Coaching Plans
​
Generic training plans can work for some people and there are some good resources out there, 220 Triathlon have a very comprehensive list of free plans for a variety of distances.
However it's rare that life fits into a generic plan so we'd recommend sitting down with a qualified coach who can help tailor a plan to you. But 121 coaching can be expensive and is often dependent on your sporting aspirations.
Our coaching team is growing in size and experience all the time and we're happy to help members look at training plans and give advice and guidance, hopefully given structure and confidence so they don't feel like they're blindly training.
