“If its endurable then endure it. Stop complaini

“If its endurable then endure it. Stop complaining” – Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor

Training and racing is not always easy! Not just in the physical sense, but mentally. HARD efforts to build strength and race pace will be tough, but if executed at just the right (adaptable) intensity and with focus on the now, you CAN endure the discomfort and WILL come out the other end better for it.

This 2000 year old saying is still applicable now!

Coaching triathlon (or any other sport) is not a p

Coaching triathlon (or any other sport) is not a pure or exact science. Every athlete is different and reacts to training stimulus and movement changes differently.

Finding a direction that works for the individual and leads to gains is the key to success – this sometimes means breaking the rules! Or rather, breaking the norm.

Sometimes your nice new shiny kit needs customisin

Sometimes your nice new shiny kit needs customising!

Don’t be afraid of adjusting your kit to fit YOUR body and needs – one size does NOT fit all! Bigger, longer, wider, etc is not always best. Figure out what you need so you can customise your kit to get the best results and stay healthy.

Long paddles are not ideal for most swimmers; reduce the paddle length to reduce shoulder strain, accelerate the arms ability to get the fingertips pointed to the floor and to apply force to the push phase of the stroke

Triathlon has the added benefit of needing 2 other sports to be trained for – yes it’s a benefit!

Don’t overdo the run training – build fitness in the swim and bike to complement the run and avoid the stress high run miles places on the body.
