COACHING
We all have our bucket lists of events we want to do. And we all have our target on goal times for our events.
But how do we hit those marks and still have fun along the way?
Simple Endurance coaching is equal parts cheerleader, trainer, teacher, and guide.
Most of the people I support simply want to improve on yesterday.
YOGA
As everyday endurance athletes, we are always on the move – but only in a forward direction
But to get stronger and faster, we need to slow down and improve our mobility and core strength without having to become a pretzel.
Simple Endurance Coaching yoga helps everyday athletes of all ages and abilities improve their strength, mobility, and breath control.
STRENGTH
You can find speed, endurance, and power on the bike and on the running trail through a year-long strength training.
Lifting weights helps build strength not only for your sport but to move better through life.
I provide individualized personal training for cyclists, runners, and others at the Simple Training studio in Muskego.
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?
We ride bikes, run on roads and trails, swim in lakes and pools, ski on cross-country trails.
We are everyday athletes.
Yes, you too.
Even if you don’t think you “qualify,” if you have goals and plans as a runner, cyclist, triathlete, or cross-country skier, you are an everyday athlete.
Simple Endurance Coaching helps everyday endurance athletes achieve their adventure and challenge goals through a mix of endurance training, strength training, and yoga.
So What Are Your Goals?
What adventure 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 the Birkie?
- Bikepack a long dirt trail.
What PRs and PBs do you want to break?
- 5k?
- Century on the bike?
- Sprint Triathlon?
- Upgrading from a Cat. 4 to Cat. 3 or 2?
Endurance Sport Goals Need Training
Regardless of your sport, your ability levels, your experience, or your physical condition, all endurance athletes, pros and everyday athletes alike, need the same things:
- increase endurance capacity
- increase joint and muscle 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 20??, 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!

Keep Your Training Simple - and Fun
What Is An Everyday Athlete?
We are “everyday athletes,” even if we’re reluctant to sometimes call ourselves that.
For most of us, just finishing an adventure or challenging event is enough.
Sometimes, we want to beat our previous best, but we aren’t crushed if we don’t.
We are just people who want to run, ride, or ski ourselves into better health as well as push our personal limits a little.
We know we need to train to accomplish these goals.
But how much training? When? What’s the best schedule?
