Coach Bio

Rich is extremely experienced, having started coaching triathlon, cycling, running and more recently, Hyrox, over 10-years ago. As a former lawyer working insane hours in the city, the experience has naturally led him to specialising in helping time-starved athletes find balance in their lives and achieving training consistency.

My training method
The method is simple. I give athletes the structure to find balance with the rest of life's stressors, then the knowledge and tools to keep everything in equilibrium.

The hierarchy of your life in its real order
Family, work, or whatever your priorities are, we make that order explicit, so if your training comes into conflict with one of those things, you already know how to adapt. The plan is then built around how your week actually runs, not an ideal version of it.

Consistency over perfection
Consistency means enough to keep moving forwards, not completing every session perfectly. We give you the tools to scale sessions and/or move them around. A disrupted week does not undo the work already done, and a sea of green on TrainingPeaks is not the goal.

Recovery at the centre
Life does not follow the archaic approach of three to four loading weeks followed by a recovery week that you might find in template plans. Our approach is to chip away at fatigue with 3-5 day cycles followed by some form of recovery and only add what you have the capacity to absorb.

A coach, not only a plan
A plan is just the framework. The useful part of having a coach is the support you receive when reality prevents things going according to that plan: illness, a niggle, a brutal month at work. That is where experience still beats a spreadsheet.
