Coaching

Coaching is not just for elite triathletes. People who compete at all levels in triathlons need guidance, support, and direction. Many triathletes are busy people who want to make the best use of their limited time. Coaching is for anyone who wants to train safely, effectively, and maximize the gain for their effort.

TriVault provides full coaching services including: consultation to determine goals and race plan; custom training program; unlimited communication; race strategy development; development of heart rate training zones; discounts on multisport gear and equipment; and more.

We will take into consideration all aspects of your life when designing a training program that is tailored to you and your specific needs. You will have the opportunity to give detailed information to your coach regarding your health, athletic history, time constraints, and goals. It is your coach’s job to take the pieces of the puzzle and make them fit together. No two programs are alike because no two athletes are alike. Each workout will have a specific purpose and will move you closer to your individual goals. The guess work and “junk” miles are removed from the equation. We will design your training program and hold you accountable for your workouts.

It is inevitable that events such as: illness, unexpected travel, work, or family responsibilities will affect your training. You have a busy life; let us take responsibility for adjusting your training so you won't miss the important workouts. Coaching requires constant analysis and adjustment to be effective. We will not only create a training program for you but adjust it as necessary to keep you on track and moving forward. We know what to emphasize, when to go hard, when to go easy, and when to take time off.
