Triathlon Training:

Our Triathlete Training Program is based on endurance and conditioning coaching and is located on the South Shore of Massachusetts. We also offer premium online coaching services to athletes around the United States. The programs are created by experienced Veteran Training Staff and Former Military Instructors and supported by a strong network of Coaches and Athletic Conditioning Trainers. The Veteran Training Team aims to become one of triathlon's strongest networks of like-minded athletes across the United States.

Our motto is simple: To provide triathlon coaching programs within a structured and motivating individual and squad environment. Whether this means training on a daily basis with an instructor in a safe training environment, The Veteran Training Endurance Team or our online coaching program, you can be assured that joining will be a step in the right direction towards that next big event.

Our unique community training forum off and online ensures that our athletes have instant access to a range of beneficial reading and visual material relevant to their training preparation. This also gives them the ability to learn directly with their coach and teammates and in doing so helps to build the camaraderie that we, as a team, aspire towards.

We run regular training camps around local events, including our weekly Veteran Training Beach Triathlon and Endurance Boot Camp held every Saturday in preparation for the Ironman distance triathlon event in September.

So, if you want to improve and get motivated this season, you should now look through our wide range of coaching services catering to every need and budget.

Remember, it’s the Teamwork that we build at Veteran Training which will ensure your enhanced performance and enjoyment of this sport!

Group Triathlon Training

Many coaches and athletes believe that to be really successful at this sport and too truly tap into your own potential, you need to train alone...all the time. But this isn’t how you race is it? Our approach is very different. The environment and spirit that we nurture within our Team is a true reflection of how successful you can be with the right support from your coaches and just as importantly, your fellow teammates.

Our vision is simple: provide those with a true passion for triathlon and multisport with an environment in which to train where both individual attention and group motivation are not just possible, but essential. We prove that it is possible to cater effectively to a wide-range of abilities- from those new to the sport, all the way up to those at the top of their ability. We do this by recognizing that the shared bond of a common goal can be an exciting and empowering element to your preparation. We all have something to learn, and often we may learn something we never thought possible form those that we least expected.

Until now, many adult age-group athletes have historically chosen to train solo, more often than not due to necessity with time commitments and the misunderstood belief that to train smarter, you must train alone. It is becoming increasingly apparent however that despite triathlon being one of the major "boom-sports" of our era, it is also a sport which sees a massive drop-out rate, typically after just two seasons. This phenomenon can be easily explained:

• YEAR 1 = you have the open eyes of someone who is new to the sport, everything is exciting, you are always motivated to train, every challenge is looked upon with vigor.

• YEAR 2 = you've had a good first season, you now want to get more serious and work on any weaknesses you may not have developed and aim to build-up for your first long-distance event. You read everything you can, maybe download a few training programs, and move out to reach first place, but rapidly realize that training 15 to 20hrs a week in the dead of winter by yourself is not all that it’s cracked up to be! Sure, you get to your event and even post a good time in the process, but will you honestly be able to keep this up year-in, year-out? You wouldn't be the first and will you be the last, to say "no" in this event.

How do we know this? Our Coaches have all been 'there' as experienced Trainers and Competitors and so too have the majority of our athletes – that’s why they choose our approach over others. We have the desire to train Athletes to win as well as teach them how to do so on their own.

So how does our approach work and how can it work for you? Essentially we are a triathlon training team with endurance athletes that form part of our unique training community from all over the United States.

Back in 1998 we devised a new training program, one which had never been attempted before, but has been copied many times since. This program has seen Civilian and Military athletes with a huge variety of abilities, all train together with the common goal of the Triathlon, Decathlon and Endurance Race. The success of our program has been shown through the years as we have coached and won the Army Ten Miler, 60 mile Perimeter Challenge Adventure Race, Morale Welfare & Recreation Triathlon, Multiple All American Boxing Championships and numerous other civilian Endurance competitions.

We provide althletes up to 15 coaching sessions per week, which offers them a unique opportunity to receive regular feedback on their progression and have their efforts managed according to their individual rate of improvement. With a primitive form of the Veteran Athletes Toolkit we ensure that each athlete is working at their correct training intensity, while still having the motivational benefit of training within a "squad'. All athletes are encouraged equally, and NO-ONE is ever left behind or left to feel like they are "holding the group up". After 16 weeks and our team bonding everyone is ready to race. In our last event, every single athlete on the Veteran Training team finished the race with a new personal record.

Over the last two years we have been further developing our methods and conditioning standards. We are now taking that same original program and adding new approaches, as well as inviting others from near and far to join the team! This is possible through our elite personal online coaching service provided by the leading personal training and athletic coaching company in the state. We also offer a new online training forum which enhances the communication between both coach and athlete and between team members, wherever they may be in the world. Our network of certified trainers ensures that we maintain connections with our Veteran training Team members at all times.

Put simply, The Veteran Training Team will help you develop a passion for endurance sports!
