Coaching
Remote and in-person coaching, individualised for you.
We specialise in offering endurance sport coaching for triathlon, duathlon, cycling, running, swimrun, and aquabike. Whatever your ability, experience, or goals, we can coach you to success in a balanced way. You can choose to work with one of us or both of us. You can learn about us here.
We are firm believers in the notion that one way of training does not fit all. Everyone is unique. This is why we work with athletes on an individual basis. To enable us to offer the best possible training opportunities, we work with only a small number of athletes at any time.
We work with athletes who recognise that bespoke coaching and the level of personal attention this allows for works best for them.
We are fully qualified and insured for all the sports we coach. We are both Level 3 coaches with national governing body qualifications and insurance, amongst our other qualifications.
Coaching, Training Prescription, & Support That Fits Your Unique Needs & Your Life
Free Consultation Call
All coaching begins with a full consultation, which is free of charge. This allows us as coaches to build a profile of you as the athlete. We can discuss previous training and sporting backgrounds; analyse current strengths plus areas for development; review levels of performance; and map future goals and aspirations. We are firm believers in maintaining life balance, so we will ask you to take into consideration your life outside the sport and be aware that at times they may conflict.
Online Training Prescription
We upload training weekly to Training Peaks. Whilst we draft an overall plan for your season, we upload training weekly so that your next week always reflects what is happening for you in your life that week and is built on how the previous week’s training has gone.
You also have the opportunity to contact us on a daily basis to discuss your training or ask any questions or let us know of events that we need to factor into your training schedule.
Bespoke To You
We work with a small number of athletes at any time, so we truly are giving you the attention you need.
Depending on your goals, our coaching can include swim, bike, run, technique and form, strength and conditioning, and yoga.
Motivation, advice on equipment, events, and race strategies are always included.
In-Person Coaching Workshops
All training schedules are developed to meet the racing goals of the athletes attending. It’s your training, and we tailor the training distances and intensities to you and/or what your group is training for. We cater for all distances up to Full and Ultra events.
We offer workshops for up to 8 athletes at a time, from a minimum of just 1. We are open to all levels and abilities of athletes and offer a high level of personal attention.
Training Content
Your training will include a primary session on each of your training days, focusing on swim, bike, run (according to your event) along with an option of supplementary strength and conditioning and/or yoga.
We include technique development and video analysis. Getting the basics right matters for your training and racing. We offer feedback and reviews to enable your future training development.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are your coaching qualifications?
We are fully qualified and insured for all the activities we coach. Our qualifications can be seen at https://swimbikerunyoga.com/qualifications.
Which platform do you use to deliver training?
We use TrainingPeaks to deliver your training schedule. For all new athletes, a Free Premium plan is included in the cost of coaching. If you have an existing TrainingPeaks account, you can continue to use it. We will send you a link to connect to our coaching account and will upgrade you to Premium if needed.
Which coach will work with me?
Some of our athletes are coached by just one of us. Others prefer to be coached by both of us. The choice is yours.
How can I communicate with coaches?
We are available between 08:00 and 18:30 GMT each day. We can be contacted by Messenger, WhatsApp, or email. We will set up regular video chats to facilitate more discussion about your progress and future direction, and any aspects of your training that you wish to discuss.
How far ahead is my training delivered?
We know that you need to plan ahead, so we will outline your training phases up to your goal event, but we deliver your sessions to your calendar a week or two at a time. This is so that we are truly prescribing training which reflects your recent progress and any commitments or events you have coming up in the next few weeks. It also means we minimise the chance of having to make adjustments due to your scheduling changes so we have more time available to add the coaching input that makes a difference to you.
What is your cancellation policy?
We ask only for one month’s notice if you decide to stop your coaching.
Arrange A Free Consultation Call
The coach-athlete relationship matters. We offer this free call as a chance for you to get to know us and for us to get to know you. If we are a good match for you and your coaching needs, we can then progress on to creating your annual plan and training prescription.
You have the choice of working with Kate, Ian, or both of us.
