Malone Coaching

10/18/2026

Are you looking for a change in 2027?

Not just a change in your results, but a change in how you think, train, and approach your goals?

We all know that if we keep doing the same things over and over, we shouldn’t expect different results. But what if the change went deeper? What if you changed your mindset, surrounded yourself with people who challenged and supported you, and became part of a community that truly wants to see you succeed?

That’s what I’ve spent the last 25 years building at Malone Coaching. Not just a coaching program on paper, but a community.

Over the years, I’ve learned as much from my athletes as I hope they’ve learned from me. I’ve also built an incredible support system of people who share my commitment to helping athletes succeed, from doctors and physical therapists to our bike fitter and massage therapist. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Our team is here to help you navigate the challenges, celebrate the wins, and keep moving forward.

And in 2027, I’ll be adding a few exciting new elements to make the Malone Coaching experience even better. More on that soon!

Coaching may have started as something I did, but somewhere along the way, it became part of who I am. I used to race to be competitive. These days, I race for fun, and much of my energy goes toward the athletes and community I’m fortunate enough to coach.

I also run a summer youth program to help develop the next generation of athletes. But one of my greatest passions is helping beginners go from “I’m not sure I can do this” to crossing their very first Ironman finish line—and discovering what else they’re capable of along the way.

You don’t have to be an experienced athlete to belong here. You just have to be willing to start.

If you’re curious about what your next chapter could look like, let’s talk. I believe in human connection, real conversations, and getting to know the person behind the goals. I’d love to hear your story and explore what might be possible for you.

Let’s make 2027 the year you do something extraordinary.

Just like that the open water season is coming to an end. Monday, October 5th will be our last one. You will literally be swimming into the sunset of another season. As always I will bring out the the favorite drills for warm-up but also make sure you get your HR up on some serious work. For those of you still racing this year it is the perfect time to wear your wetsuits - it is finally cool enough! Temp measured right at 78 degrees yesterday.

Please plan to celebrate the end of the season with dinner and great conversation at El Sureno located at the entrance to the lake. We will be done swimming early this week (7:30 pm) due to the dark, so you will have time to come and eat!

Open Water Swim tomorrow night at 6:30 PM! We are rapidly losing daylight so our workouts have to be effective. Dinner at El Sureno afterwards.

We will do some drills and relays as a warm-up. Then we will do a mile for time! This is the perfect taper workout going into Augusta 70.3 or prep for NC 70.3, Edisto Half or Ironman Florida.

Open Water Swim tomorrow night (Monday) at 6:30 PM at Lake Lanier - keep in mind that these swims are more than just swimming, we work on skills, we have fun, and we swim hard! You don't get this in a pool and you don't develop your swim skills staying at home thinking about it. SHOW UP and have fun!

Tomorrow, this unassuming guy will start Ironman Wisconsin.
From the outside, it will look like 2.4 miles of swimming, 112 miles on the bike, and 26.2 miles of running.
But I know the story behind that starting line.
And I know that the miles tomorrow are only a small part of what he has already overcome.
There are things we all carry that nobody sees.
But his is a battle that never made it onto Strava.
There are hard days that never get posted.
There are reasons we keep showing up that belong only to us.

I won’t tell his story. It isn’t mine to tell.

But I will tell you this:
Tomorrow, you will be watching something extraordinary. An Ironman might actually be the easy part!.
Not because of a finish time.
Not because of a medal.
Because sometimes the most courageous thing a person can do is simply say, I’m still here. I’m still fighting. I’m still going and there are NO excuses!

And tomorrow, he gets to race.
I am honored to be his coach and so impressed with what he has done.

Mike Boynton...Go get your 140.6. I know just how much that starting line means. ❤️

Good luck to Aimee Jennifer and Paul Heitmann who are in Nice, France right now to race the Ironman 70.3 World Championships. They also happen to be living their best lives racing all over the world and pushing each other to PR's. It is really awesome to see a couple who can train hard, play hard and have fun but be able to race with the best in the world! Aimee races tomorrow and Paul races on Sunday!

Two Olympic distance races! This is a great distance, even if you are using it to train for a half IM or full Ironman.

I haven't done this race in years but it was always a good one. With so few Olympic distance races out there, I wanted to make sure to promote it!
