Winter is base season
Indoor trainer and treadmill sessions, pool swims, and strength work build your aerobic engine through the cold months without depending on the weather.
Northeast triathlon coaching
Triathlon coaching for the Northeast.
Foundry Athletics Co. coaches triathletes and endurance athletes across the USA from its home in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in the Lehigh Valley. If you train in the Northeast, you get a coach who knows the region's seasons and races, plus in-person group sessions if you're close to home base.
Built for the region
Coaching built around Northeast seasons.
Training here means short winter days, cold early-season water, and a race calendar packed into a few months. If that's your reality, your plan is built for it.
Spring brings open water
Cold early-season water is planned for, with wetsuit swims, sighting practice, and race-specific bricks completed before your first race.
A compressed race calendar
Most Northeast racing runs from late spring to early fall. Your season is planned so you peak for key races and recover well between them.
Local to the Lehigh Valley?
Train together in person.
Foundry athletes within about 90 minutes of the Lehigh Valley can join in-person group training sessions, held 2-3 weekends each month.
That covers Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton, along with much of eastern Pennsylvania and western New Jersey. Group sessions are a chance to train alongside your Foundry teammates with Coach Sean on site, on top of your individualized plan. Swim Form Analysis is also available as a 30-minute in-person session.
Your goal race
From local sprints to Ironman.
Whatever your goal race, your plan is built around its distance, course, and timing.
Northeast athletes often target races such as Ironman Lake Placid in New York, Ironman Maryland, and Ironman 70.3 Happy Valley in Pennsylvania, along with the many sprint and Olympic-distance triathlons held across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and New England each summer. Foundry also coaches athletes preparing for destination races and World Championship events.
Wherever you train
Not in the Northeast? Same coaching.
Most Foundry coaching happens online, so athletes anywhere in the USA get the same individualized TrainingPeaks plan, weekly adjustments, and direct communication with Coach Sean. See all coaching options.
Do I need to live in the Northeast to train with Foundry?
No. Foundry Athletics Co. coaches athletes across the USA. Coaching is delivered online through TrainingPeaks, text, and Google Meet, so where you live doesn't change the coaching you get. The Northeast is simply where Coach Sean is based, so he knows its seasons and races especially well.
How do you handle training through a Northeast winter?
Winter becomes a focused base-building block: indoor trainer and treadmill sessions, pool swimming, and strength work that build aerobic fitness without depending on the weather. Outdoor sessions are added back as conditions allow.
Do you offer any in-person training?
Yes. Foundry athletes within about 90 minutes of the Lehigh Valley can join in-person group training sessions held 2-3 weekends each month, and Swim Form Analysis is available as a 30-minute in-person session near Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
