Simon Olney   Phazon Triathlon

Bio

I recently left my career in the film industry after 10 years as a result of falling in love with triathlon and achieving more than I ever dreamed was possible. I found the most rewarding part of my training and racing was seeing my friends making positive life choices and signing up for events themselves, helping them achieve their goals was the most rewarding thing I'd ever done, even more than my own achievements.

I live and breathe triathlon, working as a swimming teacher when not coaching, running my own beginner friendly tri, and heading up my local triathlon club on a voluntary basis. I believe triathlon should be a healthy lifestyle rather than simply a finish line to cross, so work with athletes to improve everything from their sleep pattern to their diet. I believe in balancing training with family, social life and work, so will work with each athlete to create a unique schedule, week by week if necessary to avoid overtraining and ensure they reach the finish line in top form. For this reason, I do not provide generic training plans as every athlete is unique, and deserves a bespoke service.
