This is a great plan for triathletes who want to keep up with some swimming and biking while focusing on a half marathon. Breakdown is 3 runs (endurance maxing at 2:10, tempo/interval, aerobic), 2 bikes (technique, tempo/interval), 2 swims (technique, interval), one recovery day.
I employ a collaborative coaching style. I believe there needs to be a good balance in the athlete's life and triathlon training is only a part of that life. That said, there is a certain amount of discipline and dedication required to meet your potential. I work with the athlete to fit the training they need into an already busy schedule on a one-on one basis as everyone's needs are different. I am committed to my athletes and expect them to be committed to their training.
