The Adirondack Project
This is what is included, and why it matters when the day gets hard.
A file cannot answer questions the night before a long ride. Angela or Holly can, and the work is built for you, not for a group plan.
Each new block is built on how the last one actually went, so you get to the start line healthy and ready, not overtrained or guessing.
A 70.3, a full IRONMAN, and a season with both are different events. The training is matched to the race you are doing, and to you, not marched through one sequence because a date is on the calendar. IRONMAN 70.3 Lake George is June 13, 2027. IRONMAN Lake Placid is July 25, 2027.
Lake Placid rewards athletes who pace the bike, fuel well, and save something for the run. That work starts in the first block, not in race week.
You get a race plan dialed in for this course, so the fitness you built actually shows up on race day, with fueling you have practiced.
Once a month there is a Zoom for the questions that come up in a real training block, and for hearing from other athletes going through the same thing. Topics include pacing the bike and run, fueling and race day nutrition, mindset and handling the hard days, durability and strength, taper and race week, and gear, travel and race morning logistics.
That includes Lake Placid course webinars from Angela and Holly, who have raced it. Athletes racing 70.3 Lake George also get course webinars built for that day.
In race week for your event, Angela and Holly walk through the course, go over your race plan, and answer last minute questions, so you head to the start line calm and ready.
Reading about the Keene descent is one thing. Riding it with Angela and Holly, who have raced it, is another. Over three days there is a guided swim in Mirror Lake, a ride on the bike course, a run on the run course, a sit down together, and a team dinner. The weekend is optional. Details and signups are coming soon. It is an optional add on, with a fee that covers costs.
You are in a group of athletes racing Lake Placid, Lake George, or both, asking the same questions you are.
The Adirondack Project includes everything in Foundational coaching, delivered in four week blocks. The plan is not set in stone. Training is reviewed, feedback is given, and the plan is adjusted when you get sick, miss workouts, or life gets busy, so the work always fits where you are.
Your coach writes your training, comments on your workouts, and supports you all month. You can also move things around each week as you need to, and your coach supports the change.
Training starts January 1, 2027, or start in December if you're ready now. Join by December 15, 2026. You get set up in TrainingPeaks, added to the WhatsApp group, and your first four week block is built for you.
$299 per 4 weeks. The product page also offers Pay in full (save 10%) for $1,895.00. Monthly payments run through race day. You can upgrade to Comprehensive 1-1 coaching anytime by paying the monthly difference.
This is for athletes racing IRONMAN Lake Placid on July 25, 2027, IRONMAN 70.3 Lake George on June 13, 2027, or both.
If Lake George is the main goal, or part of a season that also includes Lake Placid, the coaching is still built four weeks at a time around your life and around that race. If both races are on the calendar, the coaching is built around your life, your physiology, and both race days.
This is also for a first 70.3 or a first IRONMAN. A first one is a big step, and it should not have to be figured out alone. The aim is to reach the start line healthy and confident, and to learn how to pace the day, how to fuel it, and what race week actually looks like. For a first Lake Placid, the goal is to run down Mirror Lake Drive knowing you were ready for every mile.
If you have already done a few, your coach finds what is actually holding you back and builds that, four weeks at a time, so your fitness shows up on this course. If the goal is a podium or a Kona slot, the details decide the day: the right training at the right time, pacing that holds up through the Keene descent and the climb back to town, and fueling practiced for months. The season is built around that goal.

Join the Adirondack ProjectEveryone in the Adirondack Project trains together, but nobody follows the same plan. Your coach, Angela or Holly, builds your training in TrainingPeaks four weeks at a time, around your life and your physiology. It is never a static plan.
The way the coaching works does not change with the distance. What changes is the work itself. A 70.3, a full IRONMAN, and a season with both are different events, and the training is matched to the event you are actually doing, and to you.
Here's an example. Picture two athletes, both six weeks from their race.
Her threshold work isn't landing yet because her aerobic base can't support it. This block builds her aerobic capacity and training load first, so harder work has something to stand on.
His engine is there, but he can't repeat the work. Long days cost him too much, and he's slow to bounce back. This block builds structural durability and makes the work cheaper to repeat, so he can hold up deep into a long day.
Same project, completely different work.
If you train with power or pace, your zones are anchored to your own Critical Power on the bike and Critical Speed on the run, measured from efforts you actually complete. If you don't, the coaching uses heart rate, RPE, or both. Each week, your coach looks at how you handled the training stress, using your workout data, heart rate, HRV and how you felt. Then the call is whether your load goes up, holds, or backs off. Physiology sets the direction. Your life sets the dose. Nothing lands in your week by default.
The coaching does not chase the date. It keeps pace with you. Every session has a reason your coach can show you.
ANC Coaches Angela Naeth and Holly Koksel have both raced IRONMAN Lake Placid. They know where the day gets hard, and they coach you for it.
The official course is a serene two loop swim in crystal clear Mirror Lake, in the heart of Lake Placid, with a clear line of sight and only a few turn buoys. The bike is a two loop ride through the Adirondack Mountains, a course of epic climbs and swooping descents, including the Keene descent and the climb back to town. The run is a challenging two loop course through the hilly town, including Mill Hill, then back to Mirror Lake Drive and a finish at the historic Olympic Oval.
Lake Placid rewards athletes who pace the bike, fuel well, and save something for the run. That is built into the training from day one. You also get Lake Placid course webinars from Angela and Holly, who have raced it, a race plan built for that day, and a race week Zoom before the start.
IRONMAN 70.3 Lake George is new in 2027, in the same Adirondack region. The official course starts with a single loop swim in the crystal clear water of Lake George, one of the cleanest and most iconic lakes in the United States, with a beach start and a beach finish. The one loop bike is a scenic tour of the Adirondack region, with rewarding terrain, then a return to town along Canada Street and Beach Road. The race finishes in the heart of the village.
You still get one to one coaching built for that day, a race plan, course webinars, and a race week Zoom before you start.

Your coach builds your training around your life, so you get to the start line healthy and confident, not overtrained or guessing.

A training plan is a file. This is 1-1 coaching in four week blocks: your coach writes your training, comments on your workouts, and supports you all month. On top of that, you get the group, the monthly Zooms, the course webinars and the education. A plan can't answer your questions the night before a long ride. Your coach can.
