Canada’s best male off-road triathlete, Karsten Madsen will be joining Middaugh Coaching as a premium coach.  Karsten is a part of a new generation of triathletes with a background in…triathlon.  Karsten participated in his first triathlon when he was four years old and did many Kids of Steel triathlon races during his childhood as well as a variety of other sports.  He became more serious about triathlon at age 15 and earned his elite triathlon license at the age of 18.  Karsten has professional experience in both road (ITU) and off-road triathlon.  Karsten has coached individual athletes of all abilities for the past 6 years.

One thing that sets Karsten apart is his experience as part of the Canadian National Triathlon Team for the past 5 years.   “I’ve received world class coaching and train day in, day out with some of the best athletes in sport of triathlon. I’ve learned a lot in the last 5 years about high performance training and what it takes to becoming the best you” says Karsten.

According to Josiah Middaugh, “I have spent a lot of time with Karsten in the past few years at XTERRA races all over the globe.  I have seen first hand the professional attitude he has with his own training and racing.  Our training philosophies align very well and are both grounded in the same scientific principles and intense personal experience.”
