When you improve your strength, durability, and endurance as a cyclist or runner, you'll be able to tackle your bucket list adventure goals and get your best performance.
At Simple Endurance coaching, I help you become more durable in order to improve your capacity to train and improve your performance as a cyclist or runner.
I am a former middle school teacher who retired early to help a limited number of everyday athletes improve their performance and achieve success - however they define it.
You have your bucket list of events you want to do, maybe with time goals or simply to finish.
But how do you hit those marks with limited training time and still have fun along the way? And how do you stay healthy while you train?
I’ll help you with coaching that includes endurance training, strength training, and yoga to improve your strength, durability, and endurance as a cyclist or runner.
As a cyclist or runner, you are always moving – but only in a forward direction.
To improve your performance, you need to improve your mobility and core strength without having to become a pretzel. I’m an older guy with lots of past broken bones, so I don’t move like a 25-year-old former dancer!
I’ll help you you move better, feel stronger, and breathe better, regardless of your age, ability, and flexibility.
You can improve your performance, strength, and durability by doing the right kind of strength training.
Not only will you build strength and fitness with lifting weights, but you will move better through life, prevent injury, and keep running or cycling as long as you want to!
You can purchase strength training plans or courses.
My coach, Paul, saw something in me that I didn’t see. He insisted that I do hard things with weights. I got stronger, but more importantly I developed confidence.
I’ve done hard things all of my life – as we all have – but never thought I could do hard athletic things. Coach Paul taught me that I can.
Today I was going to try to swim 1000 yards without taking a rest. As I approached 750 yards I was wanting to quit. But it occurred to me that I can do hard athletic things. Not only did I get my 1000 yards done, but I did it at a pace I’ll need to have when I do my first 70.3 next June. This was my longest, fastest swim since my surgery. Thank you, Paul!

What's Your Adventure?
So what are your goals?
What adventure goal is on your bucket list?
Riding the Stelvio in Italy? (That’s one of mine!)
Running parts of the Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin?
Skiing your best time at the Birkie?
Riding a fun gravel event?
Getting a PR in your running race?
Hanging with your friends on the weekend group ride?
Completing a century on the bike?
Improve your Sprint Triathlon time?
Upgrading from a Cat. 4 to Cat. 3 or 2?
You need structured, consistent training to reach cycling and running goals!
Regardless of your sport, your ability levels, your experience, or your physical condition, all endurance athletes need the same things:
increase aerobic endurance capacity
increase joint and muscular strength to improve performance and prevent injury
improve mobility in all movement directions for better health
I met Paul several years ago when he led a cyclocross clinic that I attended. His passion for teaching/coaching athletes was evident even then.
After he started his coaching/personal training business in 2019, I threw my hat in the ring to be part of his “adventure crew” in 2021 and was ecstatic to be chosen! The pandemic was a crusher for me mentally, so “adventure” was not in the cards. Paul shifted our focus to handle what I could while working to build my aerobic base from basically nothing leading into the offseason.
I have been well supported and well guided in the process of starting to regain my cycling fitness, learning a lot from Paul about things like Heart Rate Variability to help me train/recover more effectively. I highly recommend Paul as a coach/guide!
