Coaching
Triathlon coaching
How does coaching with me work?
In person and online.
- Training plans for all three sports
- Triathlon camps with the group
Triathlon coaching for beginners and developing athletes: one plan for swimming, cycling and running, built around the time you actually have.
We start with where you are. Most people coming to triathlon are strong in one sport and new to the other two, so the first question is always what holds you back most. For most people, that is swimming technique, and we begin in a rented lane at the pool.
From there we design a training plan for all three sports, with your main race as the target. We talk through your performance and technique as the season goes, and adjust when work, family or illness gets in the way. That is normal, and a plan that ignores it is no use to anybody.
Thanks to modern technology a lot of this works remotely. Training data, video from the pool and a call are often enough, so you do not have to live near Prague to be coached. For technique work, meeting in person is still worth it.
Beyond the plan, coaching covers the things that decide race day: choosing your races, pacing and race strategy, equipment, nutrition during the race, and the transitions between the three sports.
How we work together
From the first message to a plan that keeps adjusting as your season goes on.
- 01First contactYou write to me and we talk about where you are, what you want to race and how much time you really have.
- 02Athlete intakeWe put together your profile: sporting background, current fitness, work and family constraints, and your main goal.
- 03Your monthly planYou get a personalised plan across all three sports, aimed at your race and fitted to your weeks.
- 04Week by weekI look through your completed training roughly weekly, and we adjust over WhatsApp when life gets in the way.
- 05Month-end reviewA fuller look back at the month together, then the next month's plan built on what we learned.
What coaching includes
Training plans
One plan across swimming, cycling and running, aimed at your main race and fitted to the hours you have.
Swim technique sessions
Pool work with video from several angles, reviewed together: breathing, catch and body position.
Consultations
Race selection, pacing and race strategy, equipment, nutrition, and strength and mobility exercises.
Group rides & camps
Ride with the triathlon group and join the camps, where we train together and find motivation.
Who I coach
My typical trainee is someone with a sporting background in one of the disciplines who is new to triathlon. I guide them through the early stages towards their main goal, usually a half Ironman or a full Ironman within a year or two.
The group
You can join my triathlon group. Great people. None of us are top athletes, but we want to get better, and enjoying the sport is our biggest reward.
