Triathlon Coaching

Basic Triathlon Training Plan

$ 279 / Monthly
Welcome to my Basic Triathlon Training Plan. For individuals seeking a comprehensive, custom, and structured training plan, my service delivers just that. These tailored training plans are carefully designed to help you reach your goals, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete. Without the added coaching and support, this service is perfect for those who are self-driven and seeking guidance on structure and the key components for success. With my training plan, you'll benefit from a clear roadmap to progress, helping you get fitter, stronger, and closer to achieving your triathlon goals. And remember, if you ever feel you need more support or guidance, you can upgrade to the next tier of coaching at any time or purchase additional consulting sessions to fine-tune your training plan. Ideal for individuals who prefer a self-directed approach to their training, my Basic Triathlon Training Plan offers the flexibility and guidance you need to succeed. Join me today and take the first step towards reaching your triathlon aspirations!

Blood Lactate Threshold Testing

ZBV64-5S (1)
Lactate-Testing
Blood Lactate threshold (BLT) testing is one of the most comprehensive ways to determine your individual training zones and your metabolic efficiency. During the session, you will do a ramp test where cycling power or running pace is gradually increased. With each step up in intensity, I will take blood lactate measurements (via a small finger prick) while also recording your heart rate and perceived effort.
The resulting data will be analyzed to set your zones, including your aerobic threshold (LT1), anaerobic threshold (LT2), and VLamax.
Additionally, I will provide you with insight into your metabolic efficiency, helping you understand how your body uses energy during exercise, which can be used to fine-tune your training and diet to optimize performance.

Price: $200 (all coached athletes receive discounts)
Duration: ~1.5 hours
