Push-ups are one of those exercises you either love or hate—there’s rarely an in-between. For years, I dreaded them, but I’ve learned to embrace their benefits because they are truly one of the best bodyweight exercises you can do. Push-ups are a fantastic full-body movement, engaging your chest (pectoralis major), shoulders (deltoids), triceps, serratus anterior, […]

Sidenote from Coach Jen: Transitions in the triathlons can be tricky. Yes, the clock is still ticking.

SideNote from Coach Jen: As I have retired from the sport of triathlon, I still have a strong mindset, when it comes to finishing a HIIT workout or going for a run, or knocking out a hard yoga move. Once an athlete, always an athlete. I think there is one thing I could do better […]
Side note from Coach Jen: How do you train for triathlon the simple way? Is there a simple way to prepare for an Ironman Triathlon or a 70.3 Ironman Triathlon? What about an Olympic Triathlon or a Sprint Triathlon? I will be brutally honest: NO, there is NOT a shortcut to training for an Ironman Triathlon […]
Three Ironman Triathlons in Nineteen Weeks… My Coaching Perspective: With my triathlon coaching, we prepare you for the worst and hope for the best.
