One-on-one triathlon, cycling, and run coaching to help you balance your training within your daily schedule to help you reach your goals.
“I am made of all the days you don’t see, not just the one you do”
—Jan Frodeno
Athletes chase goals in running, cycling, or triathlon that are big, exciting, and it can be overwhelming at times. At DKE, we’ve spent over a decade chasing chasing goals like PR’s, competing at Ironman and Ironman 70.3 world championships, and winning age group national titles. We have learned over this time that there’s so much value to having someone in your corner keeping an objective eye on your day to day work – at times holding you accountable. We have also found it extremely valuable to have a knowledgeable coach build the weekly training schedule around daily commitments.
If you’re thinking about being coached, we encourage you to reach out to us for a chat. We are always happy to talk about an athlete’s goals and give our thoughts on how you will best succeed in your sport(s).

About Julie
Julie has also been a successful triathlete at all distances, most recently racing at the IM World Championships in Nice, France in 2024. Julie’s coaching philosophy centers on balance, understanding that life is already busy, and training should complement your day—not add stress to it. She believes that endurance sports are most rewarding when they’re fun and seamlessly integrated into your lifestyle. Whether it’s customizing workouts to fit around work and family commitments or finding creative ways to keep training fresh and enjoyable, Julie’s goal is to help athletes grow without feeling overwhelmed. Her approach focuses on building both physical fitness and mental resilience while making sure the process feels sustainable, rewarding, and—even on tough days—a little bit fun.
Coaching Services
David began coaching a few years ago and enjoyed the process and relationships so much that he wanted to continue his pursuit and coach more athletes. He loves coaching athletes of varying experience levels, from beginners to athletes trying to cut just a few minutes in a half ironman or marathon to reach a certain goal. David and Julie both enjoy coaching athletes at all distances from sprint triathlon to Ironman.
Coaching is most effective when it’s completely individualized and the athlete has the freedom to communicate at any time, whether that is providing me with workout feedback, notifying me of life conflicts, or sickness/minor injuries that are acting as momentary training roadblocks. We are working together to optimize the time that you have, and that often involves updating a training week “on the fly.”
Thank you for your response. ✨
