Rob Rusunen
Excelling as an endurance athlete is about a lot more than simply logging big miles. It requires a plan that focuses on quality, strategy, recovery and most importantly - a rock solid mental approach. I will help you develop the strength in all those areas that will ultimately make you a stronger, fitter, and faster athlete.
I have completed multiple North American Ironmans with a PR of 9:30 and an Ironman marathon PR of 3:17. As a certified USA Cycling coach, ultra marathoner, and 20 years of experience as a competitive runner, I want to share my experience, provide the objective analysis and feedback needed to design and help execute your training program.
Ongoing communication will be key as your coach. This is the cornerstone of any successful coaching program and is the primary reason Counterpart Coaching has been so successful.
I believe in:
Continuous communication with an athlete: Counterpart Coaches do not use cookie-cutter computer-generated training plan. Your program will be based on your current fitness level, results from a collection of workouts you will do and ongoing feedback from you.
Making every workout count: This is our coaching philosophy and I will stick to it by regularly reviewing your workout results to determine how to make quality workouts the key component of your training plan. I will make sure you maximize your training time and leave all those garbage miles where they belong -- in the trash.
Periodization training: Periodization training is the key to becoming a stronger, faster athlete. I use training principles based from 20 years of experience and utilized by many professional triathletes to build your fitness through key workouts taking you from base training early in your season to race-specific speed and tempo sessions as you near race day. Recovery is a crucial component, too, and I will help you determine how to make rest work in your favor to charge you up for your key workouts each week.
Working one-on-one with me as your coach will allow you to advance your skills and knowledge while optimizing your fitness to make you race-ready.
