Tucker became interested in endurance events in college, completing his first half marathon and sprint triathlon. For the past 10 years, Tucker has been a student of endurance sports, reading many books and learning from other coaches. He experimented with different training methods throughout that time and has developed a formula for long term success.

In 2019, Tucker launched his coaching business, Training with Tucker, focused on helping individuals train for endurance events.

Tucker prioritizes flexibility and puts an emphasis on keeping training engaging, challenging and fun!
