online coaching explained
what we provide
Our online triathlon coaching program provides you with 24/7customised support and attention from professional triathlon coach richard laidlow. We use the training peaks platform to provide you with a fully interactive and customised triathlon training program filled with great information and valuable training and racing tools.
interactive training and support
training peaks software
The training details for each and every session can be seen on training peaks and are automatically emailed to you on a daily basis. No more guesswork on what triathlon training to do, just check your email or the day’s training schedule. This schedule incorporates every single workout. We will also list the purpose for each workout as well as any special instructions or goals for workouts and races.
The plan is built around the primary goal of your training cycle and along with your weekly feedback, is updated to reflect how your training is going. This plan is also adjusted whenever “life happens” and you need to change things around.
your commitment
Online coaching is a two-way street and your feedback is essential to us. Just as we provide the training sessions, 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, email, WhatsApp text or phone.
Letting Richard know the results of each key workout or race, any problems with the training, upcoming holidays, family commitments etc is essential. 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 we ask that you keep us updated on how the training is going.
unlimited contact with your coach

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.
