Coach James Tobias' Story
As an endurance athlete my whole life, I've always been fascinated by training methodologies and have had a deep curiosity about the physiology behind it all. After years of chasing and surpassing my own athletic goals, I've decided to use my passion to help others achieve their own. With 3 years of coaching experience under my belt, I have established a system that is tailored to the individual needs of each of my clients, and I thrive on seeing people push through their own limits and break through to the next level.
​
As an Ironman finisher and with 3 half Ironman finishes under my belt, I've personally experienced what it takes to prepare for and complete these races. Additionally, over the last 10 years, I've also accumulated over 80 races and 6 wins in the cycling world, including my USAC Category 2 upgrade. My experience has helped me develop techniques and training plans that deliver results, safely and effectively. Further, I have personally experienced both good and bad of coaches, and will use those experiences to best help you. If you're looking for an experienced coach to help you train for your next endurance race or just to improve your fitness, I would love to help. I'm not a professional athlete and I don't pretend to be one, however I do love endurance sports and have always strived to do my absolute best in every event I enter and I love helping others do the same!
