Triathlon Coaching by Gary Jensen

Multisport training and racing have been important parts of my life since college. I spent two years earning an Associates Degree at Suffolk Community College in the Fitness Specialist program. After graduating, I transferred to SUNY Brockport for Physical Education/ Teacher Certification. While at Brockport, I also earned a Bachelors Degree in Exercise Physiology. Having the opportunity to work in a VO2 lab setting provided me with first-hand experience witnessing the effects of training on the human body and learning how to utilize this information to increase fitness levels. Understanding the benefits of aerobic and anaerobic training empowered me to effectively train my body for multisport events. An extensive knowledge base in sport skills, nutrition, and recovery enabled me to increase my fitness levels and endurance to that of a successful, competitive triathlete.
Since beginning my triathlon career in 1997, I have completed 8 Ironman races with a personal best of 9:52. I have also accumulated 19 short course triathlon/duathlon/Xterra victories. Coupled with the extensive experience I have working as a high school Physical Education teacher/coach, I will be able to provide an effective individualized training plan toward the accomplishment of your goals.
