Race 101

You’ve done the training…but do you actually know how to race?

With over 25 Ironman races between them, hundreds of  Ironman finishers — including Kona qualifiers and age group winners — and thousands of Four Keys DVD disciples, Endurance Nation coaches Rich Strauss and Patrick McCrann are widely recognized as the gurus of Ironman race day execution.

Rich and Patrick have leveraged this experience to create Race 101 — an eight lesson course designed to bring you several years, wasted races and entry fees up the learning curve. No more last-minute pre-race calamities; no more “mysterious” cramping issues that only appear on race day; no more death march marathon performances that are 1-3 hours slower than your goal time.

Now anyone can race like a professional!

Are you a first time Ironman athlete? You – and your family – tired of blowing up the race and walking the run year after year? A potential Kona qualifier looking for that special edge on race day? Can you put a price on racing the Ironman with the strategies honed through the mistakes and proven through the successes of thousands before you? Are you willing to just “roll the dice” after spending countless hours and thousands of dollars on equipment, race entry fees and lodging?

In only eight lessons you’ll be racing like a veteran!

Each of the eight lessons will include:

  • An installment of the Four Keys DVD ($37 value)
  • A lesson podcast by the coaches (.mp3)
  • Written guidance and tips (printable takeaways)
  • Substantial discounts on Endurance Nation training plans and Ironman Course Talks.

That’s the full Four Keys DVD, more than two hours of podcast instruction, and eight hand-crafted articles – a combined $150 value – all coordinated and delivered to your inbox.

Placing this course on the web instead of a pricey seminar allows us to eliminate overhead and drive those savings to you. We’ve also cut the price on the DVD and are practically giving away years of valuable lessons learned for only: Two installments of $29.95 each!

Lesson #1 is FREE, yours to preview and decide if the full course is for you. Register in the sidebar here to receive Lesson #1 for FREE! ———->

Read what triathletes like you have to say about our Race 101 Framework:

“If you are early into IM or HIM training and racing, the race execution strategies and practical knowledge here is worth the price of admission many times over, and is probably more valuable to a triathlete with less than 5 years of experience than ANY training plan or piece of equipment you can buy.” — Al Truscott, IMAZ AG record holder

“Good to see you guys in Madison. Thanks for the encouraging words raceday and expanding my knowledge base up to that point. Great training and perfect execution has me headed to Kona in 2010. 2nd place AG 50-54 in 10:24:06, even cracked the top 100 overall for the first time! Thanks guys.” – Tim Dupree @ Ironman Wisconsin 2009

“I was the slightly out of it guy who grabbed you outside the finisher’s chute at Madison and was blathering on about how you guys saved my butt!! Some pretty incredible results your group posted – particularly the guy who won his AG!! Just the sliver’s of wisdom gleaned from your “Four Keys” video were absolute GOLD in my IM experience – my first!! I would most certainly have blown up at about mile 5 of the run if not for heeding your admonition to “jog” the first 3-5 miles. Pretty much every detail – from slamming two “Naked” smoothies at 2AM, to conserving heartbeats and spinning up the hills on the bike, to realizing I only have 8-10 miles on the run to be “stupid” – bore itself out as absolute fact!! I cannot express the level of gratitude I feel for your words, your wisdom, and that freaking awesome video…. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! – Darin Jones (#1473) Ironman Wisconsin 2009

“If you only read one section of my big race report, I highly recommend it be the Run part! If you read that, you’ll find that I only took over first place in my AG with less than 4 miles to run. Why did it take so long? Because while they ran faster first half-marathons than I did, they blew up enough on the second half that my 1:49/1:53 split meant I ran over 10 minutes faster than they did on the second half. If this is not a testimony to how badly most people pace themselves on the run, and how well the EN strategy works, I don’t know what is.” – Maryka S., W35-39 1st Place at Ironman USA

“Thank You!! I happened to be walking by the Gatorade bottle when you were coaching at CDA, and took to heart your advice about warming up miles 1-30 on the bike, and giving you 30 seconds on miles 1-6 on the run. Executed that bike perfectly, with reverse splits, not as well on the run, but your advice was invaluable. I signed up for the wait list and want to become part of the Team! In the interim, thanks again for the great coaching!! — Unknown
