One on One Coaching
Coaching for the competitive athlete serious about their training and racing. All coaching is 100% customized to the athlete. Every athlete is different. Different background, resources, key races and goals at those races. Stand-alone plans and standardized “methods” just don’t work at this level. Every detail is looked at and considered. Training zones, workouts, perceived exertion, life/ work sch. background, goals, etc, so we are on the same page and our time together will be of the highest quality and the most effective. Other aspects of your life will be gone over as well. Training must fit into your life not your life around the training. Some of the actions included:
-unlimited contact
-unlimited plan adjustments
-Specific race planning and post-race analysis
-Nutrition coaching. (race day and every day)
-Testing. I test all aspects of your ability in each discipline. threshold testing is just step 1. I look at your full spectrum. anaerobic capacity, endurance capacity, technique durability and more.
– Local group workouts
– At race coaching

Consultations, Custom Training Plans
My intensive consultations can be for a team or individual athlete. This is also a great option for “non traditional” athletes. While I am known for my work with road cyclists and triathletes, I have also worked with groups headed to the Himalayas for climbing expeditions, technical ice and rock climbers, ski mountaineering, rowers, trail athletes and more.
Consultations can be used to design a custom training plan as well. Fees for this service are billed by the hour. These can be used for an individual or a group. Consultations can include any specific areas or a wide range including but not limited to:
- Training periodization (long and short term) for an event or a season.
- Specific /key training sessions or a complete training plan for your event.
- Data analysis of past races and training.
- Nutrition for race day or training.
- Building a custom plan for you.
The athlete will have a clear and complete understanding of their path to ideal preparation. Contact me HERE for availability and costs.
Group Coaching
Perfect for a small team or group of friends all working towards the same or similar event.
I format this just like the custom plan for an individual but with a group it’s much more cost-effective. includes set-up consultations and bimonthly zoom calls.
$200/ month for athlete 1, $35 for every athlete after that.

Testimonial: Ryan Vachon
“I have long thought that I understand how to best use my body to give the best bid at climbing routes that I deemed as hard. If logic is what you know, and intuition is molded by past experience, EK Endurance Coaching completely put me on a game changing path of self growth.
The logic and intuition from my past was fine, but at 41 years old the landscape of my personal performance is still expanding and I am crushing in the mountains harder than I ever could have imagined. This could not have been done with out Eric trumping my logic and intuition with tactics well beyond what was my spectrum, and unquestioning belief that I can accomplish my goals.”
