Kyle Halloran, Tristar Athletes Coaching
I began competing in triathlons back in 2009. I loved everything about the sport and ate up all information available as a new student in the game. While training and racing fed my obsession, being self-coached presented several challenges, namely a performance plateau. I enjoyed a brief stint with a coach in 2011 that produced some desired results and overuse injuries that ultimately steered me away from coaching for another 4 years. While I tried to recreate the PRś achieved under a coach between 2012-2015, I simply wasn't getting faster, which was a problem.
Due to a lack of wind resistance while running on a treadmill, the effort of running on a treadmill at 0% incline is less than that of running on a level road at the same pace. Our Tristar chart can help you get an approximate equivalent effort for zones between running on a treadmill at different paces and inclines and running outdoors on a level surface. Learn how you can use the normalized graded pace incline chart to target different pace zones with slower uphill running efforts.
As the CEO and master of your mind, you determine and decide each day what thoughts are allowed to enter you consciousness and be acted on.

As the adage goes, there is no ”I” in team and I want to join your team, helping get you to the start and finish lines of your races. I enjoy creating individualized training plans that reward discipline and consistency as well as providing experienced guidance to achieve your goals." —Coach Suzanne Turner
"Consistency trumps 'big days'. Continuously making deposits in the fitness bank, as small as they may sometimes seem, will make a big withdrawal on race day that much more manageable. That said, every so often 'life happens' and some course-correction is inevitable - that's where the TriStar coaching approach, backed by science and experience, is guaranteed to make a difference." —Coach Attila Kelemen

Tristar athlete, you are training hard.. really hard?! …And you are more consistent than ever in your dedication and approach. Are you feeling you are poised for something great…. yet you are tired and questioning whether or not you will get there. Are you ready? How can you tell crippling fatigue from fatigue that can generate a higher level of training?
“I I love that I don't have to think if I don't want to - the plan is there and ready for me every day in a super clear, easy to understand format. I've also noticed that my training plan is scarily accurate! On the workouts when I think to myself "I'll just see what I can do and not follow the specifics of pace and effort", I end up performing exactly as the plan had suggested! It seems that my coach knows exactly what I am capable of at every step of my training and the workouts are perfectly aligned as a result!”
— Kim Hollingdale
“I like that training plans are tailored to my body, allow some flexibility for my schedule and even take into account my mental state. I’m a working professional with a family. My coach’s thoughtful training plans allow me to build on my progress as an athlete while managing work, family and other obligations.”
— Chris Graves
