body is made up of more than six hundred muscles, which provide the movement for swimming, biking and running. Athletes cannot maximize their power output and ultimately their performance without first developing sufficient strength. We can help you develop a progressive strength training program to not only become stronger but also go faster.
Training Plan Review	We will review your training plan and provide our professional opinion on it. We will help you adjust your plan, give you suggestions to make it better and allow you to pick our brains so that you can achieve your goals.
Weight Loss	Maintaining a healthy weight is vital to long-term health. For an athlete, an extra five pounds may be the difference between a podium placing and finishing out of the money. Let us help you put on the smart path to meet your weight loss goals.

David and Krista work with all types of endurance athletes drawing on experiences with more than 100 triathlons plus other accomplishments including marathons, century (and longer) bike rides, adventure races, cross country ski events and other endurance activities like hiking the Swiss Alps and completing the weeklong Special Operations Force Academy.

4. Do we meet in person, talk over the phone, communicate via email?

It's entirely up to you. You have the flexibility to choose whatever format works best for you. Some clients prefer to meet face-to-face (Boulder, CO) but most will communicate primarily via phone or email.

5. Is there a set format to follow?

No. Many of our clients have specific questions such as planning a triathlon season; choosing a triathlon bike; tapering for an Ironman, developing a race day strategy; whatever. . . . they just don’t know how to go about it. They want and need a coach to “tell them what to do." Other clients need a coach to help them figure out the answers to the questions they don't even know to ask. Each session is adaptable to your unique needs and questions.

6. Do we need to schedule our time together?

If you want to work in person or want a phone appointment at a specific time then you will need to contact your coach in advance via email or phone to arrange a scheduled appointment.

Otherwise, you are welcome to just email or call your coach. He or she will get back to you with answers and recommendations as quickly as possible.

7. Can I send my coach my training plan to evaluate or ask him or her to write a training plan for me?

Absolutely. Many clients value David and Krista's ability to craft training plans from scratch that puts them on the path to success. We don't just give you a "cookie cutter" schedule. We add our own experiences, observations and wisdom to customize a plan to your unique abilities, experiences, constraints and goals.

8. How long does it take my coach to get back to me to review a training plan?

If your request can be handled within 24 hours, it will be. If the scope of the work you have submitted is more complex and will take longer than 2 hours of on-the-clock time, your coach will email an estimate of the time it will take to complete your request for your approval before he proceeds.

9. How much lead-time does my coach need to prepare for a phone or in-person appointment?

Please submit your questions and material at least 48 hours in advance of a scheduled appointment to ensure that your coach will have enough time to apply his experience and wisdom to your questions and prepare appropriate recommendations to ensure that you make the most of your time together.

10. Can I obtain more time with my coach if needed?

Absolutely. You are welcome to purchase another consulting session at any time.

11. On a tight budget?

Would you like to benefit from our triathlon expertise but are not ready to work with a coach one-on-one yet?

Consider ordering David's book, Full Time and Sub-Nine: Fitting Iron Distance Training into Everyday Life or purchasing a training plan.
