Coaching FAQs
What's the difference between the coaching tiers?
Foundation and Foundation Plus are delivered by our senior coaching team, ideal for athletes who want expert, structured coaching without needing Kevin's direct involvement. Core and Integrated Performance are coached directly by Kevin, and include physiological testing as standard.
What is INSCYD testing, and why does it matter?
INSCYD is a metabolic profiling protocol that measures your VO2 max, VLamax, aerobic capacity and lactate threshold from a short testing session. It tells us exactly how your body produces and uses energy, so your training zones and plan are built from your physiology - not an age-based formula or generic chart.
What happens during quarterly retesting on Integrated Performance Coaching?
Every 12 weeks, you repeat your bike and run INSCYD testing plus swim propulsion analysis. We compare the new data against your baseline, see exactly what's changed, and rebuild your next training block around it - rather than assuming last quarter's zones are still correct.
Can I move between tiers?
Yes. Many athletes start on Foundation or Foundation Plus and move up as their goals, budget or training time change. If you're on Core Coaching and want quarterly retesting and Kevin's full strategic involvement, Integrated Performance is the natural next step - subject to capacity.
Do I need a test before I start coaching?
No - Foundation coaching doesn't require any testing. Foundation Plus, Core and Integrated Performance all include baseline testing as part of the package, so it's built in rather than an extra step you need to arrange separately.
I'm not sure which tier is right for me - what should I do?
Book a no-obligation coaching consultation. We'll talk through your goals, training history and available time, and recommend the tier that actually fits - not just the most expensive one.
How much does triathlon coaching cost?
Total Endurance triathlon coaching starts at £99/month for Foundation coaching, rising to £350/month for Kevin's Integrated Performance Coaching with quarterly INSCYD testing. See the tier options above for the price point that fits your goals.
Do you offer triathlon coaching near me if i'm not local to Aberdeen
Yes - Total Endurance is based in Aberdeen, and coaches athletes both in person and remotely across Aberdeenshire, Scotland and the rest of the UK.
