The custom plan I build for you is ideally suited for your needs and is the heart and soul of this business. It is tailored to your objectives, athletic background, and training constraints. To make it unique to you, I’ll ask you to describe your life outside multisport.
Following a thorough review with you, Coach Don will create a customized plan just for you. In this plan, we will take into account all the information you provided and layout race-by-race, month-by-month, and week-by-week training that is targeted to your objectives. We do the hard part of laying out a plan for you; you get to do the fun part of doing the workouts and racing.
Types of plans available include triathlon, duathlon, swimming, biking, and running, and combinations of the above. Coach Don’s own current training for the 2012 season includes triathlons ranging in length from sprint to Ironman distance, as well as a national championship duathlon and an open water swimming race. One of our current clients is training for a triathlon season at sprint and Olympic distances (his first open – water experience) with a marathon after the triathlon season.
Each plan includes an overview of the plan with your annual training hours, season goals, training objectives, and week-by-week listing of races and their priorities training period, strength training, weekly hours, and other details. Each plan also contains a period-by-period graphical week- at- a- time view of each day’s training with training period notes detailing each day. In addition, you will frequently receive additional details on exactly what to do in a workout.

With each plan, you’ll receive an initial consultation to discuss, clarify, and review, your plan details. The plan overview and provided period- by -period details are delivered as tabs in an Excel format. Individual workout details, such as strength training or swim workouts, are delivered in Word documents as e-mail attachments.
Custom plan features include:
- Unlimited phone and e-mail contact with Coach Don.
- Totally personalized schedule for you.
- Unlimited schedule revisions as needed.
- Unlimited feedback on your workouts.
- Free personalized coaching in the Dayton, Ohio area
- Some race support (If you are in Dayton doing a local race, and Don is not racing elsewhere, he will probably be at the race).
All of this is provided for a very reasonable price of $100/month with no contract and no start up fee.
As mentioned above, we will rework your plan is many times as we need to. It doesn’t matter why we have to do it, rework happens because your work schedule changes, a personal conflict comes up, and other uncontrollable factors that are part of life. In Coach Don’s case, he recently dropped a board on his foot, broke a toe and had to revert to 5 min runs after four weeks with no running. You might not to need to rework for this reason; however, we know that rework is inevitable and it is built in to our planning

Also, you are encouraged to send Don feedback on your training; he needs to know if your workouts are too easy or too hard, etc. And, we always welcome your race photos, especially if you release us to have your photo on this site.
