80/20 Endurance Announces Free Coach Email Support From 80/20 Certified Coaches for All Training Plans and Subscriptions Beginning in 2026

January 21, 2026

In an era of rapid A.I. growth in coaching, 80/20 Endurance doubles down on human connection between athletes and certified coaches

MIDWAY, Utah (January 21, 2026) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ — 80/20 Endurance, a global leader in evidence-based endurance training, today announced that beginning in 2026 and continuing beyond, all 80/20 Endurance training plans and subscriptions will include free coach email support provided by 80/20 Certified Coaches, reinforcing the company’s commitment to human-led coaching in an increasingly automated training landscape.

Under this new initiative:

• All individual 80/20 Endurance training plans will include free email support from 80/20 Certified Coaches for the duration of the plan
• Team 80/20 Gold and Silver subscribers will receive free email support from 80/20 Certified Coaches for the full duration of their active subscription

This support ensures athletes receive real guidance from coaches trained specifically in the 80/20 Endurance system — not automated responses or generic algorithms.

“As A.I. tools become more common in endurance coaching, we believe human connection matters more than ever,” said Jim Vance, Head of Coach Education and VP of Business Development at 80/20 Endurance. “Technology can organize data and suggest workouts, but it can’t truly understand an athlete’s context, mindset, or lived experience. By pairing our proven training plans with direct access to 80/20 Certified Coaches, we’re intentionally investing in meaningful coach–athlete relationships.”

What Coach Email Support Includes
Athletes with eligible plans or subscriptions can email the 80/20 Endurance coaching team — comprised of 80/20 Certified Coaches trained in evidence-based endurance methodology — for guidance on:

• Advice adjusting workouts to accommodate life, travel, or time constraints
• Navigating injuries, setbacks, or return-to-training decisions
• General training and plan-related questions

Support is delivered via email and is designed to complement structured training plans on platforms such as TrainingPeaks and Final Surge, while maintaining thoughtful, personalized communication between athletes and coaches.

A Human-Centered Approach to Modern Coaching
80/20 Endurance has long focused on making elite-level coaching principles accessible to everyday athletes. By embedding certified coach support directly into every plan and subscription, the company is raising the standard for what athletes should expect from online training — clarity, accountability, and real human feedback.
