Nicholas Stanko

Nicholas Stanko - Over the years Nicholas has worked with all levels of endurance athletes to help them reach their goals. Nicholas has been an endurance athlete since the mid-90s when he competed in cross-country, track & field, and swimming at Wyandotte Roosevelt High School (Wyandotte, MI). After high school he ran at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, MI) and then competed semi-professional on the roads in distances from the mile to the marathon. As his running career started to wind down, he transitioned into long course triathlon for a few years but ultimately ended up focusing on ultra-endurance gravel cycling, cyclocross and mountain biking with running mixed in. As a coach helping runners and runners/cyclists he uses Pace Zone Index Training Zones on the run and Power Training Zones on the bike to prescribe athletes the right amount of quality and quantity training they need to stay healthy and see improvements.
