VictoryEndurance

VictoryEndurance is a branded endurance-training program and coaching network offering structured plans, coaching services, and educational resources for endurance athletes, including runners, cyclists, and triathletes. The program emphasizes aerobic conditioning, strength work, nutrition guidance, and mental skills, delivered through online platforms and in-person clinics by a network of certified coaches.

Originating in the early 2010s from a coalition of coaches and researchers, VictoryEndurance launched as an online platform in 2014 and expanded to regional coaching networks and workshops in subsequent years. It now operates internationally, with hub programs and digital resources.

Core principles include periodization with base, build, and peak phases; a weekly mix of easy volume, tempo, intervals, and long endurance sessions. The program uses heart-rate or perceptual effort monitoring, emphasizes recovery, and provides nutrition and hydration strategies tailored to individual needs. Mental skills training topics include goal setting and resilience routines.

Offerings include personalized coaching packages, group programs, and online courses. The VictoryEndurance Challenge is a multi-event endurance series with staged routes in several countries. The organization also provides coach certification and periodic clinics for coaches and athletes.

Reaction is mixed. Proponents report improved performance and accessibility, while critics cite cost, variability in coach quality, and a limited independent evidence base for certain claims. VictoryEndurance states its practices are evidence-informed and emphasizes athlete feedback.
