Athletes decline with age. Artists improve. - Shane "Zenman" Eversfield

“Zenman” joined the “Church of Triathlon” in November 1998 while living in Kona, Hawaii (at age 41). Eleven months later he finished his third triathlon, Hawaii Ironman. Since then, he has completed double and triple irons, ultramans, and ultra run and mountain bike events up to 100 miles. In June of 2016, he completed “Moving Beyond A.L.S.” – a 500-mile solo triathlon in 99 hours, raising money and awareness for the ALS Association. Finesse is indeed stronger than force.

A degree in Modern Dance, 40+ years of T’ai Chi practice and a lifelong passion for mindful movement and “kinetic intelligence” fuel his innovative study of applied kinesiology. As an athlete, author, educator, artist and coach, he has earned the respect of many endurance athletes and coaches the world over.

Eversfield is the founder and C.E.W. (Chief Endurance Whisperer) of Kaizen-durance®. He is also a Total Immersion Swim Master Coach (one of 10 worldwide) and Founder of Zendurance Cycling - endorsed by ChiRunning Founder Danny Dreyer, and Total Immersion Swim Founder Terry Laughlin. He teaches over 200 classes and clinics every year in swimming, cycling, running and Kaizen Skills. He has trained and educated coaches and athletes in the US, Europe and Asia. He is also a certified Serotta Bike Fit Specialist.

Now in his 60's, he continues to quietly slip past his perceived limits. Zenman regards himself as a modern-day “traditional” martial artist – deeply committed to the craft of mindful movement – rather than an as athlete.
