F4L Coaching are offering the opportunity to sign up to a coaching plan (with a discount) to get the best out of yourself as a Triathlete…
Athletes come to a coach in search of a plan, that little ‘je ne sais quoi’ that will help them to achieve their ambition. Well, the reality is, there is no single magic formula. Everyone is different. There is an individual formula for everyone.
There are three things that I believe are essential to making progress in Triathlon: consistency, recovery and the structure and balance to your training. I believe Continue reading
When planning athletes’ seasons or even multi-seasons I liken it to painting a picture. The picture won’t be complete until you complete your ‘A’ race. So, where do we start?

The base period is the foundation of a triathlon training program, when you build the fitness, strength and skill to reach the finish line of your race.

It is not just about putting together a couple of weeks, or even months but over many years? Let us begin by looking at why training falters, what stops athletes training?
INJURY – We all have them. Some occur due to a specific incident: bike crash, running along a path and turning an ankle etc. However, in my experience triathletes have a tendency to over-train and that is a recipe for disaster. Overuse injuries can occur as a result of doing too much too soon, or not getting enough recovery during high intensity periods of training; Continue reading
