COACHING

We only know one way to coach and that is the right way. Attention to detail, customized plans and constantly monitoring and evaluating how best to move forward. Andy, Daniel and the coaching staff will monitor your training daily to provide feedback or adjust accordingly. The staff is always available for your questions or to address any issues.

• Customized training programs

• Season plans

• Access to AP Racing strength training programs

• Access to coaching staff for questions, adjustments, etc

• Race day strategy and prep

• TrainingPeaks account

CUSTOM ANNUAL TRAINING PLANS

For POTTSHEADS ANNUAL club members, these aren’t just your normal training plans. And this isn’t your normal training plan program. Andy and Daniel have spent years developing a strategy around coaching and racing which you get to benefit from. More importantly, we can and will adjust your plans if you need us to. 

Here's how it works for Custom Training Plan Athletes
You sign up and tell us what you need a training plan for. Either to build for your A-Race, strength training plan, off-season plan, bike only plan, etc and then we build it; a 12-40 week plan specifically for you. It takes about 3 weeks of interaction between our team and you for our team to build your plan. Your team membership starts from the day you sign up until the next November 31st. All Plans start with a standard pre-season/off-season plan that starts on the 1st week of December.

SPONSOR DISCOUNTS

We understand triathlon is an expensive sport and we want to make it accessible to everyone. We crunched the numbers and our sponsor program is the best out there. We can provide coaching and everything you need to race, for the cost of what it would cost to just race if you were not part of our team.

• You can join AP Racing, get 1:1 coaching and purchase a bike for about what it costs to purchase a bike without our team purchase program. Yes- we rock and you save $.

• Priority Registration

• Lowest Price Offers for Camp Registration

It takes a village to build the best team in tri and our team leaders are the best in the game.

Apprenticeship Program
Our coaches go through a rigorous 2-3 year apprenticeship program that Andy + Daniel have created over the years.
AP Racing coaches have continuing education programs and are required to train with Andy + Daniel throughout their coaching career with AP Racing as there is a lot that which can learned ‘on the road’.

Coach by Committee:
We believe that every coach has valuable insights and experiences that are unique to them. So, while our athletes are assigned a coach, we actually meet monthly to collectively review and plan all of our athletes training. We are stronger as a team than as one; because as a team, we are one (see what we did there).

IT ALL STARTS WITH 2 FRIENDS DOING COOL STUFF
AP + DB have been working and training together since 2007. During this time, they realized that they really love doing cool stuff with cool people. They also realized that they can help a lot of folks by providing access to all of the things they have had through the years: Great education, Great Experiences, and Great Friendships. This is how AP Racing was born!
Daniel likes to say, between the two of them, they have over thirty IM1406 and IM703 wins. Their accolades speak for themselves and are too long to list, but the real ‘magic’ with these two becomes apparent when you spend time with them. Quickly, you realize that their desire to share their knowledge and experiences with every level of athlete is unmatched.

PRO, MOM + EVENT DIRECTOR
Jackie is a 5x IM703 Champion, 2019 US Snowshoe National Champion and entering her 11th year as a professional triathlete. Equally important, Jackie understands the difficulties of balancing life as an athlete, mom, event director and anything else you can throw into the mix. Jackie is from Milwaukee and runs a series of events there to help build the community and create learning experiences for athletes. If you ever wanted to know how to ‘do it all’ and transform from an Age Grouper to Pro, Jackie can show you the way.

SWIM SPECIALIST + COACH TO THE STARS
Holly started off as an AP Racing athlete and we quickly recognized her ability to coach both adults and youth athletes. Similar to Andy, Holly came to triathlon after a successful youth and collegiate swim career. Holly has coached swimming for over 20 years and has coached triathlon for the past 10 years. Holly specializes with our athletes who need more help with their swimming and our beginner/intermediate athletes(she really gets it) Don’t let that fool you though, she also has seen success with IM and IM703 winners too! Fun fact: Holly also coached 2 of the 3 lead actors on the show Baywatch to prep them for their open water swim scenes.

“GUYS ON BIKES… AND KATIE”
Katie started off attending our AP Racing Camp in Arizona and immediately became part of the AP Racing Family. ‘Guys on bikes…and katie’ was born after years of Katie training alongside Daniel, Andy and Brian. Not only a great triathlete, Katie is also a world class mountaineer. When she isn’t riding bikes, she can be found on one of Colorado’s 14ers, in South America or some place really high. . If you can get in Katie’s ride groups during camp, you won’t be disappointed. Her cheery disposition and penchant to befriend anyone, has made her a valuable asset to our team. “Climb higher, smile often”, that’s Katie’s motto.

FOREVER WITH US- FROYO MILE CHAMPION, #GETSOME GUY!
This past year, we lost our coach and dear friend to a tragic biking accident. Anyone that has met Brian knows that Brian was born to teach and motivate. It was such a passion for him that you sometimes questioned if it was even real, or if you could deal with it. But once you realized it was nothing but real, you could not get enough of it or do anything but appreciate him so much. Brian was made to squeeze everything he could out of every single day and he wanted you to too. A devoted father, husband, police officer, coach, ski patrol instructor, and friend. The superlatives I could use to talk about Brian are never ending, but the one thing I want to say about Brian was that he was family. We honor Brian by trying to #getsome everyday.

WHEN 140.6 IS NOT ENOUGH.
Caroline came into triathlon by accident. She was the kid in school who walked the mile in 19 minutes(maybe that’s why she likes Ultra’s) while the whole class watched from the finish. She became a music teacher and the first school she taught at did a corporate 5k run together, which finally helped her see the joy of running. A random flyer in a race packet led her to a super sprint event and she was hooked. After realizing she knew nothing about triathlon, she was determined to be better and eventually she found her way to the ultra distance triathlon world where she finished 2nd place at her Ultraman Florida. Caroline turned her love of teaching into a love of coaching and has been coaching independently since 2018 until she came to her senses and joined AP Racing. We are excited to have Caroline on board to help with our beginner triathlete program(did we mention she ran a program in Olympic City USA the past few years) and with our Ultra distance athletes.

THE ONE WHO PAVED THE WAY FOR EVERYONE ELSE
Steve was the first coach to work with AP Racing. He helped us create our coaching apprenticeship and training program and is an athlete favorite. As an athlete, very similar to Andy, Steve was not introduced to triathlon until his mid-20s. Unlike Andy , he received his first swim lesson also in his 20’s and signed up for his first Ironman without owning a bike. Don’t let that fool you, Steve is a first class athlete who uses his background as an All-State athlete in XC, Track & Field, and Soccer to catapult his success. Steve was also a collegiate B-ball player, high school x-country coach and Athletic Director. Steve’s diverse sports background and all around happy demeanor make him a great coach, training partner and friend.

PRO, DAD, AND LIFETIMES OF EXPERIENCE
Brian started his triathlon journey as a swimmer, cross country and track runner at Florida State(Go Osceola and Renegade) and represented the USA for over a decade. In the previous century, way back in 1998, Brian won the US Junior National Championships and then went on to place 2nd at the elite nationals. After a decade plus of globe trotting and dominating, Brian now resides full time in Colorado Springs with his wife and sons. Brian brings to the table the perspective of a professional athlete, full time dad/husband, and the time constraints and demands of an AG athlete.

BRAZILIAN FLAIR, STANFORD SMARTS
Gustavo joined AP Racing as a Crew Athlete in 2018 and has emerged as not only one of our top level athletes but also a world class coach. A Stanford PHD, Gustavo combines wicked smarts with real world application(and common sense) to optimize training for our athletes. At races, Gustavo can regularly be seen on top of the podium doing his patented Brazilian Samba moves or out on the road cheering on his athletes. Although it’s not on record, it is believed that Daniel once said that "Gustavo might be the only person who can descend as fast as him.” I don’t believe it but maybe we will have to find out at one of our camps.

THE WOLF PACK HAS NOW BECOME 3
Brian started off by attending our AP Racing Olympic City USA Camp. He then started 1:1 Coaching with us and soon after, he was the kid that was ‘always around.’ In truth, we invited Brian to train with Daniel and Andy over one summer and we just had so much fun together that we did not let him leave. Brian is a great resource for athletes as he has completely transformed as an athlete over the years + is one of the best training partners any one can have. He understands the demands of ‘life’ and the demands of starting triathlon from traditional ‘American’ sports. He leaves no stone unturned and also makes sure that AP Racing runs smoothly.

HE TRADED A BALL FOR A BIKE AND NEVER LOOKED BACK
Similar to Daniel, Scott’s athletic career took him to Europe to play professional soccer at a young age. After returning stateside, he realized that he still wanted to train competitively now that his soccer career was over. Since finding triathlon, Scott has went from a middle of the pack racer to an ‘off the front guy’, once he can catch you after he gets out of the water. If you ever want to learn flip turns, ask us to send you his flip turn video- it’s a classic. Scott has been working with AP Racing since 2016(he is an Old G’) and is our Tahoe Camp Director and a member of ‘The Crew’.

To say there is a typical week for every athlete wouldn’t be fair to what we do. We create training that is all about you! Your schedule, your goals, your life, your strengths and weaknesses.

All Types of Athletes: We have athletes that can only train 6-8 hours a week, travel Monday - Thursday for work, all of the way to professional athletes or aspiring professionals that train 35+ hours a week. We optimize your training based on your time. For me, I believe in the pro experience, and that’s what we create for all athletes.

For our 1:1 Athletes, their training is completely being updated, changed and reviewed. The way we work is by committee. You are assigned a coach who is your weekly point of contact. Your coach and the rest of the coaching staff meet on a bi-monthly basis to review what you have done and come up with a game plan going forward. Every coach has a slightly different perspective and strengths, so we use all of those things to help you get better.

For our Custom Training Programs, it is exactly that- Custom! What does that mean? It means we take your life stresses, the amount of time you have in your day(s), your race schedule(whether that is 1 race or 20 races), and your goals,. Then, we build the best plan available based on years of my training, coaching and experimenting with what works best.

If you have 1 hour per day or 6 hours per day, we maximize your time and training to set you up for success. We push potential by optimizing training load and stress over the course of days, weeks, and months. We have a few ways we combine workouts that can create the optimal stress and adaptation in your training without leaving you depleted and worried about how you will get it done. If you don’t understand what I just wrote, you need us more than you think. If you do, you know that you need us too :).

With that, let me show you a few sample weeks:

Athlete 1: Here is a sample two-week plan for an athlete who prefers to have Sundays off, can train on average 2-3 hours a day, and has 6 hours on Saturday. This athlete is a 4:20-:4:40 Half Ironman athlete who is about 5 weeks out from a key race: Below is an overview of the week and then a handful of sample individual workouts.
