ONLINE COACHING

Online Coaching Explained

Whether you are new to swimming, cycling, running, triathlon or a seasoned triathlete, our online coaching program provides you with customised support and attention from your own experienced IRONMAN certified coach 24/7. We use the TrainingPeaks platform to provide you with a fully interactive and customised triathlon training program filled with great information and valuable training and racing tools.

How The Process Works

Once you have contacted us, you will be asked to complete our Elevate Performance Coaching Athlete Questionnaire. At this stage, your coach will contact you to discuss your profile further. You can both raise any questions you may have and more importantly start to get to know each other.

Athlete Profile

From your athlete profile, we gather detailed information about you, your training experience and ability level, racing history and performance goals. This will allow us to carry out a full and thorough evaluation before building your annual training plan (ATP). Using our training philosophy, your program gradually and progressively builds you into a better athlete; however old or young you are and whatever your fitness ability level is at.

The training plan is built specifically for you, taking into account your commitments with regard to your family life, business travel, available training time, training facilities, equipment and club sessions, etc. We cater for all levels of athletes from complete beginners all the way through to age group champion athletes.

Training Peaks Software

The training details for each and every session can be seen on the TrainingPeaks platform. No more guesswork on what swim / bike / run / strength training to do; just check your TrainingPeaks App for the day’s training schedule. We will also scale each workout according to your ability/threshold level and list the purpose for each workout session.

The plan is built around the primary goal of your training cycle and along with your weekly feedback. This plan is also adjusted whenever “life happens” and whenever you need to change things around.

"When designing an athlete's program, leveraging the principle of periodization is crucial for fostering long-term progression. Every coach has their approach, but I like to break it down into distinct phases that build on each other for peak performance. I start with the preseason phase, focusing on establishing solid fundamentals: refining technique, building a robust aerobic base, and developing essential strength—laying the foundation that is critical for any athlete.

Next, we transition into the pre-competitive phase, where the training becomes more specific. We dial into race simulations and targeted workouts tailored to the athlete’s goals, sharpening both their physical and mental readiness for competition. This sets the stage for the in-season phase, where the emphasis is on fine-tuning energy systems and optimizing the quality of training to ensure they’re performing at their highest level for their specific race distances.

Finally, once the season concludes, I emphasize the importance of a recovery phase. This period is vital for both physical and mental decompression, allowing athletes to step back, recharge, and reset. I often tell athletes that sometimes you need to take a step back to propel yourself forward. It’s this cycle of building, refining, and recovering that truly unlocks an athlete’s potential over time." — Coach Arthur

The Athlete’s Commitment

Online coaching is a two-way street and your feedback is essential. Just as we provide the training plans, we expect you to provide all the feedback that will allow us to help you achieve your best. Throughout the program, we rely upon consistent weekly feedback via your online training diary, WhatsApp, text or phone.

Letting your coach know the results of each key workout or race, any problems with the training, upcoming holidays, family commitments, etc is important. This allows us to make any necessary adjustments to the training schedule.

The schedule you receive is not set in stone but is a flexible work in progress. It is modified continually, based on your feedback and with the results of each workout and race. This is why it is essential that you keep us updated on how the training is going.

Unlimited Contact With Your Coach

Unlike other coaching programs, we don’t limit the number of messages, calls or emails from athletes. We wholeheartedly welcome and encourage your feedback as often as necessary, especially in the early part of the training schedule. Send us all your questions, let us know how things are going both physically and mentally. You are the only one who truly knows your body so we rely on your feedback to keep your program on the fast track to success.
