Goals: Forestall age related declines, continue representing team USA in both triathlon and duathlon
Age Group: 70-74
Challenges: Developing new habits
Training Plan: Len has independent cardio workouts for swimming, cycling, and running as well as personal training for strength and stability.
Len learned from writing workshops that you can’t get better if you aren’t told what you are doing wrong and how to fix it. He realized that in order to reach his goals, he needed a personal trainer.
Len likes the customized, technical approach to training that Monarch Fitness Coaching offers. Because of his goals, age, previous injuries, and training schedule, he needed a customized training plan. Books with training plans, online, training programs and generic group workouts didn’t work for Len.
