Tricoachnz
is as diverse as the athletes I train. I work with individuals
of all levels, from newcomers to world-class athletes.
Tricoachnz remain on the leading edge of physiology,
sports medicine, nutrition and biomechanics with continuing
education and support from highly qualified advisors.
That means you’ll receive the smartest, most precise
coaching possible.
The goal of coaching is to develop
the ‘best you can be on race day’ Triathlete,
a person who has the fitness, physical skill, knowledge,
focus and confidence to accomplish his or her goals.
I focus on the aerobic system, as it is the primary
determinant of endurance athletic performance. The aerobic
system is the most efficient energy system in the body,
and it produces the fewest negative by-products. A highly
developed aerobic system can tolerate an enormous load,
allowing an athlete to do more work before calling on
additional, more fatiguing systems for energy. The end
result is greater sustained power and less overall fatigue.
This new approach to training works
so well because it reduces the total stress on the athlete.
Old methods were too hard, too frustrating, and too
demoralizing. Efficiently training your aerobic system
takes precision, but is far less taxing on the mind
and body than the old way. When you lower the intensity
a bit, moods lift, confidence grows and athletes start
reaping huge rewards.
The best part about this method is
that it applies to athletes of all abilities in any
endurance sport because the aerobic system is easily
accessible and responds quickly to training. Tricoachnz
prescribe the same workouts to elite athletes, age-group
athletes with family responsibilities and 60 hour-a-week
jobs. The workouts vary in length, but the goals and
the relative intensities are the same. |
