TTC Athlete Testimonials

Mike Little

"Working with Simon has allowed me to make the most of the limited time available for training and to bring structure to my sessions.

This has helped me to significantly increase my level of performance and ultimately to qualify for the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii on 2 occasions."

Felicity Hart

"Simon has been a fantastic coach for me, since the very first time I spoke to him. He has always been realistic but immediately helped me to find a goal to what I aim to achieve.

He has not only provided me with a program to follow, but also loads of encouragement and guidance along the way. I am always amazed at how Simon manages to create a program which is challenging but still achievable, I find he is easy to talk to and very reassuring when things don't quite go to plan.

I would highly recommend Simons coaching services to anyone whatever their goal."

Neill Morgan

"There are a number of reasons why I use a coach.

1. Like many people I lead a busy life and work hard and having a coach allows me to organise my training without me having to think about what session I should be doing next.
2. Without the knowledge of my coach, I am sure that there would have been many occasions where I would have overtrained and injured myself in trying to get myself ready for events.
3. In the time that I have been with Simon, I have completed 3 Ironman competitions 6 Half-Ironman competitions, numerous Olympic and sprint triathlons, as well as Marathons Half-marathons. All of which I was not able to do before I had the facilities of coached and progressive programmes to follow.
4. There are so many opinions about how to train for different events, so the good thing about Simon, is that he takes time to get to know you and your goals, and also to discuss how to achieve them and how to adjust things if the progression turns out to be either slightly too quick or slightly too slow

I made my choice with the triathloncoach.com and I have done well from it. I will never set the world alight with my ability, but a coach has helped maintain my enthusiasm for a sport that is hard to do but gives a great sense of satisfaction from the personal challenges that I have achieved."

Simeon Lloyd

"I approached TheTriathlonCoach.com when I considered training for the 2007 Lanzarote Ironman. I'd already completed the event in 2001 Lanzarote but was disappointed with my performance.

With the aid of of TTC coach Dave Green, I finished the 2007 Lanzarote Ironman in 9:55, 26th overall, taking 1hr22 off my previous time and qualified for Hawaii. I also won my age group (35-40) at the national duathlon championships in April. Previously I'd over trained and not tapered correctly.

TTC have helped take the guess work out of my training with a structured plan. I now train less, race harder and have better quality of life."
