Ways to train with us:
1: COME TO CARRY CLUB - FREE
this is the simplest way to get involved if you’re local. first and third friday, 6 am at rabbit mountain in longmont. show up and carry sandbags up and down a mountain with me and a group.
2: JOIN A TEAM CHALLENGE - $300
this is the simplest way to join our team online. we run these a few times a year. you get plugged into our team chat, put on a small team, and are given responsibility to carry the torch for your squad.
3: STAY ON THE TRIBAL TRAINING TEAM
after your first challenge, we have this option to keep winning together. come to a team race (4x per year, see calendar below), access private team challenges, and more.
4: GET COACHED 1 ON 1
this is where to start if you want hands on help to a specific race goal. many Tribal athletes start here. personalized programming, 1 on 1 messaging and calls. this if for you if you have a goal in mind and want help getting there without blowing up your life.
5: BRING YOUR OWN TEAM
i take companies and peer groups outside and make them carry something heavy together, then do the work of turning that into how they operate back at the office. this started because guys in tribal who run businesses asked for it, and that's still mostly how it happens.

I tested this on myself first.
i train more than most of the guys i coach.
but it's the same idea at a bigger scale.
over the last 7+ years, i’ve averaged 9 hours a week.
i qualified for and raced the ironman world championships against guys putting in almost twice as much.
i’ve run100 mile ultras without ever hitting a 50 mile week.
i've stayed healthy the entire time. i've been home for my kids. i’ve built multiple businesses.
nothing else in my life had to fall apart to make any of it happen.
in fact, the opposite happened.
the training made me sharper everywhere else.
Full Ironman.
5 hours, 39 minutes per week.
Zero weeks over 10 hours of training.
most guys don’t need more time. they need a plan and a better process.
Chris could ride for an hour no problem. but he was mashing the pedals at 60 rpm. and his legs were toast by hour 3.
we got him over 85. same ride, still feeling fresh after 50+ miles.
he was also cutting his fueling in the last hour of every ride. which is exactly the hour that decides how you run off the bike.
neither of those is a fitness problem. you don’t fix those with more hours or miles.
they're skills to develop.
that's what the first few months look like.
we find the one or two things costing you the most, fix them, and build you a plan you can actually hold onto.
that’s how you accomplish a 15 hour per week goal training one third the time.
full ironman. 5 hours and 39 minutes a week.
and he didn’t limp across the finish line at midnight. he finished in under 14 hours.
The guys who get fast are the guys who stick around.
after coaching over 400+ dads, i’ve learned what it takes to get better at endurance.
you need to stick with it for a few years.
which is why i won’t give you a plan that blows your life up in 6 months. it has to be sustainable.
Blaine’s first 70.3 (in 2023) was 7 hours and 5 minutes.
his third (in 2026) was 5 hours and 28 minutes.
he let consistency compound, adopted the lifestyle, and got better at racing.
but i also have to be honest. i’ve had guys try to make 3 years of progress in 6 months.
the lifestyle never stuck. they burned out.
