Iron Tortoise Racing
Triathlon & Run Coaching
Join me at Iron Tortoise Racing for expert coaching in triathlon and running. My personalized services, powered by TriDot and RunDot, are designed to help athletes of all levels reach their goals.
My Story
At 46, numerous signs began to say that I needed to make some changes in my physical health (Check out the photo). Being a very goal oriented person, I decided to run a 10K before the end of the next year. I used to "jog" in the Eighties but I had never been a runner or had even done a 5K. I was able to run a 58:26 10K in November of the next year! More important, I discovered I loved running. After numerous marathons and eventually Ironmans, I left the world of accounting, sales and banking behind and became a personal trainer and Ironman U Certified Coach.
My Philosophy
I am not a person that can just work out because it is good for me. I have to have a goal or challenge that motivates me. The person that I desire to coach is not the front of the pack person trying to reach the podium. I can help that person but they are not who I prefer to coach. I am looking for someone who has set a challenging goal for themselves and wants help to accomplish that goal. Whether it is just to complete a particular race or to improve so they can enjoy it more. My expertise is in half and full marathons, short course and long course triathlons. To do these events requires you to race smart and not just hard. Anyone can start one of these races, my job is to get you to the start line healthy and with the right game plan to get you to the finish line.
The Training Process
I am currently based in London and all training is managed virtually through either TriDot or RunDot. My services are paid for through those platforms and include a premium subscription as well. The initial online consultation will be for one hour. This will be augmented by a questionnaire to completed beforehand. Once training begins, we will typically meet once a week for 30 minutes as well as using email to communicate throughout the week. Frequent communication is necessary to allow me to adjust your training for sickness, injuries and whatever issues you may face. Your training will be frequently adjusted based on your level of skill and execution of the training assigned.
Why TriDot?
Tridot is a triathlon training platform for coaches and athletes. It is the Official Training Platform for IRONMAN. TriDot is powered by an AI engine developed over nearly 20 years that gives you better results in less time with fewer injuries. Tridot can be used with or without a coach and there are subscription levels for any budget.
​
Ok above is the official promotion line from TriDot and I agree with it but I wouldn't be me without giving you my opinion. I have been a runner for the last 15 years and a triathlete for the last 7 years. I have used paper plans and purchased online plans but nothing has come close to what I have experienced using TriDot. One of my biggest regrets is not joining the platform sooner.
This QR code will provide you with two free months of triathlon training on TriDot. It does not include my services as a coach. Even if you decide not to be coached, I encourage you to scan the code and join TriDot. Studies have shown that even if you only use the free two months, on average your time in a long course triathlon will improve by more than sixteen minutes. Of course if you continue to use TriDot the gains on average will double. I will be alerted when you join and we can discuss if you want to be coached. If you would like to ask further questions first, please contact me using my email link below.
