Online Coaching
Online Coaching Explained
Whether you are new to swimming, cycling, running, triathlon or a seasoned triathlete, our online coaching program provides you with customised support and attention from your own experienced IRONMAN certified coach 24/7. We use the TrainingPeaks platform to provide you with a fully interactive and customised triathlon training program filled with great information and valuable training and racing tools.
​
How The Process Works
Once you have contacted us, you will be asked to complete our Elevate Performance Coaching Athlete Questionnaire. At this stage, your coach will contact you to discuss your profile further. You can both raise any questions you may have and more importantly start to get to know each other.
Athlete Profile
From your athlete profile, we gather detailed information about you, your training experience and ability level, racing history and performance goals. This will allow us to carry out a full and thorough evaluation before building your annual training plan (ATP). Using our training philosophy, your program gradually and progressively builds you into a better athlete; however old or young you are and whatever your fitness ability level is at.
The training plan is built specifically for you, taking into account your commitments with regard to your family life, business travel, available training time, training facilities, equipment and club sessions, etc. We cater for all levels of athletes from complete beginners all the way through to age group champion athletes.
Training Peaks Software
The training details for each and every session can be seen on the TrainingPeaks platform. No more guesswork on what swim / bike / run / strength training to do; just check your TrainingPeaks App for the day’s training schedule. We will also scale each workout according to your ability/threshold level and list the purpose for each workout session.
The plan is built around the primary goal of your training cycle and along with your weekly feedback. This plan is also adjusted whenever “life happens” and whenever you need to change things around.
"When setting up an athlete's program you really do have to leverage the principle of periodization in order to help them progress over time. Coaches do it in different ways. The way I like to look at it is I have basically a preseason period where I help the athlete establish technique, build an aerobic base, that foundation that's so important, and also develop strength. From there we'll go into more of a pre-competitive phase where we'll start doing more specific work, do the kind of racing they want to do and start preparing them for actually getting out there in competition. And then, of course, we have our in-season phase, where the athlete is really focused on the energy systems and the quality of training that will help them perform at their highest level for that particular distance. When that's all done, I do get into a phase where I like to have recovery. There's a period of time where the athlete absolutely needs to decompress, and take some time, and let things go mentally and physically, and almost take a step back. I almost tell an athlete you have to take one step back in order to take two steps forward." - Coach Arthur

The Athlete’s Commitment
Online coaching is a two-way street and your feedback is essential. Just as we provide the training plans, we expect you to provide all the feedback that will allow us to help you achieve your best. Throughout the program, we rely upon consistent weekly feedback via your online training diary, WhatsApp, text or phone.
Letting your coach know the results of each key workout or race, any problems with the training, upcoming holidays, family commitments, etc is important. This allows us to make any necessary adjustments to the training schedule.
The schedule you receive is not set in stone but is a flexible work in progress. It is modified continually, based on your feedback and with the results of each workout and race. This is why it is essential that you keep us updated on how the training is going.
​
Unlimited Contact With Your Coach
Unlike other coaching programs, we don’t limit the number of messages, calls or emails from athletes. We wholeheartedly welcome and encourage your feedback as often as necessary, especially in the early part of the training schedule. Send us all your questions, let us know how things are going both physically and mentally. You are the only one who truly knows your body so we rely on your feedback to keep your program on the fast track to success.
