Endurance is an integral art
“If you want to be a top athlete you have to be a little bit wild, not be an accountant."
- Renato Canova

An integral approach is one that is natural, in the all-encompassing sense of human nature.
That is to say, it is an approach that is not only uniquely rational and logical with powers of self-awareness, but one that also retains all the wisdom of the wild side.
Integral = Holistic 2.0
“We are the product of an evolutionary heritage that has predisposed us to endurance.” - Scott Johnston
INTEGRAL ENDURANCE™ is athletic performance consulting that is as instinctive and intuitive as it is analytical and tech-savvy. It aligns mind, body and spirit, eschewing any and all dogma. It is the path of freedom infused with taking full responsibility for realizing our innate human potential.
Through intelligent training and performance, endurance athletics tap into our most fundamental human qualities, activating vitality and resilience in every aspect of our existence.
This is data-informed, NOT data-driven, applied analytics.
“Running is an art. And to create a work of art you have to be clear about four basic concepts: talent, effort, technique and inspiration. And all this must be combined in dynamic equilibrium.” - Kilian Jornet
We cannot manage what we do not track. Understanding and working with heart rates, various thresholds and intensity zones and using tools like TrainingPeaks® to track, visualize and interpret data gives unparalleled insight into performance. Factoring in integral x-training modalities such as yoga, qigong, meditation, breathwork and nutritional strategies results in an even richer perspective.
Empowered performance equals enhanced enjoyment of our given sport.
And that’s what it’s all about.
