ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A TRIATHLON COACHING PROGRAM?
Whether you’re focusing on Sprint, Olympic, Long Course or Ultra Marathon distances we’ve got you covered. Integrating one sport around the demands of daily life is complex enough, so when it’s three sports it is incredibly important that your training is specific, effective and sustainable if you want to prevent overwhelm and reduce the risk of overtraining and injury.
Our multi-disciplinary team at SFE team are here to provide you with the highest standard of coaching by considering every variable. From integrating training into and around your lifestyle, ensuring your strength and conditioning, nutrition and recovery strategies are on point, to providing the support and accountability needed to optimise both your health and performance.
“OVERTRAINING IS PREVALENT WITHIN ENDURANCE SPORT. WE’RE HERE TO CHANGE THE NARRATIVE.”
With our team of endurance training specialists in your corner your journey, whether it be club level racing, Age Group champion or Ironman World Championships, will not only see you become a stronger, faster and more resilient athlete, but also one who has the knowledge and tools to thrive in all aspects of your health and performance.
Tailored to your specific goals and working around your lifestyle demands, your comprehensive Triathlon Training Plan will deliver the whole package.
“As industry leaders in Strength & Conditioning for endurance performance, we integrate strength training seamlessly into your triathlon program”
Our non-negotiable respect and understanding of strength and conditioning, injury rehabilitation and injury prevention ensures that the weaknesses we’re addressing are translating directly across into your swim, bike and run performance. Whether we’re supporting you through a race build, navigating a race taper or maintaining strength during the race season we want to ensure you’re able to train consistently and most importantly do so pain free.
The belief that you can build enough strength, speed or prevent injuries by just doing your run, bike and swim sessions alone is archaic and completely illogical. By first assessing your mobility, strength and power, looking at your past injury history and training experience and considering your work/life commitments it allows the team to build out a truly unique program that will have you far exceeding your initial expectations.
“With our in-house physiotherapy team we have the expertise to address your injury concerns right away”
At SFE we are not your average ‘Sunday night' coach juggling a stable of athletes alongside a full time job and their own training, nor are we an algorithm based app formulating your sessions. We are proud to be a team of multi-disciplinary experts from Coaches to Physiotherapists and Health Professionals, passionate about helping you get the most out of your health and performance, and the ability to communicate and support you on a daily, weekly, monthly basis.
what to expect
Initial Consultation Call
Our first step will be a virtual consultation call, which will give us the opportunity to find out more about you and for us to show you how we work. We’ll discuss your training history, establish what goals you’re working towards and any previous injuries or health concerns. Once on program we’ll set you up on our training platforms and start integrating your new program into your lifestyle.
Personalised Triathlon Program
Alongside being set up on our training platform, we will provide you with an overview of your annual plan, highlighting your key races and events and giving you clarity on your triathlon training timeline. At this time we will be evaluating your HR and pacing zones to ensure that we have a full understanding of your starting point and can program your sessions accordingly.
Individualised S&C Program
Your strength and conditioning program will provide you with the foundations you need for your ongoing triathlon performance. We will be providing you with an individualised S&C program that will integrate alongside your swim, bike and run sessions to build the strength, stability, power, speed and endurance you’ve always been looking for. Furthermore it will provide you will the injury resiliency that many programs cannot guarantee.
Baseline Movement Analysis & Strength Testing
Exploring your key strengths and weaknesses as part of our onboarding process is fundamental to the SFE program as we want to ensure we are tailoring our programming your individual needs and training goals. We will be reviewing your levels of joint mobility, bodyweight strength and maximal strength, all dependant on your levels of training experience.
Physiotherapy Support
Injury management is an essential component of any coaching program. At SFE our Physiotherapy department play a strong role in overseeing our coaching to address any injury concerns and ensure the prevention of overtraining and future injury. This level of support is absolutely fundamental to your longterm training consistency.
Run Gait Analysis
This is far more comprehensive than your standard ‘ shoe shop analysis’. We are looking to identify key behaviours that occur when you are placed under intensity and fatigue, and will be used to develop your overall triathlon and S&C programming.
Nutritional Evaluation
From the start we want to have a clear understanding of your nutritional requirements especially as we progress you training towards your performance goals. Optimal energy availability is a critical element for any athlete and something we want to be monitoring on a regular basis to prevent overtraining.
Blood and Hormonal Testing
We work closely with trusted health professionals to facilitate the analysis of your blood markers and hormonal status. We need to ensure that your body is healthy enough to meet the demands of the training programming that we will be asking of it.
Daily Accountability, Coach Support and Feedback
Our results are based upon coach and client interaction. The program that you will be following will continuously evolve as a result of numerous life, work and training factors. We provide daily and weekly feedback and accountability across multiple platforms to ensure that you feel supported and receive the highest standard of service possible.

FOUND WHAT YOUR LOOKING FOR?
HOW DO WE GET THE RESULTS WE DO?
There is a common trait amongst the individuals that we work with, and that is an ‘absolute love of what they do’.
They have a passion for swimming, riding and running, a thirst for adventure and a desire to keep doing what they love for many years to come.
This is why we place client education high on our priority list. Our aim is to give you the tools to arm you with the knowledge, intuition and logic that you can apply to your training and the power to look past inadequate/ faddy advice that would potential sidetrack, overtrain and injure others around you.
The combination of using our professional knowledge and bringing the expertise of others into the SFE community allows us to deliver a wealth of content to our clients. Regular topics of conversation we cover include injury management, race fuelling and hydration, performance psychology, bloodwork and hormones to name a few.
