One Coach Who Understands All Three Disciplines

Swim, bike, and run each load your body differently — and each affects your recovery in the other two. Your Doctor-Coach manages training across all three as one connected system, not three separate plans.

Built on Real Race Experience

Your Doctor-Coach isn’t just certified — they’ve raced at the distance you’re training for, and understand the demands of balancing three sports around a job and a life.

Structure You Can Count On

Triathlon training has a lot of moving parts. Your Doctor-Coach brings the structure and accountability that keeps you on track across all three disciplines.

Strength Built for Three Sports

Most triathlon plans treat strength work as an afterthought, if it’s included at all. Your Doctor-Coach builds structured strength training directly into your plan — targeting the imbalances and overuse patterns specific to triathlon, like shoulder stability for swimming and hip and glute strength for the bike-to-run transition, not a generic gym routine layered on top of three sports of volume.

Get Coached By a Doctor of Physical Therapy Who Races Triathlon Too

As a 42-year-old athlete, it has been incredibly rewarding to see breakthroughs that I honestly did not expect at this stage of my athletic journey. Over the past year, I've set a half marathon PR by nearly five minutes without.

I thought my running days were over after a severe hip injury. Was I ever wrong. With Megan's expertise as a DPT and certified running coach, I've managed to avoid a recurrence of that injury while setting multiple PRs and taking over.

I trained with Coach Megan for a full year after a stress fracture and working with her was incredible. Despite a recent injury, I was able to hit a PR in every single distance this year, including taking 46 minutes off my marathon time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Tri Peak and the Race Package?

Tri Peak is ongoing monthly coaching across all three disciplines — your Doctor-Coach manages your full training load and adjusts your plan as you progress. The Race Package is built around one specific race: a focused 16-week block with three coaching calls and no ongoing commitment.

Can I switch from the Race Package to Tri Peak after my race?

Yes. The Race Package is a great way to try working with a Cadence Doctor-Coach, and you can roll into Tri Peak once your race is done.

I'm stronger in one discipline than the others — can my coach account for that?

Yes. Your Doctor-Coach builds your plan around your actual strengths and limiters across swim, bike, and run, not an even split by default.

Do you coach beginners or just competitive triathletes?

We work with anyone serious about their health and performance, whether you’re training for your first sprint or racing at the 70.3 or full distance.
