ROB SUTTON’S path to endurance coaching is rooted in a lifetime of competition, leadership, and a deep appreciation for consistency over the long haul. A former state champion and Division I swimmer, Rob has carried his passion for endurance sport from the pool into triathlon, marathon, and ultra-distance racing—building a career defined by durability, discipline, and perspective.

As an athlete, Rob has completed eight full-distance Ironman races, 15 Ironman 70.3 events, and more than 30 marathon and ultramarathon races. His background in ultra-running and long-course triathlon gives him firsthand insight into the physical and mental demands of endurance performance. Those experiences shape a coaching approach focused on strong fundamentals, mental resilience, and sustainable progress.

Rob brings extensive coaching experience across swim and endurance disciplines. He has worked with age-group and high school swim teams and most recently coached at The Fitness Lab and TS2 in Indianapolis. He is particularly passionate about helping athletes build confidence through technical development, smart training structure, and long-term consistency—whether they are new to the sport or stepping up to 70.3 and full Ironman distances.

Outside of sport, Rob is an Audio-Visual Operations Manager with Howard Technologies and a business leader with a background in operations, project management, and organizational leadership. This professional experience allows him to relate directly to athletes, balancing demanding careers, family responsibilities, and ambitious training goals. He specializes in working with professionals who need structured, efficient, and sustainable training plans that fit real life.

Rob is married to his wife, Margo, and together they are proud parents to their two sons, John and Davinson, whom they adopted from Haiti. Triathlon has given Rob purpose, community, and perspective—and he is deeply committed to helping athletes discover their potential and pursue meaningful goals with confidence.
