Reggie aimed for the stars, setting a goal that even seasoned triathletes find daunting – completing the 70.3 Santa Cruz Half-Ironman Triathlon in under 4:20 hours? Has he bitten off more than he can chew? Armed with determination and grit, Reggie tackled his training regimen solo. But he faced challenges like injuries, burnout, and directionlessness along the way.

• How do I actually train for a 70.3 triathlon?
• How can I avoid injuries? How do I set up my training?
• How do I structure triathlon training?
• How to a balance and maximising my training time with all my other commitments?
• Do I just train hard all the time?
• What do I need to consider when it comes to recovery and nutrition?

Each answer led to more questions, and decision fatigue quickly set in. But one truth became crystal clear: Despite his efforts, he realized the magnitude of the task ahead –  after hours of swimming and biking, running a strong & fast Half-Marathon is one heck of a challenge and it demands serious preparation. Sounds familiar?

By the end of Episode 1, he still doesn’t know it yet… but these struggles will soon lead him to a big decision—finding a coach.
