After Norseman, whats next? The Inferno!
In General Triathlon, Inferno Triathlon, Races, Simon Ward of TTC (February 23, 2010 5:05 pm)
That heading sounds a bit like “out of the frying pan and into the fire” or in this case the Inferno.
If you can remember back as far as August 2009 or if you read my blog, you might recall that my big event for last year was the Norseman Iron distance event in Norway. In [...]

Why a catch up stroke won’t work in open water
In General Triathlon, Simon Ward, Training of TTC (February 22, 2010 11:07 am)
Yesterday in Lanzarote there was a southerly wind and that meant swimming at our usual spot was a turbulent affair. The waves were about 1m high so getting out was hard and once beyond the breaks it was still pretty choppy. Several points that we regularly teach our athletes became all too apparent during the [...]

Returning from Ironworld
In General Triathlon, Ironman, Simon Ward of TTC (October 21, 2009 3:24 pm)
It’s been just over a week since I left Kona (or Ironworld as I referred to it in an earlier blog) and I’m just about over the jetlag. The colder weather in the UK might take a bit longer to adjust to. Mind you I am still persisting with wearing shorts to work, at least [...]
Do as I say…
In General Triathlon, Simon Ward, Training of TTC (October 16, 2009 7:57 am)
…and as i plan to do.
Returning to work after a trip (or a holiday) I generally feel invigorated and highly motivated. Do you feel like this?
The Hawaii ironman marks the end of the season for those lucky enough to compete and for me it’s the same. There’s no point in starting a new training [...]

When I talk with triathletes I frequently get asked “Why do I need a triathlon coach?” And, you know what? I think that is a reasonable question to ask. After all there is a wealth of information out there about how to prepare for all manner of events and most athletes are highly motivated.
But just [...]
Warning! Triathlon Training Camp Ahead -3 rules to avoid complete meltdown
In General Triathlon, Simon Ward, Training of TTC (May 7, 2009 9:06 pm)
In a few days time I’m heading over to Malaga to run a training camp for Ironman athletes. Now a good training camp should be an opportunity to complete a great block of training. It can also be a springboard to some strong early season results. However, more often than not a training camp can [...]
Anyone Can do an Ironman
In General Triathlon of TTC (March 18, 2009 9:28 pm)
Last night I made a presentation to a group of MBA students using the title above. It’s a rather outlandish statement to make to anyone outside of “triathlonworld” where most of us live. Of the 30 people present 16 of them initially thought that they could never manage an event of this magnitude.
Actually the main [...]
