Of athletes coached across 25+ years.

Three sports, one athlete, one plan.

Triathlon training is a balancing act. Jen builds your swim, bike, and run into one plan that fits your week, targets your limiters, and keeps you healthy, with every workout delivered through TrainingPeaks and adjusted based on how you respond.

Because she has raced more than 225 triathlons herself, Jen coaches the details that make race day click: open-water starts, transitions, pacing, and fueling. Athletes train with her online from all over the world and in person around Chicagoland.

Questions athletes ask

Which triathlon distance should I start with?
Most new athletes start with a sprint. Jen helps you pick the right first race and builds the plan to get you there confident.
Do I need a coach for a sprint or Olympic triathlon?
A coach turns scattered workouts into a plan that fits your life and actually progresses. Athletes at every distance benefit from that structure.
Do you coach draft-legal or nationals-level racing?
Yes. Jen has coached athletes to USA Triathlon Nationals and ITU-style racing as well as local sprint podiums.
Can I be coached remotely?
Yes. Coaching runs through TrainingPeaks with regular feedback, so where you live does not change the quality.
