by Stephen Meyers | USA Triathlon

This January in Orlando at Endurance Exchange, USA Triathlon brings together leading coaches, researchers, and sports scientists to explore the latest findings in physiology, biomechanics, and recovery.  

Join your fellow coaches and triathletes for three days of immersive learning Jan. 9-11, 2026 in Orlando at the Caribe Royale Resort.  

Whether you’re a coach refining training plans, a medical professional supporting athletes, or simply someone fascinated by the “why” behind endurance, the Coaching Education Track at Endurance Exchange will help you translate lab insights into real-world results. 

Don’t miss these key educational sessions in Training & Performance Science and check out the full lineup of topics covered at Endurance Exchange here.  

Velocity-Based Training for Coaches 

Explore how velocity-based training (VBT) revolutionizes strength and power development for triathletes. Learn to optimize training loads, reduce overtraining risk, and enhance performance outcomes through objective velocity metrics rather than traditional percentage-based programming. 

Heat and Altitude Training – How to Execute Correctly 

Master the physiological adaptations and practical implementation of heat and altitude training for triathlon performance. Learn to design effective heat/altitude camps, understand individual response variations, and implement strategies that maximize adaptation while minimizing health risks. 

High Performance Aging 

Explore strategies for maintaining and enhancing performance as athletes age, addressing physiological changes, training adaptations, and lifestyle modifications. This session examines research on masters athletes, recovery considerations, and evidence-based approaches to longevity in sport.  

Advanced Periodization Strategies for Elite Athletes 

This session covers advanced planning strategies, peak performance timing, and individual response optimization. Learn to design complex training phases that maximize performance while managing fatigue and adaptation in elite-level athletes. 

Recovery Science: Optimizing Rest for Peak Performance 

Learn to integrate recovery science into training programs to enhance adaptation, prevent overtraining, and optimize performance outcomes.
