Expert Endurance Sports Coaching
How do you pursue a big endurance sports goal and still have the energy for the people and activities you love? I'm Coach Rachel, a former professional triathlete and age group duathlon world champion, with 25+ years of coaching experience and over 1,500 athletes coached. I help athletes develop the systems and habits to reach their sport goals while keeping life in balance.
You're Committed. Let's Train with Confidence!
We're juggling a full life, and training has to fit into it, not compete with it. We care about improvement without sacrificing health, relationships, or sanity. We want to arrive on race day confident instead of anxious, energized instead of exhausted, healthy instead of injured.
Training for endurance sports requires more than motivation.
Here's what I'll help you do:
- Break through plateaus with training that actually makes sense for your body and your life season.
- Find the sweet spot between training load and recovery so adaptation happens consistently.
- Build the durability that keeps repetitive use injuries from derailing your season.
- Train with purpose so every session moves you forward, and you feel it.
- Arrive at the start line grounded, calm, and confident that you've done the right work at the right time.
We'll take the guesswork out of the equation, so you're not second-guessing whether you should train or rest. I review your training daily and get to know your life, so we always have a clear training strategy and a sense of when to push and when to hold back.
My Story.
My endurance sports story started in junior high running cross country and track. I competed at the Division I level at Syracuse University, then raced post collegiately with the Greater Boston Track Club and the Impala Racing Team in San Francisco. Running built my foundation. From there I found multisport, earned an age group World Championship title. competed professionally for a dozen years and closed out my elite triathlon career with a Long Course Triathlon Team World title.
I started coaching in the early days of my triathlon career. I used every tool at my disposal; my training and racing experience and later, the perspective of a mother, business owner, and someone who has navigated serious health challenges personally. I understand what's at stake for you because I've lived a version of it myself.
My coaching philosophy is simple: performance is built on consistency, not extremes. Strategic progressions, real recovery, foundational strength and mobility and open, honest communication are what make the coach-athlete relationship work. I think alongside you, adjust when life happens, and keep training focus on the bigger picture: you, thriving.

Is this You?
The athletes I work best with aren't necessarily the most experienced or fastest on the course. They're the most coachable. They show up consistently, communicate openly, and understand that sustainable progress beats spotty training and heroic effort every single time.
My athletes tend to be:
- Self-motivated and disciplined, but open to the input and direction of a Coach
- Ambitious about their goals and honest about their limitations
- Patient with the process but fired up about forward progress
- Committed to performing well and staying healthy doing it
- Ready to trust the strategy, even on the days it feels like not enough
If this sounds like you, let's talk about what a training strategy built around your actual life could look like.
