Triathlon coaching
Training built around your life.
A plan that fits the week you actually have and starts from the fitness you have today — then gets adjusted every week, so you keep improving instead of just getting tired.
- Fits your schedule
- Starts from your current fitness
- Adjusted every week
- Reviewed every three weeks
The approach
Your life sets the schedule. Your fitness sets the starting point.
Most plans assume a week you don't have. Yours starts from the hours you can actually train, the job and family they fit around, and an honest read of where your fitness is.
The plan fits your week
Long sessions go on the days you have time. Short, focused sessions fill the busy ones. Travel, work weeks and family plans get built in — not treated as failures.
It starts where you are
Baseline tests in the first weeks set your zones. Volume and intensity build at a rate your body can absorb — especially running, where ramping too fast is how most people get hurt.
It changes as you do
Every week's plan is adjusted from your check-in and your training data. Every three weeks the whole block is reviewed, and the next one is built on what's working.
Where you'll improve
Faster isn't only fitness.
Aerobic engine
Consistent, well-placed training that builds the fitness everything else rests on, without burying you in fatigue.
Running that holds up
A gradual build in frequency and impact, so the run gets stronger instead of getting injured — and holds together late in a race.
Pacing
Race-day targets built from your own numbers, so the bike sets up the run instead of costing you it.
Fueling
Carbohydrate, fluid and sodium targets, and the gut training to actually hit them. For most athletes it's the cheapest time on the course: no extra hours needed.
Swim technique
Video analysis of your stroke. Technique returns more time in the water than extra yardage does.
Recovery
Easy days that are actually easy and rest weeks in the right place, so the hard sessions count.
What you get
Structure, with room for real life.
A plan built on your check-in
Written or adjusted from what you report each Saturday — how the week went, how you feel, and what's coming up. No check-in, and the plan holds as written.
Block review
A recorded video walkthrough of your training — what improved, what's limiting you, and what changes in the next block — plus a written summary.
A 45-minute call
For goals, race plans and anything that doesn't fit in writing.
Swim video analysis
A filmed and annotated breakdown of your stroke, with drills to fix what it shows.
Messaging
Questions and updates whenever they come up, answered within 48 hours. Urgent things — an injury, a race-week decision — go to the front.
Key sessions marked
Every week shows which sessions matter most, so when a day falls apart you know exactly what to protect and what to let go.
What's needed from you
Three things.
A watch that records heart rate
That's all the equipment you need. It's how your zones are set and how each week's training is read.
A check-in every Saturday
Five questions, a few minutes. It's what shapes next week around your life.
Honesty in it
What you skipped and why is more useful than a clean-looking week. The plan can only fit your life if it knows what your life looks like.
Fit
Who this works for.
A good fit if
- You want to improve — a first finish, a faster time, a new distance
- You have a full life outside training and want a plan that respects it
- You'll follow the plan and tell me when something isn't working
- You're new to triathlon, or experienced and stuck at the same level
Probably not a fit if
- You need same-day responses or daily accountability
- You want a generic template rather than a plan built for you
Neither is a flaw — it's a different service. Better to know now than three weeks in, and I'd rather point you somewhere better suited.
How it works
Four steps to a first block.
Apply
An intake questionnaire — your background, goals, schedule and equipment.
Intro call
We talk through your goals and your week, and confirm it's a good fit.
First block
Built around your schedule and current fitness, with baseline tests to set your zones, and delivered before your next training week starts.
Saturday check-in
The weekly cycle starts, and the three-week review runs on top of it.
About your coach
I learned this the slow way.
I came to triathlon as a D1 swimmer who had never trained a bike or a run. In 2024 I was running about once a week, and it hurt. Building it took patience: a gradual ramp, a nine-week injury layoff and a careful comeback, and learning that pacing and fueling matter as much as fitness.
Two years later I finished my first full IRONMAN 5th — podium in my age group. What I bring to your training is the process behind that, fitted to your life rather than mine.
Questions
Before you apply.
I'm new to triathlon. Is that okay?
Yes. The plan starts from your current fitness, whatever it is, and builds at a rate your body can handle.
What if my week changes at the last minute?
Every week marks its key sessions, so you know what to protect. Tell me in your check-in — or message me if it's a big change — and the next week is built around it.
How many hours a week do I need?
There's no minimum. The plan is built around the hours you have; we'll talk on the intro call about what's realistic for your goal.
Why 48 hours and not sooner?
Because a considered answer is worth more than a fast one. If something is urgent — an injury, a race-week decision — say so and it moves to the front.
What if I miss a check-in?
The plan holds as written for that week. That's policy, not a penalty — it's what protects the depth of everything else.
Where does my plan live?
In your own private athlete portal — your plan and your messages with me in one place.
What distances do you coach?
Full- and half-distance triathlon.
Can I start mid-season?
Yes. The first block is built around wherever you are, not around a calendar that assumes you started in January.
Is there a minimum commitment?
No. Coaching runs month to month, and you can cancel any time before your next charge date. Coaching continues to the end of the month you've paid for.
Next step
Apply for coaching.
The questionnaire takes about fifteen minutes. Tell me about your goals and your week, and we'll build from there.
