I'm Chris, the Head Coach at Efficient Endurance.
I started Efficient Endurance with the vision that everyone has the opportunity to make the most of their training time.
While many elite athletes, and coaches, are looking for marginal gains through technology, testing and more training, most of us don’t have these luxuries.
Efficient Endurance focuses on getting the best out of everyone with the precious time we have so we can perform our best whilst maintaining families, friends and hectic schedules.
Let's get started & choose your training plan!

What makes efficient endurance Different?
We realised quickly that athletes like to have structure but are also smart and like to know the ‘why’ behind their training.
Often after 10 weeks of following a plan motivation begins to suffer. This is normally during the main build phase of a training plan. We found that giving athletes the knowledge as to why they are doing EVERY session keeps them far more motivated to the end of their plan, giving far better results.
This is why we provide a full description with every session as to WHY the session is where it is and how it is benefiting you.

Gordon - 1:1 Coached Athlete
Chris provided a great route map for me through the usual challenges which occur prior to any event: work, illness, family etc, and adapted my sets and sessions without any drama.
He supported these changes with reassuring words that I was still making the progress required, not to panic and trust the process.
Training for an Ironman can be a lonely activity and an experienced knowledgeable supporting voice through that journey was invaluable tome ultimately achieving my objective.

Dan - 1:1 Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan
“I used an Efficent Endurance 3 month training plan. I found this super useful and without it I don’t feel I would have made the improvements I have.
It provides you with a super detailed plan of each workout session and why you are doing it.
I will be training with Efficient Endurance again this month and definitely will be again in the future.”
