Meet Dawn English
Train Smarter, Race Stronger, and Stay Healthy for Life
For more than 18 years, Dawn English has helped triathletes and endurance athletes across the country achieve goals they once thought were out of reach. As the founder of Equilibrium Multisport, Dawn specializes in personalized triathlon coaching for busy age-group athletes who want to improve performance, prevent burnout, and continue competing for years to come.
Dawn completed her first triathlon in 1999 in San Diego and was hooked. Over the next 23 years, she raced more than 100 multisport events while moving frequently, raising kids, and living the military spouse life. Her résumé includes over 20 70.3s and 8 Ironmans, including Kona, with PRs of 2:19 (Olympic), 4:54 (70.3), and 10:48 (Ironman). She was a regular winner at local events, and on the podium at both 70.3 and Ironman distances, including an age-group win at Ironman Texas in 2022. More recently, she's shifted focus to hiking, Hyrox, and swimming.
Dawn got into triathlon before it went mainstream, and as the sport grew, so did requests for training help — she started coaching in 2008. She's since coached athletes of all ages and levels, but now keeps a small roster focused on athletes 40+ who have full lives outside triathlon and still want to perform at their best. She has come alongside athletes to world championships, podiums and finishes. She specializes in customizing training to fit each athlete's goals and lifestyle. Every training plan is built around one person: you.
