Coaching That Fits Your Life, Not The Other Way Around
Many athletes don’t need more motivation.
They need clarity.
They need structure.
They need someone who can help them navigate training, recovery, nutrition, racing, travel, family, work, and everything in between.
That’s where coaching comes in.

Athlete Success Stories
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.”

Got questions? We have answers!
Is there a minimum commitment before training?
Yes, 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 an affordable 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!
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.
If you’re looking to be more competitive, apply for our annual Racing Team.
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 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!
