Coach directory
80/20 certified coaches
Some athletes want the plan. Some want a coach. If you want someone who already works the way 80/20 works — most training easy, hard training made to count — you want a certified 80/20 Endurance coach.
The directory is being built
Coach pages are publishing in waves
We're building a full directory — a page for every certified coach, with their background, the athletes they work with, and how to reach them. Those pages go live in reviewed waves, and we're not publishing a coach until their page is genuinely worth reading.
Until then, the fastest route to a coach is to ask us. Tell us your sport, your next race, and roughly how much you can train — we'll point you at the right certified coach.
What certified means
Not a directory listing fee
Trained in the method
Certified coaches complete the 80/20 Endurance certification: the intensity-balance research, how the plans are built, and how to apply the method to a real athlete's week.
The same system as the plans
Most training easy, hard training made to count. A certified coach works from the method you already came here for, adapted to your schedule, your races, and your history.
Coaching, not a plan
A plan is written once. A coach adjusts week to week — around illness, travel, a bad block, or a race that moved. That is the difference you are paying for.

Certified coaches write here
Several certified 80/20 coaches write for the 80/20 Endurance blog. Their bylines:
- Jim Vance
- Anne Sharkey
- JW McKenna
- Alicia Phillips

Bylines from the blog archive — each coach's own page lands with their wave of the directory.
