LIDDS TRAINING AND PERFORMANCE COACHING
"A progressive and time efficient training approach with specific, targeted plans, sessions, advice and motivation to set you on your path to a new PB!!"
What we provide.....
My coaching services will provide you with tailor-made, bespoke training sessions designed to suit your aims, ability and schedule. I cater for athletes' abilities and levels of competency. I will spend time getting to know you, the way you presently train, what motivates you, your strengths/weaknesses, weekly schedule, including your upcoming races, in order to understand you and your lifestyle fully.
Depending on the package that suits you, after the initial consultation via Zoom, I will provide regular feedback (Zoom/email/WhatsApp) on your training schedule, and amend as required, as well as providing advice on nutrition and race day tactics.
I can also offer stand alone training plans tailored to various races, including every triathlon distance from super sprint to Ironman, running 5kms to Marathon/Ultras and Cycle races and Sportives.
I provide run analysis to show how your foot lands, including any bio-mechanical misalignments with hips, knees, and upper body. We will also provide data on form power, your foot contact time, cadence and vertical oscillation. I will provide film footage and stills showing your run gait, giving you feedback and drills to iron out any inefficiencies and a Word/PDF document on your run analysis. This ensures you're running more efficiently, and stay injury free.
Online Training
I provide all our coached athletes with a very real triathlon coach. I will provide you with the flexible, customised support you need. I specialise in triathlon (all distances), cycling and run coaching, as well as other sports. I use the Training Peaks platform to provide you with a fully interactive training program.
Standalone Plans
Have you entered a Standard Distance, Sprint distance or Ironman triathlon and are unsure how to train for it? Have you entered a running Marathon, an Ultra, or cycling Sportive and unsure of where to go next?
Why not take the guesswork out of your training and gain the fitness and confidence required to have a successful race with one of our specific training plans.
Each standalone plan has been written and planned with precision using focused and specific training sessions to set you on the road to a new PB!
Run Analysis
Run analysis is a method for identifying biomechanical abnormalities in the run cycle, or in other words, a tool used to assess the way you run. Why is it beneficial? It can identify any running inefficiencies, which would therefore make your run uneconomical, slower, or worse, if not addressed it could also lead to potential injuries in the future.
I will provide a breakdown of your run by Word or PDF, including various drills to help correct technique
