Life is bigger.

Bigger than setbacks. Bigger than race day conditions. Bigger than expectations.

✨ Medal Monday ✨

Patience. Trust. Acceptance. And the courage to begin again.

Brenda Lovie returned to racing this weekend at the Lake Whatcom Triathlon Aquabike after surgery slowed things down and shifted the path.

What came with that pause? Perspective. Gratitude. A deeper connection to the process.

She showed up and raced her way to 6th overall and 1st in her age group—a performance worth celebrating, no question. But even more powerful is the way she embraced the journey back. Finding joy in the effort. Appreciation for what the body and mind can do.

That’s the win.

Chris Bruce took on Ironman 70.3 Muncie and faced a day that asked more than expected. A non-wetsuit swim, shifting conditions, and torrential rain on the run.

And still—he stayed in it.

A strong bike under 3 hours. Forward motion when it counted. Presence through the challenge.

Because racing isn’t about perfect conditions… it’s about meeting the moment as it is. Taking it in, learning from it, and never wishing it away.

These are the days that shape us.

Endurance sport doesn’t always give us the clean story we expected. You can do the training, prepare well, make all the right choices and still find yourself in a situation that asks something entirely different of you.

This is where discernment comes in.

We are known for coaching athletes into possibility. When injury, illness or a setback enters the picture, we don’t immediately close the door and we don’t recklessly push through it either. We look at what is true today. We stay curious. We take it day by day and allow the experience to unfold.

Because sometimes the limits we’re working with are real, and sometimes they’re ideas we’ve accepted without ever questioning them.

A well-trained mind gives you the space to know the difference.

The comeback is one of our specialties because we understand that success isn’t always train, race, finish. Sometimes the greatest growth comes from widening the scope and seeing what else might be possible.

Let’s see how this unfolds.

Most athletes are looking for the next breakthrough. We’re more interested in the next small improvement. Because that’s where the long game is won.

Introducing The Long Game Lab — a new weekly live session inside Endurance Squad with Coach BJ.

Every Thursday, we’ll explore one element of performance that compounds over time. 

No hacks or shortcuts. Just practical coaching to help you train with greater awareness and build an athlete that lasts.
Because the biggest breakthroughs come from doing the right things consistently.

Welcome to The Long Game Lab. Join us Thursdays inside Endurance Squad.

This is Sky Mind Hall at Blue Spirit. 7am. Ocean view. Nobody’s inbox is open.

Get fit. Full reset. That’s the week.

What’s missing for most athletes is the work underneath the work.

The mindset. The nervous system. The patterns that keep producing the same results no matter how hard you train.

That’s what Endurance Squad is built for. Not as an add-on to your training — as the foundation of it.

Almost nobody in endurance sport is addressing this. We are.

Keep your coach. Get the missing link.

Endurance Squad is open. Link in bio.

Many athletes realize they can’t produce new results with more miles, intervals, or discipline.

They’re already committed.
They’re already doing the work.

And yet they keep finding themselves with the same results year after year.

That’s where Endurance Squad comes in—when an athlete is ready for the deeper work.

Recently, one of our Endurance Squad members shared this:

“As this relates to pursuing athletic goals, I’ve found myself producing similar results year after year. I’m generally very dedicated to the plan and prioritize the work, but I’m constantly bumping up against my ceiling. Having been in a committed coaching relationship for some time, I decided to add Endurance Squad to my existing coaching commitment. This content is what I’ve been missing.”

That phrase stopped us.

This is what I’ve been missing.

And that’s exactly why Endurance Squad exists.

Not to replace your training or give you another workout, but to help you uncover the patterns, beliefs, habits, and blind spots that may be keeping you stuck.

Endurance Squad provides the practices and conversations that help you become the athlete your training is trying to create.

For many athletes, we become the missing link between where they are and what they’re capable of.
