Mike Plumb

COACH

“Triathlon is a unique event that encompasses three very different sports combined into one. Similarly, its athletes come from a wide variety of backgrounds–they may be former swimmers, cyclists, runners, or have no particular background in athletics at all. For this reason, I don’t have one rigid philosophy that I expect everyone to fit into. I prefer to put together a program that matches each individual’s strengths and weaknesses in order to develop their full potential as we build towards their long and short-term goals.”

Athletes

Mike specializes in data-driven training. One of his greatest strengths as a coach and lifelong athlete–still competing at 60+ in cycling and aquabike–is evolving the training to maximize our potential over decades. He brings with him a deep knowledge not only of decades of coaching, but decades of athletic experience, and an understanding of how the body’s response to training stimuli changes in athletes from their 20s through their 70s.
