LifeSport Coaching

Reminder: don’t race your long ride today 🚨

The majority of your long rides should be spent in Zone 2 — an effort that feels controlled, sustainable, and repeatable.

This is where you build aerobic fitness, improve endurance, develop fat oxidation, and practice the fueling habits that matter on race day.

🤨💭Not sure if you’re training in the right zones or getting the most out of your workouts? Working with a coach can help ensure every session has a purpose and fits into a bigger plan.

Proud is an understatement. Great racing, team!

From Spain to Florida to Vancouver Island, LifeSport athletes were out there putting in WORK this weekend 👊🏻🌍

🇪🇸 At Challenge Salou, Young Gun Maia Watson finished 9th in the Pro field AND set PRs in all THREE legs 🤯⚡️

🇺🇸 At 70.3 Gulf Coast, the day delivered wet roads, soggy conditions, and a shortened 1K swim — but our crew showed up ready to grind:
Caroline Kratz returned to 70.3 racing after more than a decade and threw down a 🌟5:34 despite cramping on the run and walking the back half.
🌟Matt Trussell took AN HOUR off his previous 70.3 time
🌟 Dan Higgins put together a strong, steady race and showed huge improvement. Smooth, composed, and resilient through a lot going on outside of racing

🇨🇦 Back on the East Coast, Marion Cornish absolutely crushed her first marathon in Fredericton

And closer to home, the LifeSport crew raced the Westwood Triathlon on Vancouver Island 🌲 Shoutout to Barbara Polehoykie, Patrick Silva, Patrick Graham, Bibi Benekou, Carla Anne Valentine, Glenn Van As, and Coach Lance Watson for a great day of racing 🔥

Proud of everyone who toed the line this weekend. The work always shows up eventually 💙
