Coach Bernie after his second Ironman World Championship finish

Welcome and thanks for stopping in.

CoachBernie.org specializes in developing comprehensive multi-sport training programs for all ages and abilities - from the first season sprint triathlete to the long-distance veteran wishing to qualify for Kona or Boston.

Coach Bernie's athletes train between five and 20 hours per week depending on their experience, goals and available time and we use a mix of training methods and mental preparedness to maximize athletic performance. Essentially, plans for athletes focusing on shorter distance races include more high intensity work than athletes training for long-distance races. However, we believe in building a strong base of aerobic conditioning before moving into interval-based session. We also believe in supplementary strength training to maintain or improve power and to prevent injuries.

In case you're curious about the photos on top-left to right: Coach Bernie with his own former coach, Paul Huddle; Coach Bernie in the lava fields of Kona during the 1997 Ironman World Championships; Coach Bernie with Lance Armstrong after riding from LA to DC in eight days as part of Armstrong's 20-person Tour of Hope team to raise awareness for cancer research and clinical trials; Coach Bernie with his fifth-place age group finish at the 1995 Ironman World Championships.

We hope you enjoy the site.
