Peak Endurance Wanaka has been involved with and preparing athletes of all levels for Challenge Wanaka since the very beginning in 2007.

We have helped athletes win and set records in the pro men (Dougal Allan); podium in the pro women (Merryn Johnston & Simone Maier); age group podiums (Simon Brebner, Misa Klaskova, Shonagh North to name a few) and many satisfying completions of both the full and half distances through personal coaching and Challenge Wanaka preparation clinics.  We even helped prepare the only person ever to complete the Challenge double ironman distance.  We know and support this race; have been here since the very first event; and access the course year-round in all conditions!

Our coaching focusses on doing what it takes to develop you as a well-rounded triathlete.  We write individual programmes, meet with you and assess your swim, bike and run skills if you live in or can visit Wanaka.  We combine that information with your individual needs and our Challenge Wanaka experiences to help you be the best prepared athlete on the day.

Free Periodizations

Peak Endurance have created a free beginner and intermediate Periodization for all of our athletes. These guides are intended to avoid the pitfalls of a generic training programmes but instead provide tips and suggestions to help someone with little knowledge get themselves to the start line safely and with many of the typical race day surprises mitigated. Ideally it should be teamed up with some mentoring, which we can provide!
