What does an endurance coach do?

An endurance coach designs and manages a personalized training program built around your physiology, race goals, and lifestyle. The coach analyzes your performance data, adjusts workouts based on your progress and recovery, provides race-day strategy, and supports you through training plateaus, setbacks, and breakthroughs. A good endurance coach saves you years of trial and error by giving you the right training at the right time.

How much does endurance coaching cost?

At Catalyst Endurance Coaching, monthly packages range from $200 to $400 per month depending on the level of support and analysis you need. Bronze is structured one-on-one coaching for self-motivated athletes. Silver adds bi-weekly check-ins, video form analysis, and the Athlete Archetype Assessment. Gold delivers daily plan adjustments, weekly data analysis, and unlimited communication.

Do I need to live near you to work with Catalyst?

No. Most of our athletes train remotely. Online endurance coaching is the standard delivery model — you'll have unlimited communication, video calls, and full data analysis no matter where you live. In-person testing and form analysis is available for athletes within a 60-mile radius of Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

What sports does Catalyst Endurance Coaching cover?

We coach across all three endurance disciplines — running (5K through ultramarathon), cycling (road and gravel), and triathlon (sprint through full Ironman) — as well as multisport events that combine them.

What's included in monthly coaching packages?

Every package includes a personalized annual training plan, weekly workouts delivered through TrainingPeaks, sport-specific resistance programming, benchmark testing, and direct communication with Coach Ted. Higher-tier packages add video form analysis, the Athlete Archetype Assessment, weekly data review, and recovery monitoring.

How is online endurance coaching different from a downloaded training plan?

A downloaded plan is static — written for a generic athlete and never adjusted. Online endurance coaching is dynamic — your plan adapts every week based on how you're recovering, how training is going, and what life is throwing at you. You also get a real coach to answer questions, review form, and adjust strategy in real time.

What is the Athlete Archetype Assessment?

The Athlete Archetype Assessment is our proprietary physiological profile that identifies whether you're an aerobic, balanced, or anaerobic athlete. It uses field-based testing in swim, bike, and run, and produces a personalized training plan matched to your specific physiology rather than a generic template.
