COACH IAN
TriClub Owner & Head Coach
A Qualified BTF Level 2 Triathlon Coach & Level 3 Personal Trainer with 18 years in running, and 7 years in triathlon wanting to help you Find Your Victory.
I started as a runner, and moved into triathlon progressing to a National Age Group Vest.
Like you though, I had to start somewhere...
After an injury whilst trying to hit a marathon PB I decided to venture into the unknown world of triathlon.
-
I was unable to swim front crawl for more than two lengths without getting out of breath,
-
Had never ridden a road bike or used clip-in pedals, and
-
Had panic attacks in Open Water that meant I predominantly did breast stroke for my first Open Water Triathlon, and often exited towards the back of the field.
Thankfully with perseverance, hard work, and a great coach I overcame my fears and qualified for the GB Age Group Team competing in the Triathlon Age Group World Championships in Mexico, 2016.
...here's the 'why'...
I want you to know that I know what it's like to tackle anxiety and fear around ability. Taking on something new, trying to achieve the impossible, as well as overcoming major injuries and life problems.
I can tell you, partly through sport, these things can be overcome. In 2018 I broke my leg in three places and dislocated my ankle. After 9 pins, a metal plate and a long, tough comeback, I won my first race back.
Moving on from this, my vision here and now is to provide Accountability, Community, and a Journey; of quality in-depth coaching/training support to help you achieve your personal running, triathlon and fitness goals.
Here to help you improve your confidence, overcome your mental barriers so you can get running / tick that triathlon off the bucket list. You may even want to progress on to your respective age group team and achieve the 3 national letters on your chest.
Providing you with relevant, useful and tailored information to make those big and marginal gains in an affordable, easy to understand and follow format.
I can help make the world of running & triathlon accessible to you and will walk alongside to help you Find Your Victory!
