Bronze "Advisor"
- choice of training plan (semi customized)
- unlimited emails with your coach
- all benefits of TriForce membership
- does not include a regular coach check in or review of your logs other than a quick overview before loading your next training block
Silver Coaching
- SUMMARY: Same as the gold package except you check in via email weekly to update your coach on your progress as opposed to coach reviewing your logs every week. As opposed to Gold, coach reviews your training logs every 4th week to give feedback and plan your upcoming training blocks. This works best for more proactive clients who will check in weekly to maintain a good weekly feedback loop.
- NEW OPTION FOR 2020
- training plan 100% customized for you
- unlimited emails with your coach client checks in weekly via email and coach responds
- coach does a big picture review of clients training MONTHLY in Trainingpeaks (not an in depth weekly review like Gold)
Gold Coaching
- Summary: We plan out your season, load your training plans in 3-6 weeks blocks, adjust the big picture of your season and plans as changes happen, providing unlimited email contact and weekly feedback (adjusting your training as needed). This is the most popular option and the one used by most of our Kona qualifiers.

Which coaching package do your recommend?
SHORT ANSWER: I recommend the “Gold” coaching package. That provides all the support needed to achieve any goals including qualifying for Kona. Most of our athletes who have qualified for Kona have been on this plan. (It includes a fully customized plan, unlimited email, weekly in depth review of logs.)
Exceptions:
* I recommend the more expensive “Platinum” package for athletes who won’t be stretching their budget to pay for it. Also, it only makes sense for athletes who log their workouts and comment on them promptly. Yes, it’s “better” than Gold (it includes daily feedback to logged workouts as opposed to weekly for Gold), but it isn’t necessary for most athletes to achieve their goals.
* I recommend the cheaper “Silver” package for athletes are on bit of a tighter budget and who will be proactive about checking in weekly and asking questions of your coach. We still have a weekly feedback loop (provided you check in!) but your coach only goes into your logs every 4th week so the review of your training and adjustment of the training plan often isn’t as in depth as with Gold.
* I recommend the “advisor” package for an athlete who is looking for a big step up from self coaching or following a generic training plan, but who doesn’t want or need “full coaching.” This is MUCH better than using a generic training plan since your plan will be customized to build from your current fitness to your “A race” and it also has unlimited email contact with your coach. However, since there isn’t a regular feedback loop it isn’t what we’d consider “real coaching.” As with all packages you are a full member of the TriForce community with all benefits.
