Are You a Busy Triathlete With Big Dreams?
Your triathlon success isn’t about squeezing in endless hours of training, it’s about having a clear, focused plan and nailing the essentials week after week.
Between work, family, and other commitments, training effectively can feel overwhelming. And with so much conflicting advice, it’s easy to jump from one thing to another, never quite making the progress you need.
I’m Coach Kevin Coady, and I’ve been where you are—in 2008 I was juggling work and going to school at night, searching for clues to help me achieve my big triathlon dream of a sub 10 Ironman. Traditional Ironman training wasn’t going to work for me so I started to find a smarter, more efficient ways to train and I achieved my goal of a sub-10-hour Ironman on just 10 hours of training per week.
I became a coach to help others achieve their own success. For over a decade, I’ve guided countless athletes—from parents to Google executives—to reach their triathlon goals while managing the demands of work, family, and life. My passion is empowering others to pursue their dreams, no matter how challenging their schedules.

I sought Kevin’s coaching expertise during a pivotal time in my life when I was changing professions, entering menopause, and my decades-long running career had become rather stale.
Running had always been a part of my life, but I was not looking forward to the daily efforts anymore, and I’d really started to wonder why. After learning about my background, Kevin provided me with a great training program that started way back at ground zero. It created the right amount of structure and was easy to digest.
Within a relatively short time, I found my love for running again and even put a goal race on the calendar…and then received a cancer diagnosis – devastating. 3 years later, we’ve endured and recovered from cancer, major surgeries, family-life events, and other more minor hiccups.
Through it all, Kevin has listened, helped me set reasonable goals, kept me honest with maintenance, flexed through setbacks, and he’s always supported my quest to be better/stronger/faster. Since joining Kevin’s team, I’ve run 3 marathons, qualified for the Boston Marathon, and am headed for my first ultra-distance race in 6 years.
I’m so incredibly grateful for this partnership, and at 52 years old, I’m excited for “what’s next!”
