Triathlon
Sophie specialises in middle distance & long distance triathlon and whilst she offers discounts for groups who are training for a specific event, she generally coaches on a 1-2-1 basis, which is delivered remotely.
All coaching packages offer dedicated and professional advice
Regardless of experience, they are tailored to meet individual needs and are adapted as fitness improves and goals are achieved. They are designed to enable the athlete to:​​
Go Faster & Avoid Injury
From working with beginners to elite athletes the aim is to see quantifiable performance improvements achieved safely.
​
Manage Goals
Working together we can set, manage and work towards realistic goals, with a pathway to success clearly mapped out.
​
​
Manage Time
Sessions are focused on ensuring maximum training impact, with no 'junk' miles. Regardless of the coaching package each session will have clear objectives and purpose.
​
​
Train Consistently
Help with prioritising the many unavoidable obstacles that get in the way of training
​
Monitoring your progress
She uses a platform called Training Peaks (which athletes will need to download), this is a mobile and desktop application dedicated to smart and effective endurance training. It is an incredibly powerful tool for monitoring progress, viewing set sessions and for communicating between coach and athlete.
All sessions are clearly laid out, emailed to the athlete daily, automatically added to a personal calendar, can be uploaded to a watch/bike computer and are colour coded to confirm if the session has been competed correctly.
Athletes are asked to add comments post sessions to give them context and to help monitor them. This level of communication helps avoid injury, or sickness through over training and helps me ensure they are being pushed at the correct level.
Sessions can be monitored remotely through a variety of different metrics including heart rate, pace/speed, power.
