"I wanted to take my athletic performance to the next level. With the goals I had set, I knew I was asking something of myself that I couldn’t achieve without guidance. Alan helped me train in a structured way, allowing me to focus on the training itself rather than the planning. Even in weeks when I felt fatigued, all I had to do was follow the plan without overthinking. During peak weeks, this also served as an extra motivator.
I constantly notice improvements in my performance, but the realisation truly hit me in the weeks leading up to my first Ironman 70.3. From never having swum before and never having ridden a road bike, to completing significant distances in training.
It makes a huge difference to have someone actively thinking along with your goals. While it might be possible to reach your goals on your own, it would likely be with less enjoyment and efficiency. Moreover, triathlon coaching is incredibly helpful in building confidence in yourself. You have a ‘game plan’ that you’ve worked on together."
