Meet Coach Randy
Coach Randy Zabukovec
I have been involved in multisport as a racer and coach since 1984.
I have had 40 years of experiences that have shaped my philosophy, passion, and life. My experiences have brought me so many gifts, from racing the Ironman World Championships in Kona twice as a pro, 11 consecutive Boston Marathons, hundreds of triathlon races, 4 OUAA Cross Country Championships, Masters racing in cycling and running including many provincial and national championships.
These gifts and experiences were complimented by the people who mentored me and trained with me throughout these years. This includes some great coaches who taught me how to train and eventually how to coach. I have been lucky to have coached some amazing athletes over the years in triathlon and running. The experiences I have shared with them have continued to reward me with lessons. I ‘stride’ to master the art and science of performance through my own athletic journey as well as bringing that knowledge to the athletes I continue to work with.
