Coaching Service Offers

High Performance: Professional Racing If you’re an elite age grouper who’s aiming to move up to professional racing, or if you’re are already a Pro who’s keen to up their game and see improved results, then this is the option for you. Your ironguides Coach knows what it takes to train and compete at the highest level in the sport. You will benefit from ironguides’ first-hand development and guidance of ironman champions, as well as our experience with Olympic and Ironman World Champions. (more) I joined ironguides in late 2009 after I completed my first year as a pro. I had just moved to Switzerland then and started to work 4-5 hours a day, which let me pay my triathlon expenses. It was great to start working with my coach, as he could plan my training according to my work schedule, and he increased the quality of my training a lot, though I spent less time on my bike or running. Thanks to my swimming backgound, I never had a problem to get out the water with the first pack, but thanks to ironguides my bike splits improved a lot, and I was able to stay in the lead group during the whole bike leg and I was able to start the running in a fresher condition! This consistent work was not easy, but all was worth it as I claimed my first ever Ironman title in 2011 in Korea, and have become a steady Top-10 finisher in any Ironman or Ironman 70.3 races around the world.”

– Balazs Csoke, Professional Triathlete, Ironman Champion, ironguides Athlete

Event based: Olympic Triathlon The ironguides 12-week Olympic Distance Triathlon Training Manual provides all the information you need to successfully prepare for your next Olympic Distance Triathlon. It’s effective, efficient, safe and fun. Based on The Method. (more) “The 12-week plan is fantastic. I have made breakthroughs in all three disciplines, especially the swim — and I am not a beginner in the sport! … for so many seasons I was sucked into the Zone-based myth and was always overtrained when I hit the Build phases. Now, even though the program is demanding, I always feel rested. I have not had an injury nor felt weak or sick. My times are always improving and there are actually LESS rest days than the Zone-based training program. It’s amazing really!” Thyrio, ironguides Forum Monthly Subscriptions: Balanced Triathlon This plan is specific for those who want to maintain their gains made during the season, but also want to have a mental and physical rest from the daily demands of tri-training (more) Keegan Scott “I’ve always been self-coached but didn’t want the commitment of a coach while I was interested in following a structure that works. The subscription service is a great idea as I’m still able to train using The Method, while it fits my budget and gives me flexibility to change the focus from single discipline to the balanced programme as I progress into the season.”
