WE GO BEYOND THE TRAINING. This is a core value of ours. As an experienced coach and athlete, we've found that training is only part of the puzzle. We work with our athletes on maximizing their resources to best reach their goals. We design their training to be fun and sustainable for long term success, happiness and growth. When Eric started EK Endurance Coaching he promised himself and his client’s one thing: he would never compromise an athletes training to be a business man. Ever. “I thought it might take longer to grow, longer to make this a living, or maybe I would just fail altogether, but I didn’t care, I figured, I’ll just work harder.” Eric grew up in the outdoors and loved everything it had to offer. Early on he started ice climbing and mountaineering, culminating with his trip to the Andes achieving an unofficial speed record on a 20,000 foot peak. Throughout college Eric studied environmental science, writing, and nutrition. As captain of the varsity rowing team his junior and senior year he led the team to a silver medal at the New England Rowing Championships. After college he pursued making the lightweight national team. Along the way he led several boats to national championships gold medals and other prestigious wins. At the end of 2001 Eric began racing on the road bike and competing in multi sport, now getting top 10 results in the pro ranks as a Category 1 cyclist. When Eric designs a training program he crafts it with his years of knowledge and experience in a vast array of sports and helps athletes with everything from overcoming a simple training obstacle to designing a three-year build up for the Hawaii Ironman. Personally: Eric lives in Boulder, CO with his wife, and enjoys training hard, slow mornings with lots of coffee, and a big breakfast. Currently training for the Ironman St. George with hopes to return to the world championships in Kailua-Kona Hawaii. His biggest athletic accomplishments are upgrading to cat 2 road racer in 2009 and qualifying for the ironman world championships at IM lake placid in 2011. Professionally: Eric is head coach and founder of EK Endurance Coaching and is currently training athletes for Trithalon, Cycling and Mtn Biking.
