Race your
70.3 well.

A 1.9 km swim, 90 km bike and 21.1 km run is long enough that pacing and fuelling decide the day. We plan both, and the season that gets you there.

Endura athlete on the podium at Barrelman

Big firsts, big PRs.

From the Endura team at Barrelman in Niagara Falls.

011st in age group, 14th overallWith a 30-minute personal best

022nd in age group, 12th overallFinally racing with control after a tough year

What we learned.

Every race is reviewed against the plan. Here are two from Barrelman.

Mike's Barrelman fuelling plan and lesson learned — **Mike · 4:34:35**Came out of the swim hungry and drank his whole 180 g carb bottle in the first hour of the bike. The fix: a gel before the swim or in T1, so the bike bottle stays a plan, not an emergency snack.

Josh's Barrelman fuelling plan and lesson learned — **Josh · 4:30:15**Ran it controlled and right on plan, the first time a full year of work came together. A controlled race tells you exactly what to fix next.

Fitted to your life.

“Gavin saved me from burning out. He adjusted things to my life and helped me complete my goal of the Muskoka Ironman 70.3.”

Gavin is a registered exercise physiologist (CSEP-CEP) who runs VO2 max and lactate testing, and a 70.3 finisher himself. Endura Compete includes a performance test, so your zones start from real numbers.

70.3 coaching.

What is a 70.3?

A half Ironman: a 1.9 km swim, 90 km bike and 21.1 km run, 70.3 miles in total.

Can a 70.3 be my first triathlon?

It can, though most athletes enjoy it more after a sprint or Olympic race first. Tell us your race and history and we will plan the right path.

Do you help with pacing and fuelling?

Yes. Endura Compete includes personalized nutrition and zones, and we review your race-day data afterwards, like the Barrelman fuelling lessons above.

Which Ontario races do your athletes do?

In 2026 the team raced Gravenhurst, Barrelman in Niagara Falls and Ironman Canada in Ottawa, and our athletes have raced Ironman 70.3 Muskoka. We coach for any race you choose.

Can I be coached online?

Yes. Coaching runs online in TrainingPeaks anywhere in Canada, with optional in-person sessions in the GTA.

How much does 70.3 coaching cost?

Endura Perform is $250 a month and Endura Compete is $400 a month, plus HST, month-to-month with no contract.
