Hi All,
I am looking for recommendations for a coach in Sydney Eastern Suburbs.
I know of the training groups like BRATs, PB3, Moore Performance, etc. but the schedule of these groups do not really suit me. I would be looking for a one-on-one coach, mainly online via TrainingPeaks but who could also meet from time to time.
Thank you very much!
More about me below
Who am I?
31 years old, French, living in Sydney Eastern suburbs. I started triathlon 6 years ago, and have been training consistently in the past 12 months. Working 9am to 6pm in Sydney CBD. Getting married in September this year in France. No Kids.
Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2016. Although this has minimal impact on my ability to train, I try to really keep my fatigue level under control and listen to my body as much as I can.
Where am I now?
Mostly self-trained. I have used the help of a coach for the first 6 months in 2018. Training 15-20h per week.
Current fitness level: 11h at IM Cairns with a long walk of shame in the last 15km.
70.3 PB: Sunshine Coast in Sept 2018 in 4h45 (29mn swim/2h33 ride/1h38mn run). I have raced 3 IM70.3 races in 2018, all sub-5h
I would say I am a decent swimmer and runner, but comparatively poor rider. I tend to ride too fast in races, which hinders my ability to run. Probably my best area for improvement.
Where do I want to be?
I want to be able to race to my full potential. Most of my races are hindered by stomach cramps on the run. I want to run a proper marathon of the bike.
I strongly believe I am capable of a sub-10h IM, and I would like to execute this. My main weakness seems to be execution on the day.
My plan for the months to come:
- Racing 70.3 Worlds in Nice early September, followed by 1-month break
- Planning on racing IM New Zealand March 2020
