Hear how these athletes transformed with coaching from The Endurance Edge!
“The Endurance Edge has provided me with all the testing and training needed to achieve every endurance goal I have set. I could not have completed my full Ironman style triathlon without their support. I highly recommend them for all endurance sports testing, training, and nutritional needs.”
“I’ve been racing in triathlons for 13 years and collected a lot of last place finishes. Thanks to two years with The Endurance Edge, today I stood on the top of the podium.”
“My experience with The Endurance Edge has been nothing short of amazing! Her commitment to my success and attention to detail were astounding from the start and throughout my training. Our coaching calls never felt rushed and she always took the time we needed to answer my questions. I could tell she was listening carefully to my feedback as it was evident in the workouts that she would schedule for me. Chris helped to fit my workouts into my schedule and understood the importance of work/life/training balance. I was pleased with the sweat and metabolic testing services, as well. I accomplished my 10-year-long goal to complete an Ironman and Chris and The Endurance Edge community made it a fantastic experience!”
“I met Coach Chris at an Xterra Tri a couple years ago and almost immediately knew I could mesh well with her as my coach. I was self-coached for many years, always trying to find the right balance between business travel, fluctuating work hours, training load, weight lifting, swim/bike/run for tri, etc… I immediately recognized Chris’s talent for understanding the data and tailor fitting a training regiment to my ever changing travel schedule. She is basically always available and super flexible to accommodate her athletes. Most importantly, she is very real. Meaning… she isn’t going to do the work for you. She isn’t going to hold your hand and pat you on your rump to get you motivated to do the work. BUT… she certainly will be your #1 cheerleader when you do the work and accomplish your goals… big difference, which I truly appreciate. I can’t say enough about the help Chris and the EE team have given me. I truly enjoy being part of their team.”

Communicate regularly with your coach so you never get confused, stuck or overwhelmed (or lost in AI)! We’re here to support you along your journey, hold you accountable, but also know that life happens. PLUS, we collaborate regularly with our entire coaching team, so if your Coach doesn’t know an answer, they’ll get support from ALL our coaches.
using our unique metabolic and lactate testing, so you know how to train efficiently and effectively and know how much fuel you need (not just the auto-calculations from your watch or other internet calculator).
How long do the training programs last?
We require a minimum 6-month commitment, then you can continue month-to-month for as long as you’d like! Meaningful progress in your fitness, mindset, and goals takes time. Many athletes start with 6 months and stay for years!
What if I want to continue training with you after the 6 month commitment?
Great! You’ll be set up with ongoing month-to-month payments in the plan of your choice until you decide to upgrade, downgrade or cancel.
What if I do several endurance sports (or just one)?
We have many athletes who start off with a goal of doing a triathlon, but also want to do well in running or cycling-specific races. The same exercise physiology principles apply, and our coaches are well versed in everything from Ironman to gravel racing to off road triathlon to ultras.
What if I get injured or something unexpected happens?
It depends on the injury. We can adjust your training to focus on other activities, like gym workouts, swimming, or cycling, while you recover. If running isn’t an option, we’ll find a way to keep you moving!
If you prefer to pause your training, we offer a hold plan for $25/month, which reserves your spot, maintains your Training Peaks Premium account, and keeps you connected to our supportive community and exclusive discounts until you’re ready to return.
What if I want to switch coaches?
We understand that sometimes a different coaching style or expertise may be a better fit for your goals or personality. No problem—just let us know, and we’ll make the switch!
What if I need to cancel my training plan?
While it’s incredibly rare in the initial 6 month commitment period, if you do need to cancel, a one-month fee will be applied as your cancellation charge. After that, give us 30 days notice and we’ll cancel your plan.
If I go to a group workout, do I have to pay a fee?
No, we cover the cost of the coach, lane/gym/facility rental, insurance, and software fees and you just show up and workout!
Is coaching only for elite athletes? I’m not getting paid for this—Is it worth it?
Coaching isn’t just for pros! We work exclusively with athletes who aren’t paid to compete. This is your chance to invest in your health, get expert guidance to reach your goals, and discover what you’re truly capable of. No matter your skill or fitness level, you’re worth it.
What’s the cost of endurance coaching?
You’ll get all the details in our Open House! Our coaching offers unmatched value, combining expert guidance, personalized training, and a supportive community—all in one. More than just a coach, we’re your training plan, gym, and team, dedicated to helping you reach your goals efficiently and effectively (and making it fun!).

What if I don’t live in Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex, Chapel Hill or Morrisville, NC?
While many of our athletes live in Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex, Chapel Hill or Morrisville, NC, you can live anywhere in the country to work with us! While our metabolic testing is done in our Cary, NC office, many athletes drive or fly in to do so. We also have several virtual group workout classes to take advantage of too, so you connect to our community!
The Endurance Edge is an amazing resource for anyone interested in increasing their endurance sport performance; whether swimming, cycling, running, or combining in a full fledged triathlon. From nutritional guidance, physiologic data, or personalized coaching, it’s available. Even as an amateur athlete, I was able to get valuable training/physiologic data through the metabolic testing performed by Chris Newport. And no matter how my training season went, the coaching I received from Marty Owens was flexible and responsive to my training needs.
It’s been great to have someone to ask all of my questions to and get answers that are specific to my situation. With so many things, it depends – but having a person who knows your exact fitness level and work capacity is amazing. You can get very specific answers to your questions.
And this is great and all, but it also produces results. I’ve made much more progress in the past 6 months than I’ve made in several years. I would learn about something I should be doing, try it for a while, then have doubts and questions – is it supposed to feel this hard? am I going too easy? should I be doing more volume? am I overtraining? It’s been great to have someone with more experience look at my workouts and tell me when to back off and when to go for it.
I joined Endurance Edge 6 months ago for the Triathlon Beginners program. The experience exceeded my expectations so I have extended my membership. The program has been challenging and informative. The coaches are very supportive and knowledgeable. The expertise of Chris Newport is unique and coach Jason has been helping me along the way to achieve my goals. It is a great investment in my health. I feel confident with the expertise of the coaches for all sports modalities.
I have worked with Endurance Edge for a few years now and can’t say enough about the training, guidance and support that comes from all the coaches! I have been able to complete my first 70.3, improve my running times and train with really great people! I highly recommend The Endurance Edge! Coach Chris, Carlie, Anna, Ryan, Dee and LB will get you ready for your next race!
