COACHING

Who is Triathlon Coaching For?

The focus of our triathlon coaching is to help you meet your goals, whatever they may be. It is an athlete led, coach directed programme

We coach highly motivated and enthusiastic athletes including:

  • Professional and Elites in Standard, Middle (70.3),  Ironman and Xterra
  • Age group athletes aiming for World Championships, Kona qualification and podiums
  • Age group athletes aiming to improve their own performances in distances from Sprint to Ironman
  • Multi-sport athletes wanting a structured programme to generally improve fitness

The key for us is that you are enthusiastic, open-minded and committed. How fast you currently are is not relevant. It helps if you like an analytical approach as we use a science and data-driven approach, blended with experience and communication with you, the athlete. If the analytics don’t interest you, that's fine, all you need to do is follow the plan and feedback, we do all the number crunching and analysis.

Your goals are your goals, and we will do our best to support you on your journey.

Focussed, Informed And Objective Triathlon Coaching In Partnership With Athletes To Develop Performance.

Mission Statement

How Does it Work?

First of all, there is a no-obligation option, where you can book a chat with Mark or Sam to answer any questions and see if the match is a good fit.  It will also depend upon us having available spaces as we limit full coaching to specific numbers to ensure the quality of service.  

Next, if we agree to move forward we follow this process:

Step One - Consult

An initial consultation with you to discuss:

  • Goals and Objectives
  • Events (future and past)
  • Training History
  • Injury History
  • Work & home life commitments
  • If necessary we will ask for some performance trial data to help inform your triathlon profile. 

Step Two - Periodisation

From that, we create a performance Plan that outlines:

  • The goals discussed and any new ones that have been created
  • A race programme
  • A road map of where your programme will likely lead
  • Periodisation outline

This is a guide to the type, load and duration of training that will likely be performed in the plan 

Step Three - Training Plan

With the Performance Plan outlined, we start to build your day-to-day training.  Usually, 2 – 4 weeks at a time, depending upon circumstance etc.  To do this we provide you with:

  • Premium Training Peaks account to which your training is uploaded using sessions specifically for you, your requirements and the time available to train.  
  • To help understand the programme we record a screencast of the programme with a voice-over, explaining each session and where it fits, how to execute it etc.

Step Four - Review

During your programme, we allow free access as much as is needed, so if you need to talk you can schedule a meeting through our app, or if it's a quick question or something that needs immediate attention then there are a variety of means of getting in touch.   

Your data is processed and analysed in Training Peaks and the more advanced WKO5, which enables us to be more specific and track performance changes, monitor training load and feedback when necessary.

Features

Performance Plan

Developing performance is a journey, and we create a map to navigate this journey to set the direction and ensure you understand the route we have taken.

  • Personal long term roadmap based on the race calendar, training focus and goals

  • We adjust your plan when necessary factoring in things such as fatigue, travel, work/life schedule changes and injury/illness

  • Your feedback on sessions is reported in Training Peaks and provides a seamless 2-way reporting mechanism, as we can comment specifically on a session.

Feedback and Individual Guidance

Treating each athlete as an individual is a core principle for us, and as such, we aim to deliver:

  • Unlimited communication with your coach
  • Reviews and feedback in Training Peaks on appropriate training sessions
  • Regular reporting and analysis to ensure you are on track with your training and progression

Additional Features

As a coached athlete, we also use some other tools which you will have access to that helps with our coaching process and your racing such as: 

  • Best Bike Split – this is a tool that allows us to model a bike course and then use your data to
    • Create race plans – how much power and when to apply it to optimise your pace
    • Predict times for the course – factoring in weather and road surfaces etc.
    • Demonstrate how changes to equipment or you could influence your time
    • Analyse a race and understand more about your drag characteristics
  • A members area on our Training Tilt platform, which has:-
    • Exclusive content 
    • Hints and tips 
    • A coached community group 
    • Race calendar
  • Access to all of our coaches.  Although you may have a lead coach, the knowledge and experience of our coaches are shared across all athletes.
