1:1 Triathlon & Running Coaching
Rebuild your training
the way you rebuild yourself.
Resurgence Racing & Coaching is individualized endurance coaching for triathletes and runners who want a plan built around their actual life — not a template that assumes everyone recovers, adapts, and pushes the same way.
Free consultation. No pressure, no sales pitch — just a conversation about where you are and where you want to go.
Training Philosophy
Consistency builds resilience.
You don't need a perfect training block. You need a plan you can actually sustain, one that bends when life does and still moves you toward your race. That's the whole idea behind how Resurgence Racing & Coaching works.
Individualized, not templated
Your plan is built around your race, your history, your schedule, and how your body actually responds to training — not a generic block that gets copy-pasted across athletes.
Volume and intensity, in balance
Neither one wins by default. The right mix depends on your race distance, your training age, and what your body can absorb right now.
Recovery is training
Adaptation happens after the workout, not during it. Recovery isn't something you earn — it's built into the plan from the start.
Adaptable by design
Work gets demanding. Kids get sick. Travel happens. A missed workout isn't a failure — it's information the plan should respond to.
Built for your race
Training should reflect the actual demands of your event — the terrain, the distance, the conditions — so race day doesn't ask something training never did.
Data informs. It doesn't decide.
Pace, power, and heart rate tell part of the story. What you felt during the workout tells the rest. Both matter.
"Data tells me what happened. The athlete tells me why."
Coaching
One approach, built around you.
Every athlete gets an individualized training calendar, weekly feedback, and a coach who's actually paying attention.

Training is delivered and tracked through TrainingPeaks. I also work comfortably with data from Garmin, Strava, and Intervals.icu, whatever you're already using.
Why Resurgence
Why not just download a training plan?
A generic plan can tell you what to do on a given day. It can't tell you what to do when your day falls apart.
Built for one athlete
Your calendar is written for you — your race, your history, your week. Not adjusted from a template. Built from it up.
A real relationship
Weekly check-ins, honest feedback, and a coach who knows your training history well enough to notice when something's off.
Accountability, both ways
I'll hold you to the plan. I'll also tell you when the plan needs to change. That goes both directions.
Lived experience
Nearly 15 years as a triathlete, 24 marathons, and current coaching roles with young athletes — I've trained through most of what you're about to.

Charlie has spent almost fifteen years as a triathlete, and running longer than that — back to middle school cross-country. Three full-distance IRONMAN races. Six half-distance. Twenty-four marathons. A start line at the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship. He currently coaches middle school cross-country at The Globe Academy and serves as head coach for the Atlanta Track Club's Kilometer Kids program.
Before any of that showed up on a training log, Charlie survived a motor vehicle accident and the traumatic brain injury that came with it. In the years that followed, he lived through severe depression, anxiety, and periods dark enough to include suicidal thoughts and self-harm. He doesn't say that for effect. He says it because it's true, and because it's the reason the word "Resurgence" means something to him beyond a brand.
Endurance sports didn't fix any of that. But they gave Charlie structure on days that had none, and a reason to keep showing up when showing up was the hardest part. Training became part of how he kept moving forward — not a cure, but a practice. That distinction matters to him, and it shapes how he coaches: Resurgence Racing & Coaching is not mental-health treatment, and it isn't positioned as one.
What it is: coaching from someone who has had to rebuild more than once, and who understands that resilience isn't about refusing to stop. It's about knowing when to push, when to adapt, when to recover, and how to keep moving toward what actually matters to you.
Professionally, Charlie's background is in software, sales, operations, and data — the kind of work that trains you to read information carefully and make decisions with it. That skill transfers directly to coaching. But data is a tool, not the coach. It tells him what happened in a workout. You tell him why.
Charlie doesn't coach resilience because it sounds good on a website. He coaches it because he's had to learn it himself, more than once.
How It Works
An ongoing relationship, not a one-time download.
Your plan doesn't stay static once it's written. It evolves with you, week by week.
