Completing an Ironman is one of the most exhilarating experiences available to humans. There’s something special about crossing the line after completing an Ironman that can’t quite be put into words. You have to experience it yourself. 

I have finished 6 Ironman events in my life (so far) and each one is as memorable as the last. You will never forget those moments, because you worked so hard to get there.

As a certified Ironman coach and a level 2 World Triathlon coach, I have helped dozens of people achieve their first Ironman. Many of those athletes I have helped to achieve personal bests later in their journeys. My work as a physical therapist puts me in a great position to understand load management. Injuries are commonplace when training for long distance endurance events without adequate recovery. At FITFORLONG we look to minimise injury while maximising performance.

We begin with an assessment that takes strength, flexibility, range of movement, balance and coordination into account. Once we have these results we can make a plan for strength work and mobility work which will work alongside your training to help reduce injury.

We would then test your fitness in swim, bike and run - this is our starting point of fitness and lets us know how much work needs to be done in order to achieve your goal(s).

Then we can start the programming of your training plan which is done on the Training Peaks platform. Check ins bi-weekly. Updates to all plans regularly. Strength work updated regularly to match your training load. Retests to check progress. Race strategy, preparation and nutrition advice.

Naturally, everyone has a different work and home life which will effect how much training time is available. At FITFORLONG the programming is bespoke - to fit around YOUR life. Over the past decade I have worked with shift workers, nurses, doctors, firemen and many others with erratic schedules. We make it work by collaboration and honesty.

There’s a lot more to coaching than just training programs. My education in Coaching and Coaching Psychology is rooted in an athlete centred approach. Coaching people to become the best athlete and individual they can be.
