Triathlon coaching

Reach your potential with our triathlon coaching package. Our team of triathlon coaches train triathlon as a sport rather than as three separate disciplines. The training includes the strength and conditioning training required to prevent injury and optimise performance. We understand how to balance training with home and work life. We have successfully coached athletes from their first triathlon right up to winning the European age group championships.

Run coaching

Lakes2tri have helped people improve their park run time, complete marathons, ultras, gruelling challenges, such as the Bob Graham and compete at the highest national levels. We have specialist coaches for road, trail or fell running.

Cycle coaching

Whether you want to take part in your first cycle sportive or compete in the world UCI masters, we can help you achieve your goals. We can help you gain fitness and performance in road, track, gravel, time trial or mountain bike cycling.

Our bike coaches are, or have been at the top world level and has also coached cyclists to world level.

Fantastic experience working with Neil. Vast amount of technical knowledge matched to the ability to work with you the individual, so you develop not just your performance but understanding of the sport and how to get the most from training. It helps that he’s a great bloke too! Highly recommended!!

As a newbie to triathlon I had no idea where to start for an Ironman-distance event. Neil reassured me, scheduled manageable yet progressive training sessions and coached me through my first triathlon (which, incidentally, I qualified for GB Age Group) and on then to smash through all targets I’d ever dared to dream of for my very first long distance triathlon. I would not have been able to do either of these without his advice and expertise and for this I will be eternally grateful; thank you.
