“If you are looking for a partner coach, Borek is a great choice.”

When I decided to do triathlon, the goal was the highest: to finish a full Ironman. So I wasted no time and found my coach Borek. Besides training plans and technique for each discipline, he gave me insight into the world of triathlon and guided me through my first races, with individual attention to how I balanced work, training and caring for my one-year-old son. I've now completed my first half Ironman in a great time and the motivation is all the greater.

“I googled triathlon coach, and that was Borek. I was very lucky.”

I've always been a runner, a year ago I discovered road cycling and all I had left was swimming. Borek helped me get started (I had never swum 100 metres of freestyle before), recommended training groups and introduced me to a lot of amazing people. He coached me with sensitivity, and motivated and inspired me without ever putting me under pressure. This season I finished a sprint triathlon in Poděbrady and two half-Ironman races: Hamrman 113 and Ironman 70.3 Zell am See.

“He knows triathlon not only in theory but in practice.”

What helps most in your triathlon beginnings? Advice from an experienced coach. It shortens the long journey we all know as learning by doing. He is a multiple-Ironman finisher. Many times he answered my questions about technique, equipment, training structure, race strategy and race nutrition. All these small parts matter for the final result. Borek, thank you!

“Dalibor is keen on triathlon, and you can feel it!”

Whether you're choosing races, fine-tuning next year's plan, improving performance and technique, or even strength, mobility and injury-prevention exercises, Dalibor always adds interesting knowledge and broadens your horizons. He's an active triathlete himself, with personal experience from many running and triathlon races, which is very valuable.

“Two half Ironmans! I would never have believed it before.”

I trained athletics at a sports-focused primary school (the same as Borek) and competed in skiing, then quit sport for a long time. A few years ago Borek brought me back to endurance sports: first running, then triathlon. Thanks to that I've finished a few half marathons and two half Ironmans. He was able to motivate and lead me well!

“I never thought I would ever enjoy swimming.”

Thanks to Dalibor and his positive attitude, I gradually mastered the basic crawl technique. As a beginner I mainly wanted to swim to feel healthy and stretch my sore back. I have no ambition to race, but it definitely helped me to a better lifestyle.

“I wouldn't have believed I'd run a marathon.”

Borek motivated me to start running. I didn't believe I had a talent for endurance and that I'd even run a marathon, and look forward to it! I also started learning freestyle, and I enjoy it. It's great compensation for running.
