COACHING PHILSOPHY

What is the best thing you should be working on... and why aren't you?
Typically triathletes underestimate the difficulty of training for three endurance events that are both physically demanding and relatively technical....

Most don't make adjustments for the changes and commitments required to meet the challenging goals that they set themselves.

Most set overly ambitious programmes - committing to time and energy they don't actually have!



Our Coaching Approach #01

Most build up their training too fast, don’t undertake complimentary strength training or make adequate time for stretching and recovery and therefore risk injury as a consequence...and finally

Most triathletes don’t incorporate the fourth and most important discipline of triathlon -rest!

One of the biggest challenges in training for triathlon is juggling normal life and your athletic ambitions into a mere 24 hours, as well as maintaining the essential balances for life such as work, relationships and social activities!

Achieving this complex balance is something we believe is very important in becoming a good triathlete. T3Performance is here to help you address this, so please take time to read about who we are, what we do and how we've learnt - often the hard way!

Our training programme philosophy is based on a "tailor made" approach – no generic programmes, instead we prefer to devise, advise on and coach programmes based on your unique training needs and competition goals.

Above all, it is vital that your expectations and our coaching style/attitude work in harmony together.
