GEC Afterburner Training Team

Welcome to Grasky Endurance Coaching

It’s funny, really, how things change before your eyes without you seeing the change.  What started out as me having a love of helping people get faster has grown into Grasky Endurance Coaching.  GEC is now a network of four coaches and a registered dietitian, with a passion for doing all they can to help athletes reach their goals—and the track record that proves they have the ability to do so. All GEC coaches are based in Tucson, AZ, the number one community for triathletes, but we work with athletes all over the country (and at times in Afghanistan and Iraq).  Head Coach Brian Grasky translates his skills of target prioritization, organization, "mission" briefing and debriefing, setting a clear plan of attack, and effective execution learned as a 10-year F-16 fighter instructor pilot into effective triathlon coaching, and teaches his coaches the same.  Brian still actively flies F-16s in the Arizona Air National Guard.

We are more than athletes who coach from their own experiences.  Yes, we have “been there-done that,” but above that we are professional, proven, effective coaches.  We are Kona proven, but our athletes have made this list as well.  We have also had athletes make the Clearwater list…in fact, seven just in 2009.  We and our athletes have been contenders at Ironman, Best of the US, USAT age group nationals, HalfMax, and ITU worlds at all distances.  We have helped athletes get their pro cards, take overall wins, do their first triathlon or become an Ironman.  At GEC we are just as effective with the Kona qualifier as with the first timer. 

GEC coaches are knowledgeable.  Not only are we certified through USA Triathlon and USA Cycling, but each goes through GEC’s own certification process to become a GEC coach.  Our continued education and conference attendance means you are getting a coach who continually strives to give you the best support.  

Let us help you in your quest to get faster.  Join us at one of our full-service Tucson triathlon training camps.  Let us set up your heart rate and power zones correctly and accurately with a blood lactate test.  Work with us one-on-one in swimming, cycling, running, strength training, or nutrition.      

It’s your sport.  We’re here to help.
