ironguides online Coaching Service

TriSpecific online coaching has joined forces with ironguides and is now known as ironguides Australia. As a coach I am continually researching, testing and applying what I have learnt to become a better coach and athlete while helping my athletes achieve things they (at first) didn’t think were possible in their sporting goals while also helping them live a healthier lifestyle. I had been following what Marc (ironguides) and TeamTBB for quite some time and happened to fall onto Marc’s triathlon secrets book. This all made sense to me and I had been following a lot of the principles already in my coaching. I knew there was an opportunity here to learn even more about The Method so by aligning my coaching philosophy with the principles of The Method my athletes will be able to improve faster and achieve a higher level of success in sport and their day to day lives.

The Method

Very fresh ideas! - Rowland, teamTBB forum [more] The Method is ironguides’ unique and effective Triathlon Training approach. The Method draws on our own experience and training approaches and combines these with the triathlon training principles and structures that teamTBB receive from their coach. The training is tailored to the specific needs of Age Group athletes, who generally face a much more challenging training environment that requires them to adapt training to “real life” demands of family, work and other commitments. “Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” - Antoine de Saint Exupéry. Many people ask us “what makes The Method so different?” Perhaps the best answer to that question is: It’s simple! Don’t mistake that for “simplistic”, however – The Method is a highly refined approach to triathlon training that has been developed over nearly two decades.
