Description
Holistic Endurance Sports Coaching
What is holistic coaching? It includes additional areas of coaching to help the athlete enhance their performance in their main sport. Additional coaching includes customized strength and nutrition plans as well as stress and injury management. This service is for competitive runners, cyclists, triathletes, and duathletes. A TrainingPeaks account and activity tracker is required.
❗️NOTE: I only coach 5-10 clients per season. Please email me first to find out availability. If you do not require a holistic approach or you are not a highly competitive athlete, you can check out my streamlined personal coaching service here, providing services for athletic performance, body composition and personal self-development goals.
❗️NEW for 2024 – 3 MONTH MINIMUM COMMITMENT REQUIRED
Previously, I never required a minimum amount of time for coaching. However, the demand has increased and I want to work with dedicated and committed clients.
Three months allows me to time to collect your personal data and training preference, exercise history, goals and so on and organize it in a way that I can get set up, complete initial performance assessments, set your training zones/paces/power, etc, and build your first 4-week customized plan and begin help you to make improvements in your performance.
WHAT TYPES OF ENDURANCE SPORTS?
Coaching is available for all distances, including ultras and multi-day stage racing for both road and off-road terrain, for the following sports:
- running (road, trail, ultra)
- cycling (MTB, gravel, road)
- triathlon (all distances)
- duathlon (all distances)
HOLISTIC COACHING PACKAGE INCLUDES

WHAT MY ATHLETES SAY
“I have worked with Tammy since 2013! I started taking a couple of her fitness/running classes when she lived in Nova Scotia and shortly afterwards began training plans with her for running and then Triathlon. When she moved to Alberta, it was a sad day here … but through her online coaching plans, we have maintained a highly effective coach/athlete relationship! We are now working exclusively through TrainingPeaks. It is so incredibly seamless from the client side! We set goals together and then Tammy creates a plan. We have completed running, triathlon, and recovery plans. It is like Christmas morning when she uploads a new one! With Tammy’s online plans, TrainingPeaks, and my commitment to an active lifestyle, we have successfully met goal after goal. Tammy’s plans are personally created to work within my schedule, my abilities, and my goals. Life happens and when changes come up, she is so understanding and accommodating.” ~Heather Foote, Triathlete and longest-standing client
“Tammy designed a strength program for me, and coached me online through Training Peaks for my running. She did a fantastic job! I had amazing progress and crushed my goals with her help. Marathon training can be a grind but Tammy made it fun and an amazing journey. She is really such a warm and encouraging person. I would 100% recommend her for any kind of fitness coaching you may need!” ~Tayrn Gibson, Runner
“I’ve worked with Tammy towards my fitness goals over the past two years. She is an excellent coach, dealing with my shenanigans and helping me to grow as an athlete. My first big event (half ironman) with her I crushed my goals, and did it injury free. It was a lot of hard work and she kept me honest, and on track the entire time. 10/10 would refer her to others as a coach, especially for an endurance athlete. We do training rides together often, and she is a blast to work out with!” ~Chris Watton, former Triathlete, now an avid Cyclist
