Thanyapura, Together with Ironguides, Launches Thanyapura Online Triathlon Coaching

PHUKET, THAILAND – Thanyapura Health & Sports Resort, Asia’s premier sports centre for world-class training and in partnership with Ironguides, has officially launched Thanyapura Online Triathlon Coaching – a service which extends Thanyapura’s and Ironguide’s commitment to provide world-class training guidance and support to goal-oriented triathletes all over the globe.

“This is a collaboration like no other here in Asia.  The sport of triathlon is booming here, with concurrent addition of triathlon events in the region.  Thanyapura is right where it should be in providing athletes with the necessary facilities to aid in athlete performance.  With Ironguides working with Thanyapura in its online coaching platform, we can reach and support many goal-minded triathletes all over the world,” said Vinnie Santana, ironguides head coach.

Ironguides, a Bangkok-based company with over 10 years’ experience coaching athletes of all levels, has been guiding triathletes online – from professional Ironman champions to first-time triathletes.  With this collaboration, Thanyapura’s expert triathlon coaches provide valuable knowledge and insights online, where triathletes can access professional coaching from the experienced coaching team.

The Thanyapura Triathlon Team won 12 titles in the 2016 Asian professional racing.  World-class professional triathletes such as the 2-time Ironman 70.3 World Champion Michael Raelert and multiple Ironman and Challenge Champion Fredrik Croneberg held their training camps at Thanyapura’s facilities.

Triathletes who trained at Thanyapura have the opportunity to continue their improvement by having direct and responsive online communication with the coaches who trained them onsite.

With the growing popularity of triathlon in Asia and the world, there is a huge need for structured guidance for triathletes.  With Thanyapura Online Triathlon Coaching, triathletes have access to training programmes to suit their varying needs, from trying to gain a podium spot, age-groupers trying to beat their personal records, down to beginners who want to finish their races in the best possible way.

The online facility aims to help the sport’s newcomers, time-starved triathlon enthusiasts and intermediate to advanced athletes with demanding challenges and goals.

Triathletes who sign up with the programme learn more about training time management, technique improvements for swimming, biking and running, as well as improved physical ability, race strategy and tactics.

Athletes can purchase set training plans based on ability and race distance in English and Thai languages.

The expert team of coaches in this online coaching facilities bring different sets of unique skills and specialities to all the training programmes.  They are:

  • Ricky Phanthip, Head Coach of Triathlon
  • David Escolar Ballesteros, Swimming and Triathlon Coach
  • Tom Topham, Sports Scientist and Personal Trainer

“Thanyapura’s Online Triathlon Coaching adds in another element of online coaching.  It goes beyond the online aspects as athletes can visit their coach to train in one of the best sports facilities in Asia.  The coaches at Thanyapura are always exposed to some of the best training methods through elite triathlon coaches and athletes visiting our sports complex,” said Alexandra Lochmatter, Director of Business Development.

Aside from the Thanyapura coaching team, the partnership is supplemented with Ironguides coaches based in Bangkok and Singapore.

Articles from the Coaches

 Speed up your Ironman Racing with Neuromuscular Resets – Coach Woody

At ironguides we emphasize developing motor patterns in training, instead of the traditional focus on endurance development. We approach training this way to ensure specificity and reduce the risk of injury. The endurance element of training is still developed on the side – it’s just no longer the sole focus. (more)

 Increase your chances for a Kona slot – Coach Vinnie

Every year a few weeks ahead of Kona all triathletes start to get excited about the big show, wondering if one day they could be a part of the Ironman World Championships as a competitor themselves. Having done the race when I was a professional triathlete and having worked with many athletes who qualified for the race in the past few years, I have found there are some very clear rules on what it takes to qualify – apart from hard work. (more)

Testimonial:
“Twelve months ago I decided to do Ironman China with the aim of maybe qualifying for the World Championships in Kona. I purchased the ironguides 20-week Ironman program, and followed it reasonably closely for the 20 weeks leading up to the Ironman. Well, it worked!! I finished in 9:52 – the 2nd fastest age group time at the race – and I confirmed my spot at the World Championships in Hawaii. Woo hoo!!!” – David Bently, ironguides athlete at Ironman China 2010 

Qualify to the World Championships with our Personalized Online Coaching packages

You’ll be amazed at the quality of training you can do when time comes at a premium. This training plan will be tailored to your agenda and fit into your busy routine. In fact, many of our athletes fit into this category—with time-consuming corporate jobs and young families—because triathletes typically tend to be high achievers and we at ironguides know all about that.. (more)

Testimonial:

“When I signed up for ironguides, my goal was to break 11 hours in a full Ironman and break five hours in a half Ironman while still juggling with my professional & personal life. ironguides helped me achieve both of of them. I owe this to the carefully built training plans from my coach and from the confidence I had in the approach. As a bonus I also learned that triathlon is not only about the numbers but it became my lifestyle & passion! ” – Vagner Bessa

Beginner Training Plan – Only $39/month

Are you new to the sport of triathlon, or do you prefer a lower, fitness-oriented (rather than performance-oriented) training volume? Then the ironguides Beginner Triathlon Training Subscription is for you! Your training in all three sports focuses on training you like you race, and provides sessions that improve your triathlon-specific skills, strength and aerobic fitness so that you race faster and train healthier.

“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”

Video: 3 steps to a faster swim 

I’ve been coaching a triathlon club for almost ten years and a very common mistake I see people doing is looking ahead / up, as they swim, this only makes their legs sink, creating more drag and slowing them down. The steps below will force you to swim at an appropriate technique, when it comes to head position and how your upper body can impact where your legs will be in the water: Read article and watch video.

Articles from the Coaches

 Coach Woody: Ironman Training – Spring Mistakes

Having trained well all winter and in good shape we need to take a step back and make sure we do not get carried away with this boost in motivation. Your training plan may well have changed to coincide with the arrival of spring and the impending race season and with these changes there are some often ignored elements that need to be taken into consideration. (more)

 Coach Vinnie: The Benefits of the Treadmill

Most of the people I coach are encouraged to make heavy use of the treadmill, especially if they are based in big cities with limited access to good running venues. I can tell you that a few professional world champions have run almost exclusively on the treadmill for long stretches and come off running faster than ever. How does a treadmill contribute so much to improved run skills? (more)

 Coach Woody: Ironman Performance – Preparation races and training through a race

While training is ramping up and the focus must be on following your program training races are also of great importance at this time. One of the mistakes a lot of people make at this time is thinking they need to do lots of endurance events as practice, i believe the complete opposite to be true. An endurance event such as a half ironman is very demanding on the body and will cause a major disruption to your training plan both before and significantly after the event. (more)

 Coach Shem: Trail Running 101

No matter what level of runner you are, as long as you don’t suffer from chronic ankle, knee or back injuries, there is a trail out there with your name on it just waiting to be discovered. Beginners should start with ‘easier’ trails of simple packed dirt or grass tracks to get a feel for the softer and less stable ground underfoot. The Green Corridor is a good place to start conditioning your knees and ankles for a bumpier ride. You would also be wise to aim for a conservative distance that you can complete with confidence. To the uninitiated, trail running is tough and a shorter distance can feel like the equivalent of a longer run on the road. (more)

 Coach Woody: Performing on race day

We all head into the race differently, though rarely in a completely perfect scenario: we may be a kilogram heavier than we would like, have missed one long run or long bike, taken too little rest or did too much travel. There is always something but come race day we all need to realize there is nothing we can do to change our current circumstances.. (more)

March 2016

Have you been confused recently with all the swimming advice that is out there? This edition of the e-kick is focused on swimming, often an overlooked part of triathlon training but that can have an impact on both your bike and run splits.

Video: Complete guide (with video) to swimming technique and training 

While the swim portion of the ironman may only represent 10 percent of the race, it does play a significant role in the outcome. The time taken to exit the water is just a fraction of the whole picture of performance— the state in which we exit the water and how much energy is expended during the swim is critical to the overall performance at the end of the day. There are two key elements to the swim: technique and fitness. Different combinations of these elements can lead to very different results: Read article and watch video.

Articles from the Coaches

 Coach Woody: Ironman Training – Time to review and listen to your body

While the race season is indeed approaching rapidly in training terms it is still quite a way in the distance and now is not the time to be training all guns blazing with the end goal in sight! Most of you will be training for a major Ironman race mid summer which is likely to be around 5-6 months away still and right now your focus should still be on building the base of speed and strength before any major endurance work begins.. (more)

 Coach Vinnie: The Complete Guide for Triathlon Running – How to Train and Race

The run leg of a triathlon is generally seen as a relationship of “love or hate” by athletes. For a large number of triathletes with a running background and some experience in the discipline, it can be their favorite leg of a race, but there is also the second group, those originating from swimming and cycling, who are faced with a new challenge in the race, and the run leg can be the Achilles heel within the sport. The article is a guide for both the experienced or beginner runner. You will learn about the main running workouts within a specific training schedule for triathlon and you will also learn the best race day strategy according to your background, body type and swim/ bike fitness. (more)

 Coach Shem: Power meter for Dummies

Do you have a power meter but isn’t quite sure on the best way to use it? Are you considering buying a power meter? Are you getting burn out from all the data oriented training your training have became since you started using the power meter? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this article is for you.. (more)

My coach also provides helpful nutritional advice and adapts my plans as and when my work demands result in increased stress levels. I decided to work with ironguides in 2009 after I registered for my first Ironman. Since I was returning to the sport, after a 20+-year absence, I believed that ironguides would structure a customized training program for me which would enable me achieve my lifetime goal of completing an Ironman, which I accomplished. My first race under ironguides was 2009 Ironman 70.3 Philippines with a first place finish in the 45-49 age group. ” – Bill Dobson, ironguides Athlete, CFO & father of 3

Off-Season Training Plan – Only $49/month

The Off Season Triathlon Training Subscription Plan suits all athletes who are looking for a reduced training volume while maintaining sport-specific skills in each sport. The plan is designed to provide recovery from the racing season with enough training to ensure you maintain hard-won motor skills, and flexibility that ensures you can easily opt out and enjoy other sports and activities in your post-season recovery. The program provides a light, balanced training mix using the structure and principles The Method to keep you feeling light and snappy until it’s time to pick up the training again.

“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”
Keegan Scott

This newlsetter will provide you all the information you need to know about the race in Kona, if you are a beginner triathlete, learn the blueprint to get there, if you are racing in Kona, learn more about the course. Meet and get inspired by our athletes racing in Kona this year and that have been on the podium in Kona in the past.

Enjoy the read,

ironguides team

Articles from the Coaches

 Coach Woody: Road to Kona: Picking the Right Course

We are at a point where registration for the new Ironman season is open and this is an important time for athletes looking at qualifying for Kona in the next season: not only does following the races provide a chance to see what sort of performance is required in your age group at the various events, the days – or even hours – immediately after can also be the only opportunity to enter them for the next year as registration comes online and sells out fast. (more)

 Coach Vinnie: Ironman Hawaii – Course review 

With Ironman Hawaii just around the corner, athletes are now onto their final and specific training block leading into the race. This article is an overview of the training strategy and key workouts we use to coach our athletes taking part in the race. (more)

 Coach Woody: Ironman Performance – Kona

Preparing for an Ironman event requires a great deal of training and preparation just to get to the finish line, for some of us though our goals go way beyond finishing and more so looking for performance and being competitive. (more)

 Coach Vinnie: Increase your chances for a Kona slot

Every year a few weeks ahead of Kona all triathletes start to get excited about the big show, wondering if one day they could be a part of the Ironman World Championships as a competitor themselves. Having done the race when I was a professional triathlete and having worked with many athletes who qualified for the race in the past few years, I have found there are some very clear rules on what it takes to qualify – apart from hard work.. (more)

 Coach Shem: Runner to Triathlete

As a runner armed with a decent level of fitness, you may be feeling curious (and confident) to see what these crazy triathletes are up to. After all, how hard can it be to dive into the sea for a little dip (750m), hop on a bike for a cruisey ride (20km) and finish up with little jog (5km)—just to say you’ve done a triathlon. (more)

Profiles: Featured ironguides athlete in Kona 2015 

If you are training for your first ironman, your only and main goal should be to complete the distance. Anything other than that is a bonus, no exception. To have any performance goals on your first race is a very risky strategy, since you will be focus on the outcome of the race instead on executing the important steps to do the best you can. However, once in a while some first timers can do extremely well in their first attempt, the story below is from Lyndsey Fraser, a Scottish national living in Bangkok and working full time as a teacher, who I coached to her first ironman in Taiwan 2015. Lyndsey won her age group (F25-29) by less than one minute and took her qualifying slot to the ironman world championships in Kona, Hawaii.  (more)

How to get on the Podium 2x in Kona – The story of an ironguides athlete 

Ironman Hawaii has been run and won. It was great to be on the ground supporting all ironguides athletes on race day. We had excellent results for all the 11 ironguides athletes who competed. When it comes to high performance, the 2nd place of Luiz Topan in the M45-49 age group, with a 9hr 17 finish, stands out. Here is what it takes to get to that level in terms of planning, training and executing it all on race day.  (more)

Special Offer: 20-Week Ironman Plans Advanced Level – Only 145USD

If you are a high performance amateur triathlete but you can’t afford hiring a coach, you have now the option to buy our advanced level training plans. Based on the same principles that have generated a Hawaii Ironman winner, multiple Olympic medallists, ITU Triathlon World Champions and World Cup winners, The Method ensures optimal training for each athlete, no matter your background. (more)

Testimonial:

“Twelve months ago I decided to do Ironman China with the aim of maybe qualifying for the World Championships in Kona. I purchased the ironguides 20-week Ironman program, and followed it reasonably closely for the 20 weeks leading up to the Ironman. Well, it worked!! I finished in 9:52 – the 2nd fastest age group time at the race – and I confirmed my spot at the World Championships in Hawaii. Woo hoo!!!” – David Bentley, ironguides Athlete, March 2010

Qualify to the World Championships with our Personalized Online Coaching packages 

Your ironguides Coach will help you decide on your plan of attack. This includes selecting a qualifier race with a course and timing that suits your strengths, schedule and other life circumstances. Your coach will develop a long-term strategic plan that is completely focused on successful qualification for the world championship of your choice. Your coach will further develop your strengths to maximize your chances of earning that ticket and define a specific race-day strategy tailored to you. (more)

Testimonial:

“After watching Ironman Hawaii World Championships in 2010 I decided that I’d really like to race there one day and that I should find a good coach who would help me to get there. I started working with ironguides in November 2010 with an objective to prepare me for Ironman UK as a qualifying race in July 2011. I gave it all and didn’t really know where I had finished: I was a bit puzzled by an email from my friend which I read on my phone at the finish line waiting for my wife Alicja saying, now start packing for Kona’. Only later when I asked for my finishing place and I was told I was 3rd, I realised that I had achieved in nine months what I though was a remote dream I might achieve in a few years but not in less than one season. This was not the end of the story: my wife finished 45 minutes later and she was also 3rd in her age group qualifying for Kona, under the same ironguides coach. We couldn’t believe it, we knew that ironguides’ approach really worked for us but it was a bit surreal that such a great improvement could be achieved in such a short period of time!” – Rafal Medak, ironguides Athlete, 2x Kona Qualifier

Articles from the Coaches

 Coach Woody: Stroke Rate – Cadence – Stride Frequency

One of the 5 systems we look to train when designing a program is called neuromuscular, this term simply means the link between brain and muscle. When we see a regular program we might expect to see sessions set to heart rate or effort levels and even power but the specifics of neuromuscular development are often left out, and with major consequence come race day.

(more)

 Coach Vinnie: Complete Guide – Improve your cycling for short and long races with indoor training 

In this article, we will explore the possibilities and benefits of indoor cycling training, which is a reality for many because of the convenience, security and lack of easily accessible locations in major cities for cycling workouts.. (more)

 Coach Shem: 10 Marathon Tips 

1. Taper – A well structured taper is essential to run a good one on race day. It gives your legs a chance to fully rest and “soak up” the many kilometres that have been put into them in training. It is NOT an excuse to do nothing and “Carbo- Load”- Please! There are many factors that will determine a good taper- training load, recent race history, recovery from injury, etc. As a rule of thumb, cut down on total weekly volume to 75%, 2 weeks out and then again to 50% in the 1 week leading up to race day. Retain some speed work and intensity to keep the specific neuro-muscular impulses firing – this will help maintain a high stride rate. (more)

Profiles: Bill Dobson – overweight to Ironman 70.3 Champion

Bill was a triathlete and marathoner on his teens and early 20`s, then switched his priority to his career in finances and with that you get the long working hours and unhealthy lifestyle habits. A few years after turning 40, Bill decided it was time for a change and has since then slowly changed his habits and lifestyle, although working as a CFO is never a relaxing job, Bill has managed to organize his schedule which allows him a 60-90min workout first thing in the morning on weekdays, and he does his long workouts on the weekends.

Articles from the Coaches

Coach Shem:   Free Speed Indeed: Drafting for a Quick Swim Split
You work hard in the pool 2 – 3 times a week. You buy all the latest swim toys, take stroke correction classes and analyse YouTube swim technique videos all for the sake of faster swim split. But many age groupers have not wised up to fact that drafting is the easiest way to an impressive swim split.  (more)
 

 Coach Woody: Swim Fit
Swimming is often overlooked in Ironman as it’s seen as a short warm up before the main event. But more often than not, it takes athletes a longer time to recover than they realize. (more)

Profiles:  Bevan and Vanessa Colless


Bevan and Vanessa Colless from Australia run a couple of physio clinics in Japan and have recently set up practice in Singapore. They also train and compete at the top of the age group ranks and are both heading to Kona this year. Both athletes are very focused and goal-oriented and have worked hard since taking up triathlon in 2005 to get to this point. (more)

“When I started in triathlons as a former swimmer and ice hiker, I found cycling and running very challenging and I wasn’t competitive at races, always leading out of the swim but losing several positions on the bike and run and finishing at the back of the pack. My fitness took a step forward once I started to work with ironguides back in 2006. Today I’m a very well balanced triathlete and I’ve won 6 Ironman & half Ironman races including 2 podiums at the World Championships in Kona. I thank the ironguides coach who has gotten me ready all these years.”

– Luiz Topan, from Beginner to 2x Podium at the Ironman World Championships

This is the ironguides training plan for you if you are wanting to improve your swim. The plan provides a higher focus on swimming, while maintaining a sufficient balance of cycle and run training to ensure you improve overall.

 Coach Woody: Speed: A Key Skill for Every Endurance Athlete

In endurance sports it seems almost set in stone that any program must start with building a base, aimed at spending all available training time logging slow easy miles to build aerobic fitness. This practice has even created a paranoia and fear of speed sessions and interval work.(more)

Profiles:  Leonardo Moreira

This article is about the training strategy that took ironguides athlete Leonardo Moreira to an age group win at Ironman Brazil 2011. It explains the strategies we used to win the M40-44 age group and finish in 9hr 03, a 19-minute PB for Leonardo. (more)

Intermediate Coaching: Fit Rookie

So you’re an athlete who is too fit to be considered a complete beginner from an aerobic standpoint. Your background is a single-discipline sport. You might be a cyclist, whether a roadie or a mountain biker, a rower or a runner who is intrigued by the idea of trying triathlon. You might be a swimmer and, if so, consider yourself lucky because that’s typically the discipline novice triathletes lack any experience in.
 (more)
 
"As a runner, the thought of doing a triathlon had something mythical to it. I had only recently learned to swim freestyle (when my son started swimming), and never taken up cycling as a sport. To get me there, I asked ironguides to coach me and got started on my journey, following my coach’s training plans and giving him weekly feedback, which kept me disciplined. I really got a kick from the variety in training and the gradual improvements and increase in confidence in the water and on the bike I experienced. Whatever “The Method” is, it works 🙂."
Rudolf Gildemeister, ironguides Athlete, runner turned triathlete

Monthly Subscriptions: Run Focus

The ironguides Run Focus Triathlon Training Subscription plan is designed to develop your triathlon run skills while maintaining or improving swim and bike performance, using the structure and principles The Method to maximize the quality of your training and recovery.
