A full triathlon training program including down to the minute instructions, weekly updates, and monthly personal coaching sessions.

1. Initial Athlete Assessment – We start by discussing your training and injury history, goals, race schedule, and time constraints. Once I review your forms on the above, I give some tips on how I think we can improve your training going forward.

2. Annual Training Plan – We establish a medium-term training plan based on the athlete assessment. Usually the Annual Training Plan (or “ATP” for short) is a misnomer; I typically create an ATP for about 5-6 months, ending at the next “A” priority race you have on the calendar.  After this time period is complete, we will reassess, then add to your existing ATP.

3. Lactate Threshold Test – Training Zones are established through a torture test on the treadmill or stationary bike trainer.  I prefer the standard 30-minute test promoted by Joe Friel, though other options are available to us.  I even have a brutal 30 minute running climb that we can do outdoors.

4. Weekly Training Program – Each week’s training plan is detailed down to the minute and delivered online via Training Peaks.

5. Training Log Review – I review your training at least two times per week and adjustments are made to future training.  One of these is my weekly review which occurs right before we chat.

6. Weekly Call – At the beginning of the week we discuss how your training is going, which informs the next week’s training.  We then plan out the next week’s training based on your past training, the objectives on your Annual Training Plan, and your work schedule and time constraints for the next week.

7. Quarterly In-Person Coaching Session – I will meet you for an in-person swim, bike, run or strength session where we can test your fitness, run you through a workout, examine your mechanics, or show you new training techniques. If schedules line up I may be able to support you on race day.

8. Race Strategy – Before each race I will create a race plan for you after researching the course and conditions and examining your training up to the event.  This plan details what intensity I think you can race at, your nutrition intake, and any specifics about the course and conditions.

9. Race Preview Call – In addition to the written race strategy, we discuss the race plan a few days out from the event.  This only applies to “A” or “B” priority events.

10. Race Nutrition Plan – I will create a race nutrition plan for you in order to best manage your macro and micro-nutrient needs during the event.  I do this for any event of Half-Ironman distance or longer.

11. Strength Program – A good triathlon training program will always include weekly strength training.  If we are both confident in your strength-training competencies, I will create a strength program for you that you can complete on your own in the gym. Ideally you should be strength training twice per week, so you will typically be given a “Day 1” and “Day 2.”  Strength Training cycles run about 4-8 weeks in length, so you will be given different strength training phases throughout the year.

12. Route Mapping – If you live in the Seattle area, I can map some cycling routes for you to get you off of major roads and highways and onto backroads. Riding these routes is completely optional and done at your own risk.

A full correspondence triathlon coaching package designed for those who don’t need or cannot take advantage of in-person coaching.  Includes:

3. Lactate Threshold Test – Training zones are established through a torture test on the treadmill or stationary bike trainer.  I prefer the standard 30-minute test promoted by Joe Friel, though other options are available to us.  I even have a brutal 30 minute running climb that we can do outdoors.
