My triathlon journey started in 2016 when I completed my first Olympic Distance – I was instantly hooked! When it came to training however, family life and a demanding job made consistent training somewhat difficult. I had a tendency to go about my training in completely the wrong way, I thought ‘no pain, no gain’ was the be all and end all! What in fact happened was the opposite, I was constantly fatigued, tired and was picking up injuries throughout the season.  

This is where Rich stepped in, after a consultation, some comprehensive testing and further analysis Rich set my training program. Early on, I was still hampered by lower leg niggles, Rich was fantastic in adapting the program and setting some bespoke sessions to aid in my rehab. I am now injury free and looking to compete in 2021 – feeling strong, with consistent training thanks to Rich and his attention to detail, monitoring my progress and adapting the program to my specific needs!
