Optimise Your Upcoming Ironman Finish
With heavy training blocks ahead, you do not have to handle the preparation alone. Replace the isolation and second-guessing of advanced training with a close coaching partnership that adapts to how you feel, secures your nutrition, and builds absolute belief for race day.
The Summer peak volume strain
The Hidden Challenge of Advanced Long-Distance Training
For an experienced long-distance athlete, the hardest part of a heavy training block isn’t just physical fatigue—it’s the mental weight of managing it all yourself. When you already know how to finish an event, generic programs fail to account for how you actually cope with the training load alongside family life, annual holidays, and daily routines.
It is easy to feel isolated, second-guess your progress, or push through underlying exhaustion because you lack an objective partner to talk things through with. You might find yourself working hard but plateauing at a specific pace, fading during the final miles of the marathon under high temperatures, or experiencing recurring nutritional issues when training intensities increase. Without a dedicated coach who listens to how you feel and monitors your health, hard training often leads to burnout or injury rather than the progression you deserve.
A Structured Approach to Your Ironman Finish
A Shared Journey Over Mass-Produced Plans
We place genuine passion for coaching connection at the center of your preparation. Performance data gives us the facts, but regular conversation tells us the whole story. Our coaching focuses on direct, collaborative support to guide you smoothly through your training:
Consistent Personal Contact
Regular check-ins and open communication mean we talk through your fatigue, match training to your actual energy levels, and adjust weekly goals based on how you feel and live.Collaborative Pacing & Nutrition
We work closely together to test and refine your fueling strategy during long efforts. We establish clear effort boundaries that you understand and believe in, removing race-day anxiety.Shared Workload Decisions
We use TrainingPeaks data to watch over your health and physical recovery, acting as an objective guide to tell you when it is safe to push and when it is time to rest.
Gordon - 1:1 Coached Athlete
Chris provided a great route map for me through the usual challenges which occur prior to any event: work, illness, family etc, and adapted my sets and sessions without any drama.
He supported these changes with reassuring words that I was still making the progress required, not to panic and trust the process.
Training for an Ironman can be a lonely activity and an experienced knowledgeable supporting voice through that journey was invaluable tome ultimately achieving my objective.
STATS: Completed a hot Ironman Western Australia in a time of 13:20:14

Pete - 1:1 Coached Athlete
“Chris helped me no end up to Ironman Copenhagen. I had a back injury early in training which was managed really well.
My cycling performance in particular has improved and I’m really enjoying the sessions.
I have already booked my next Ironman with a plan in place to go even faster.”
STATS: Completed his first Ironman at Copenhagen in 13:31:29
