Lakes2tri coaching

I am a level 3 British Triathlon coach and also work for British Triathlon, training new coaches. I have coached for over 30 years and have succeeded in training complete beginners to finish their first triathlon, right up to a European champion at the European Long course championships.
I come from a sports science background but also believe sport should be fun so I deliver plans that contain sessions with variety and motivational elements.I am always happy to be contacted and assist athletes.
