  • "After having my third child in March and turning 30 in April, I decided this next year I wanted to focus on myself more. I spent my twenties getting married and growing our family. I felt like I lost my identity outside of motherhood. I used to love competing and being an athlete. I decided this year I wanted to focus more on tapping into that old side of myself that I used to enjoy so much. I've always loved running and decided I wanted to really push myself to try something extremely outside of my comfort zone. With that in mind, I set a goal to do a half iron man in December 2023. I have no biking or swimming training and have never done endurance racing, so a coach was a necessity for me."

    OLIVIA - MEMPHIS, TN

  • "I want to run faster and I am lazy without a coach helping me."

    BRADLEY - KNOXVILLE, TN

  • "When signing up to complete my first half iron-man, I knew I needed a coach to help me unlock my fitness potential while avoiding overtraining. Sam designed a plan that was specific for me and my lifestyle. It’s been so beneficial to have active feedback on my workouts, and also more time to spend non-training hours with my family."

    TRAVIS - LITTLE ROCK, AR

  • "Without the accountability and support of a coach and team, I'd likely fall back into my old inconsistent habits only to reflect back year after year with regret. Structured training helps me stay on track and a community of like-minded athletes keeps me inspired along the way."

    ZACH - CHATTANOOGA, TN

“Oh when you have your third kid you won’t have time to workout..” When we decided to grow our family many people warned me that I would probably lose my fitness. The best tool for any athlete is consistency and that could be a few pull ups or box jumps at the playground or a 15’ run pushing the stroller too and from the playground! Find ways to integrate fitness into your life instead of waiting for extra time. #workout #kids #parentlife #triathlon #noexcuses #speedforce #run #bike #swim #bodyweightworkout

Sometimes you just gotta send it! Our athletes out there reminding us that triathlon is fun and if you aren’t smiling, you’re doing it wrong. Congratulations Sumner @sumnerdarlington for a strong season opener! Extremely proud of the work Nate has put in since last year improving from 50th place to 9th place overall. #memphisinmay #triathlon #havefun #smilebig #sendit #run #bike #swim #training #team #speedforce #coach
The Nashville Rock and Roll marathon weekend was memorable and full of story lines. @collinsm1th ran his first half marathon after buying shoes on the way home from the race last year. @brolofs ran his first marathon and grinded through to the finish line after almost quitting due to leg (and elbow 🤔) cramps. @drjerrylo and @rjtwardzik both got their first sub 1:40 half marathons on a hot day! The day threw us some curveballs and we made the most of it. I’ll never forget this weekend with my team. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Coach’s wife here: shoutout these rockstar dads who ran out of their way to high five their kiddos during the race! Your families look up to you so much! I’m so proud of the effort given by all the athletes today. Also- thank you to @wellcoffeehouse for keeping us spectators caffeinated ☕️ and @belmontchurch for the good vibes 🎶🎤 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Tried but failed to photograph: @j.hupp , @rjtwardzik , @m.tabor.dearmin , Zach Dearmin #nashvillemarathon #nashvillehalfmarathon #speedforce #run #runrocknroll #finishline #training #endurance #endurancetraining #team #athletes #workhard #winningtogether #athletes #workhard #personalbest #goals #goodmorningnashville #challenge #marathonmonday #marathon #runninginspiration #runningcommunity #runningcoach #rockabdrollmarathon #stjude #marathonmotivation #family #nashvillefitness
