Energise Coaching - triathlon, running, swimming

I believe in sustainable training around living life. I see too many people burning out when age group athletes should be able to enjoy their sport, have time for other things, while still seeing solid performance gains. I offer personalised training programs & coaching or group coaching services to swimmers, triathletes and runners to suit lifestyle and performance goals.
