Personalised triathlon, endurance and strength coaching for athletes who want to train with clarity, confidence and purpose. Led by former Team GB swimmer and British record holder Mark Racher, Triathlon Base combines 26+ years in fitness with proven coaching experience—from first finish lines to IRONMAN, World Age Group titles and professional pathways. Train locally or remotely with a plan built around your goals and life.
I help athletes train with clarity, confidence and purpose whether you are preparing for your first triathlon, chasing a PB, or pursuing a World Championship qualification.
My coaching is shaped by a lifetime in high-performance sport. I competed as a professional swimmer from age 11, represented Team GB for 12 years at European and World Championships, became Britain’s No.1 in the 200m and 400m individual medley, held the British record, and ranked in the world top 10.
After finishing competitive swimming in 2003, I focused on triathlon and was talent-spotted by the British Triathlon Performance Squad. Their development programme led to Elite Athlete qualification, followed by a successful long-course racing career including eight IRONMAN and more than 20 IRONMAN 70.3 events.
Today, I bring that experience to every athlete I coach. With more than 26 years in the fitness industry, I am a British Triathlon-qualified coach, Level 3 Personal Trainer and Strength & Conditioning Coach. I create individual, evidence-informed programmes that fit the athlete not the other way around combining endurance, strength, technique and the right level of accountability.
My athletes have gone on to win World Age Group titles at IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3, as well as progress to professional careers. Whatever your starting point, you will receive straightforward guidance, a purposeful plan and committed coaching tailored to your goals.
