Lance Parker, B.A.
Director of Coaching and Programs
I've coached athletes to their first half Ironman, Ironman and ultramarathon. Drawing on my own racing and my work as a life coach, I help athletes like yourself utilize proven life practices with tried and true training methodologies to pursue distant goals.
Sport, when approached correctly, is as direct of a path as any towards well-being, physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.
Working with me will help uncover your deeper goals; you will learn to move through the pain, doubt and fear that have held you back from accomplishing them. you will work towards removing the barriers and I will build out an individualized training plan and along the way you’ll receive kind, compassionate support through the process. We’re not just making training plans. This will be a different type of coach - athlete relationship.
Professional experience:
I have worked with adolescents and young adults across a broad spectrum of environments, from a canoe on the ocean in Alaska, to the classrooms of public education. I have a passion for working with misunderstood and under-appreciated individuals, helping them feel understood, and valued, and assisting them in identifying their largest, most aspirational goals, and then mentoring and supporting them along their path towards those goals. Whether they be professional goals, independent living goals, or running a marathon, I have the skills to help you move forward.
Beyond coaching, Lance's own accomplishments as an athlete include:
1st Place and Course Record: Starvation Xtreme triathlon
1st Place Infinitus 888km running race
FKT Vermont 4000 footers connecting them by bike
All World Athlete status in Ironman triathlon
Completion of over 60 Ultramarathons
Lance partners with Untapped Maple sport’s nutrition, Mauna Apparel, and Bicycle Express.
