I’ve raced across every triathlon distance and stood on the start line at the Ironman World Championship. That experience taught me that success isn’t simply about working harder. It comes from training intelligently, staying consistent, recovering properly and enjoying the process.

I primarily coach intermediate and advanced age-group triathletes, alongside motivated beginners preparing for their first triathlon. My coaching is personal, structured and built around your goals, experience, work, family and available training time.

BigTuna operates on a rolling two-week cycle. I review your completed training, feedback, recovery and progress; send you a clear, personally approved athlete report; and create your next individual training block. You also receive a monthly coaching call and direct support between reviews when circumstances change.

My coaching approach has been developed through more than 15 years of personal triathlon experience, continuous learning and working with athletes. I combine empathy, practical judgement and intelligent analysis while remaining personally responsible for every important coaching decision.

Support includes race preparation, pacing and fuelling guidance, mindset and motivation, recovery-aware programming, strength and mobility, and practical equipment advice. When specialist support is needed, I work with or refer athletes to qualified nutritionists, physiotherapists, doctors and bike fitters.
