Making training and racing in the heat a skill
Real Fuel with SLS
Founder of Taylored Training, an online run and strength coaching service based in Phoenix, Arizona. Coach Becky Anthony swam competitively and coached swimming, taught HS biology for a decade, and did some coaching in XT and conditioning for Lax. During the pandemic, she and her hubby moved across the country and turned coaching friends on the side into a full-time gig. They live in Phoenix now with our 1.5-year-old child and dog. Taylored Training has since expanded to a two-coach operation.
