A parallel journey of self-discovery and performance.
The MEP—RACETEAM is a unique triathlon program that ventures into physical and mental performance, spiritual development and self-realization. This journey runs over 4-months, leading up to racing Ironman 70.3 Oregon this July. MEP founder, Ryan Willms, will share breathwork techniques, mindfulness exploration, and guide the group through their inner exploration using the medium of movement and running in a group dynamic.
This program will be intimate and invite each team member to dive deep into their fears, their unconscious, and their physical limits, aiming to unlock personal genius, real connection and strength through vulnerability and honesty. It requires a significant commitment and yields a truly unique opportunity for growth on all levels. Each step invites each one of us deeper into our true Self, being witnessed in a shared experience of suffering, challenge, love, and compassion. A way to the Way.
For 2026 we have confirmed partnerships with On, Orca, Ryzon, and Maurten—and will be announcing more as we get closer to starting the program start.

The program will begin by April 1, 2026 and over 4-months we’ll build to Ironman 70.3 Oregon. We’ll race sprint and olympic distance, have an epic training camp and plenty of unique endurance mindfulness experiments along the way.
If you’re interested, please email us to find out more info about joining the MEP RACETEAM for 2026.
This journey will begin this April and build over 4-months as we prepare and race together in La Quinta, December 7th. The program will be open to a maximum of 5 athletes, so it is limited and intimate. It is a unique experience, the combination of triathlon, and spiritual development, and it invites each member to stretch and grow in different ways. Some athletes will be fast, some will focus on finishing but for everyone it is really about the process, the journey and finding your Why. We will aim for peak performance together but it is much more important to devote ourselves of doing our personal best in each session, than getting a PB at the end of the program. This is your invitation to challenge, to change, to grow and to push.

Ryan Willms
Mindful Endurance Program was started by Ryan Willms, as a way to bring spirituality and sport together. While diving deep into emotional work of his own, the parallel development of physical endurance not only supported this growth but the two complemented and helped each other, and so Ryan has begun developing a series of workshops and experiences where we can use the medium of movement practice to connect more deeply to our-Self and others.
