ABout - Triendurance

The TriEndurance vision was founded by Jared Berg as a coaching entity eight years ago. Jared Berg began coaching triathletes even before he was an experienced triathlete himself. Golf, soccer, and weight lifting were Jared’s first sporting interests. If his mom asked him to go for a run, he would reply “why run if no one is chasing me?” As a slightly chubby kid, Jared swam from the diving board to the pool’s edge, ran after soccer balls, and biked to his caddie job. Jared never competed in any of these events formally until deep into his Kinesiology Studies at the University of Minnesota. Learning how to swim, bike and run as an adult has turned out to be an asset to Jared’s coaching because it allows him to coach from a beginner triathlete’s perspective as well as an elite triathlete’s point of view.

Using exercise physiology principles studied at the University of Minnesota, Jared guided both an Olympic distance triathlete and an Ironman athlete through a successful season while competing in his first year as a triathlete himself. During this same year Jared created and coached a 50-person marathon training club. Realizing his potential to coach and compete as a triathlete, Jared pursued a future revolving around his new found passion. During his second triathlon season he successfully coached over 20 triathletes, won some local races, qualified for and raced Ironman World Championship Hawaii. Jared continued on as a student, teacher and ambassador of triathlon through the last eight years. He has been slowly building a coaching client base, conducting triathlon camps and clinics, instructing triathlon training groups, training with experienced athletes and coaches, working in sports medicine facilities, coaching Nordic skiing and racing as a professional triathlete and elite Nordic skier.
