Personalized online triathlon coaching, from sprint to full IRONMAN
Training for a triathlon takes method, consistency and a clear plan across three sports. Whether you're a motivated beginner or an experienced age-grouper, you get coaching that is structured, realistic and built to make you faster.
As your online triathlon coach, I build your plan around your schedule, balance your swim, bike and run sessions and give you daily feedback, whether you're training for your first sprint, an IRONMAN 70.3 or a full IRONMAN at home or in Europe.
Initial assessment and athlete profile
Every coaching plan starts with a detailed call about your background, your goals and your weekly schedule.
We assess your profile with field tests matched to your level:
• critical speed tests for running and swimming
• a critical power test on the bike
• your endurance and threshold
• your technique in each sport
This shows your strengths and what to improve, so your plan starts from where you really are.
Coaching on TrainingPeaks and fatigue tracking
Your whole plan runs on TrainingPeaks and syncs to your Garmin, COROS, Suunto, Wahoo or Apple Watch.
I regularly review:
• your training load across swim, bike and run
• how your fitness evolves
• your fatigue markers
• how you feel, with daily feedback in the session comments
That lets me adjust volume and intensity in real time, so you keep progressing while respecting your form.
Example: the race strategy I send before every IRONMAN (Bayman XXL)
Structured, personalized training plan
From there I build your plan in training blocks around your work and family life. The goal is to develop your endurance, threshold and power step by step while respecting your recovery.
Every session has a clear purpose and fits into the bigger picture. Your peak is timed for your goal race, whether it's a sprint, an Olympic distance, an IRONMAN 70.3 or a full IRONMAN.
Your plan is designed to:
• trigger the right adaptations in all three sports
• lower your injury risk
• get you to race day fresh
Technique and race strategy
Beyond fitness, we work on the key performance skills in triathlon:
• transitions
• swim, bike and run efficiency
• pacing across the three disciplines
• race strategy
• nutrition and hydration
• mental preparation
The goal is for you to race confident, independent and efficient on race day.
Online coaching, wherever you live
Your coaching is 100% online, with a structured plan and regular check-ins by text, email, WhatsApp or video call.
You train where you live, in the US or anywhere else. If your race is in Europe, I also prepare you for bike transport, travel, jet lag and the course.

Your online triathlon coach, with a plan built for your race
Training for a triathlon or an IRONMAN is a big commitment. Between work, family and three sports to fit into your week, it's easy to train too much, too little or in the wrong way.
Online triathlon coaching gives you a clear structure. Your triathlon training plan balances swim, bike and run sessions with strength work and recovery, so you get fitter without burning out. Your training zones come from field tests, not generic formulas, and every week is adjusted to how you feel and what your schedule allows.
You also get daily feedback on your sessions, a nutrition plan and a race-day strategy for your goal race. Whether you're aiming to finish your first IRONMAN 70.3, set a PR or qualify for the IRONMAN World Championship, you train with purpose from day one. To see how I structure a build, read my 20-week IRONMAN 70.3 training plan.
IRONMAN training plan for races in Europe
An IRONMAN is a dream race for many triathletes, and Europe hosts some of the most beautiful ones: IRONMAN France in Nice, IRONMAN Barcelona, IRONMAN Switzerland, IRONMAN Cascais or IRONMAN 70.3 races in Mallorca and Aix-en-Provence.
An IRONMAN abroad needs extra planning. Your training plan prepares you for the course profile, the climate and the water temperature, and we plan your race week around the flight, the time difference and your bike transport.
I've raced full IRONMAN events in France, Spain and Australia and coached more than 125 athletes to their finish line, some all the way to the IRONMAN World Championship.

A triathlon coach who adapts to your life
Every athlete I coach has a different life: a demanding job, kids, business travel or shift work. Your plan is built around that reality, not the other way around.
Key sessions go on the days you have time, weekday workouts stay short and focused, and missed sessions are rescheduled within 24 hours. That's how you stay consistent for months and reach the start line healthy and ready.
Technique, endurance, pacing, nutrition and recovery all progress together, so your gains last from one season to the next.
Looking for an online triathlon coach or an IRONMAN coach for your next race? Let's talk about your goal.
IRONMAN training plan: from your first 70.3 to a full IRONMAN
An IRONMAN 70.3 usually takes 4 to 6 months of structured training, and a full IRONMAN 6 to 9 months. Your IRONMAN training plan builds endurance step by step, with long rides and runs on the weekend, short focused sessions during the week and specific work on pacing, nutrition and transitions.
Long-distance triathlon is won or lost on pacing and fueling. Your IRONMAN coach builds your race-day plan for each discipline and tests it in training, so race day holds no surprises.
Sprint and Olympic triathlon coaching
Sprint and Olympic distance triathlons are great first goals and great speed builders. Your plan focuses on swim technique, open water skills, bike-to-run transitions and higher-intensity sessions, while keeping your training time realistic.
