A COMMUNITY DEDICATED TO LIFELONG HEALTH AND FITNESS

 

BC Endurance has been providing endurance training and education for recreational athletes in Hawai‘i since 1979. Our training promotes health and longevity, injury prevention, belonging and community, and lifestyle freedom for people of all ages. We use our proprietary Hard-Easy System to build endurance, stamina and resilience safely and enjoyably.

ENROLLABOUT US

Home of the Hard-Easy System

The Hard-Easy System is a foolproof training protocol developed for endurance athletes of all ages and abilities, designed to increase performance safely and consistently while avoiding the common pitfalls of injury and illness.

Inspired by his experiences with Oregon Track Coach and Nike Co-Founder Bill Bowerman, and Olympic Track Team Coach Arthur Lydiard, Brian Clarke developed the HES over decades of professional coaching and research, including the publication of three books on the subject.

Training Program (Phase I) Base Building

May through July

Our year-long training program begins in May with 3 months of Base Building workouts that develop power and stamina on roads, trails, grass, sand and hills.

Membership in a Nutshell

Our newcomer enrollment period allows you to experience the training with 2 weeks of no-obligation workouts. During that period, you’ll also have full access to the members-only section of our website, with its valuable support materials. If you opt for membership, you’ll have full flexibility in terms of scheduling 1, 2, or 3 weekly workouts. 

TRAINING

Our three weekly workouts are structured to build five long-distance race abilities. The annual training program begins with base-building in May, and culminates with fitness peaks in December and April. Our race events serve as yearly benchmarks on the road to long-term health and fitness.

EDUCATION

The annual BC Endurance education program includes small-group classes, audio-visual programs, and debriefing after workouts and races. We use the Hard-Easy System to ensure continued learning throughout the year.

 

COMMUNITY

The BC Endurance community is committed to improving personal health and fitness in a sustainable and enjoyable way. We know each other’s stories; we acknowledge one another for our contributions; and we respect each other for pursuing a shared health and fitness mission.
