Our Long Course Philosophy
The 70.3 and 140.6 distances are events you must respect - you can't fake it on race day. Whether your goal is to simply get to the finish line, set a personal best or qualify for World Championships, you have to dedicate yourself to your training and to the event.  You must be prepared physically and mentally and you certainly don't want to leave anything to chance.

The Ironman is a unique event in that it challenges an athlete not only on race day but throughout the entire training process.  Total Intensity Sports prepares each of it's long course athletes with a uniquely designed program that takes a number of factors into consideration - their fitness history, potential injury risks, amount of training time, work and family commitments and personal motivations for doing the Ironman.  It's all important on the journey towards becoming an Ironman.

There are so many things that can happen on the race day of a long course event, not to mention all the things that can happen while you are training for one. Your training plan needs to be able to adapt to you and all of the things that happen along the way - the expected and unexpected. We do this for you through continual contact with your coach which increases as race day approaches.

We have helped dozens of athletes train and complete numerous Ironman distance events over last decade

Our approach to training and competing in Ironman distance events stays in line with our overall philosophy.  We don't have cookie-cutter training plans.  We only create personalized and individualized training plans which are custom designed to you, your fitness level, your goals and your life outside of training.

Long Course Group Training
We typically have at least fifteen or more athletes training locally in Sacramento year-round for Ironman distance events and/or the 70.3 distance. This means we have a solid group of athletes you can train with and use as support along the way.

Additionally, each year we have a destination event - we've traveled to Seattle for the Lake Stevens 70.3; to Colorado for the Boulder 70.3; Bend, Oregon for the Pacific Crest Multisport Weekend; and this year we are heading to Portland for the Rev3Tri!  Check out our destination events here!

Online Long Course Coaching
Not in Sacramento and looking for expert coaching online??  We do that too!  The philosophy and training is still the same... we just communicate on the phone and email... see our rates below.
