Triathlon and Ironman Coaching
If you have a genuine desire to make all your Swim, Bike and Run training count most effectively, ensuring that your training hours equate to achieving your performance goals, our expert coaches can help.
With years of experience in Triathlon and Ironman racing and coaching, our coaches provide you with the bespoke guidance and tools to be the best you can be.
We can help athletes to reach their maximum potential and sporting goals. We know what levels of commitment and application are required. The approach is one of simplicity. EVERY weekly program we set is tailored to the athlete and as coaches with families and work demands we understand working athletes’ commitments outside training and racing. The principles of consistency and specificity form the backbone of every program.
How Our Coaching Works:
Initial Consultation:
Via telephone or Skype conversations and e-mail, we need to identify how best we can help you. We will send you a document and questionnaire so as to better understand your training history, work and family commitments, injuries, equipment, access to facilities and so on.
During this process we may require you to do a series of tests/time trials to help us set your training zones and heart rate thresholds.
Follow Up Consultation:
Following the initial consultation and completion of the forms, we have a discussion about the information gathered and to plan the months ahead.
The best way for you to get the most out of your program is to be completely honest with your coach. Likewise we need to get to know you as an athlete. You will receive a bespoke periodised program for training and races incorporating season objectives, long and short term goals.
Goal Specific, Individually Developed Training Program:
You will receive your training schedule in 2-4 week blocks via email.
Generally we find 2-3 weeks to provide the dynamic adjustment needed for each athlete. This will include a detailed daily program including target intensity and duration.
Ongoing Training Program Adjustments:
You and your coach will communicate as much or as little as appropriate making adjustments to your program as needed.
Communication:
You have unlimited e-mail contact to monitor progress and answer questions. If you need to talk daily then that’s what we do. Once you are up and running then we probably need to talk for 15 to 20 minutes every other week about your training. This can be by phone or Skype. As we progress we can extend the periodicity to suit the athlete. To start with though this needs to be the absolute minimum.
Fees:
Coaching fees are payable in advance of receiving your program, with the agreed minimum coaching period being 3 months.
The price is £100 per month – a little over the equivalent of buying one broadsheet newspaper a day.
No start-up fee. We believe new athletes should not pay a start up fee for initial assessment – so we waver this.
Your Commitment:
Your commitment is to be honest with us and yourself, to be committed to the programme and to try to enjoy the process or at the least the outcomes.
