Our monthly rolling triathlon coaching programmes are designed with one purpose in mind - to help you achieve your potential and reach your goals. Perhaps you've chosen your goal race for 2011 but finishing that first tri or crossing the line in Hawaii seems such a long way off - we'll help you get there.
We also offer 1-1 triathlon coaching sessions or days as spending quality time with your coach can prove invaluable in your quest for better performances. This could be in addition to your monthly coaching programme or it could be a stand alone session whatever your level.
Need a 20 week triathlon training program? We have long distance/Ironman, middle distance and olympic programs available for purchase online. Every program has a comprehensive 20 week schedule - we've done everything for you but the training!
In addition to your triathlon training schedule, each week we'll also send you an exclusive triathlon e-mail with reminders of activities that you need to complete (in addition to your training), cutting edge training tips or valuable check lists such as the pre race checklist to make sure you don't forget any kit on race morning.
Take your training to the next level... step up to a TheTriathlonCoach.com bootcamp! We run half day TriFaster Workshops - great for perfecting one aspect of your triathlon performance in just a morning, or perhaps you'd prefer to develop all three aspects of your performance on our Triathlon Training Weekends.
Finally, for the more adventurous join us on our Long Distance Training Camps for overseas triathlon training in the sun - these camps are designed to allow you to fully focus on preparation for your key race and leave no stone unturned in the search for success.
If you asked us the direct question about whether we could help you achieve your goals you'd probably expect a fairly biased response. So rather than taking our word for it why not read about what some of our happy athletes have to say by reading our case studies.

You might remember that a couple of weeks ago I posted a video demonstrating the riding technique for pushing big gears.
Last week I was in Lanzarote with 3 other athletes, for some warm weather training. If you’ve never been to this particular Canarian Island you’ll know that there are 3 things that you can pretty much guarantee at any time of the year: Warm weather, Wind, Hills
The last 2 gave me the perfect opportunity to practice my “quiet” hill climbing technique.
As I was cycling up my umpteenth hill of the day into a headwind and struggling in my lowest gear I started thinking of how much strength benefit there would be for my future fitness. (more…)
For several years I have coached a triathlete who I would say is a typical age grouper.
At 40 year of age he was running his own business, working 60-70 hours per week, a young family (wife and 3 small children) and averaged about 5-6 hours sleep per night. As a high achieving individual business success was important for him. He brought the same traits into triathlon and was willing to get up at 5am to get in 2-3 hours of training before he started work. He regularly completed 10-12 hours of training per week and by taking care of his diet managed in the main to stay healthy (although prolonged high levels of stress do have a negative impact on the immune system with the result that illness is not far away). He also rarely got injured. Sounds pretty good doesn’t it? There was only 1 drawback to all of this; he never really made the gains that his efforts deserved. In training he seemed to make some headway but when it came to racing his performances had plateaued. (more…)
