Brad Minus

Host / Endurance Coach

Brad isn’t just a coach—he’s a challenger, a motivator, and a force of endurance. As a USAT Level I Certified Triathlon Coach, a Healthy Running Certified Running Coach, a Lydiard Level II Certified Running Coach, an RRCA Certified Running Coach, and a Personal Sports Nutrition specialist, he has dedicated his life to pushing limits and helping others do the same.

With an impressive track record—5 Ironman Triathlons, 25 Half Ironman races, 40 Marathons, a grueling 50-mile Ultra Marathon, and countless triathlons and road races—Brad knows what it takes to conquer the toughest challenges. His passion lies in coaching new runners and triathletes over 40, guiding them toward crossing their first finish line, standing on the podium for the first time, or breaking personal barriers they once thought impossible.

But endurance isn’t just about sports—it’s about life. On his podcast, Life-Changing Challengers, Brad dives deep into the stories of extraordinary individuals who have faced adversity, obstacles, injuries, and hardship—and emerged stronger. From athletes defying the odds to everyday warriors overcoming life’s toughest trials, each episode is a testament to resilience, transformation, and the power of the human spirit.

If you’re ready to be inspired, challenged, and motivated, tune in. Because true endurance isn’t just about finishing the race—it’s about rising every time life knocks you down.
