New Site, Lessons Learned in Triathlon Coaching & What’s New for 2026
2025 was a year of big steps for Sense Endurance on the race course and behind the scenes. This piece reflects on the key coaching lessons from the squad, shares athlete stories, and sets out what is new for 2026 – a sharper site, refined coaching offers, and training plans built around real lives.
What to Expect from Sense Endurance Coaching

Coaching the Committed vs the Curious Athlete
Two athletes can train the same hours and get very different results. This piece breaks down the committed and the curious mindset, what each does well, and what tends to trip them up.
What working with Brett Sutton taught me
With 15 years in triathlon, I founded Sense Endurance Coaching to simplify training, focusing on aerobic development and biomechanics. Using the Trisutto method, I emphasize manageable techniques under fatigue, low RPM cycling for strength, efficient running form, and mental resilience to build adaptable athletes. Results improve with a focus on fundamentals over metrics.
Effective Communication for Athletes and Coaches
The athlete-coach relationship is multifaceted, involving trust, emotional investment, and open communication. Athletes must share honest progress details, while coaches should adapt to their needs. Handling miscommunication promptly is vital, as is recognizing different communication styles. Strong interpersonal skills elevate coaching effectiveness, ensuring mutual understanding and peak performance.
