evidence informed approach
We work closely with coaching clients, analysing performance data from every session to provide prompt feedback and suggest adjustments to make the most out of every workout. We take the guess work out of training by embracing new technology like running power meters and cycle power profiling, along with FTP and heart rate data.
As experienced endurance athletes, we've adapted coaching methodologies from cycling, running and triathlon, cross-pollinating the disciplines to maximise training results. Beyond our coaching qualifications and personal training experiences, we continue to attend seminars, stay abreast of the latest research and participate in workshops to pass the latest knowledge on to the athletes we work with.

tailored training
Every individual and every race they compete in is different, so no two training programmes should be the same. From the person planning their first Ironman triathlon to the ultra marathon runner training for their next race or a regular cyclist looking to improve their performance, our coaching packages are tailored both to specific events and for each individual we work with. Whether it is run coaching for road running, trail running, mountain running, or ultramarathons, cycling coaching or triathlon coaching, the TMR team can help you achieve your goals.
We believe that training sessions should replicate the individual race course profile, making sure that anything from distance to endurance and elevation change is factored into your training programme.
