“I’m Oscar, member & Team RAW athlete since the start of summer 2020. After getting into Triathlon more seriously from 2019; getting amongst my first Triathlon at IM Weymouth 70.3 in 2019, I then wanted to not only improve as an athlete, but also widen my knowledge of both triathlon and training like an athlete.
I decided to reach out to Rich at RAW Fitness as a good friend of mine, Jake Pearson who I raced with through the military Nordic scene forwarded me his details and I couldn’t turn down the opportunity to work with someone of Rich’s calibre, his race history, experience within the sport & of course his knowledge on all things training and performance focused.
From the word go Rich welcomes me into Team RAW and I’ve loved being a part of it ever since. I’m currently now full-time with GBR Biathlon, racing on the circuit in Europe at the moment. Even with this going on and being a full-time athlete, I still see myself as a Team RAW athlete and also regard Rich as a good friend that I can rely on to discuss training, and all things triathlon as I see the triathlon & Team RAW as something I want to remain a part of for years to come.
I’ve absolutely loved working with Rich, and when I’ve been coached by him I’ve loved utilising what he offers as a coach – he’s efficient, straight to the point, and knows what he’s talking about. He’s always a phone call away which offers a huge amount of flexibility for the athlete which I found incredibly useful.
If there’s anything I’ve learnt from being a part of Team RAW & working with Rich, and something I’d pass onto to anyone thinking of working with Rich, is 100% do it and get amongst it. Working with someone like Rich who understands what the athlete wants & needs is a breath of fresh air.”
