Tom Fokkens-Ancery, founder and head coach.

I entered the world of endurance sports with a Black Belt, multiple national titles in TaeKwon-Do, and a silver medal at the European Championships. I knew how to train at an elite level.

But when I transitioned to triathlon, I hit a wall. Not a physical one. An architectural one. I followed the “proven” plans. I hired the “expert” coaches. I chased the “perfect” data points. The result: I trained harder, got fitter, and raced worse. My injuries were treated as inevitable, my long-term growth was ignored, and my technique was sacrificed for empty volume.

Sense Endurance Coaching was built to kill that cycle.
