Ironman Coaching Built Around Your Physiology - Not Generic Training
Metabolic data-driven coaching designed for training with clarity, not guesswork.
Who This Programme Is For
This programme is for athletes training specifically for full-distance Ironman racing who want to remove guesswork from their preparation and execution.
It is best suited if you:
Are targeting a well-executed Ironman, not just a finish
Want confidence that your pacing and fueling strategy is sustainable over 180km+42km
Value physiology-led decision making over generic training zones
Are willing to test, measure, and adjust as fitness evolves
This is not short-course or general triathlon coaching.
Why Ironman Training Requires a Different Approach
Ironman is not limited by motivation or fitness alone.
Most athletes struggle because:
Training zones are estimated rather than physiologically verified
Fueling strategies are not matched to actual carbohydrate utilisation
Fatigue accumulates faster than durability improves
Race pacing is based on hope rather than evidence
Over an Ironman distance, small errors compound.
This programme exists to eliminate those errors before race day.
individual Physiological Assessment (Mandatory)
Every athlete begins with a detailed physiological assessment to establish accurate training and race intensities.
Depending on location and logistics, this is delivered via:
In-Person Testing:
Blood lactate testing (bike and run).
Used to establish Aerobic Capacity (VO2 max), Anaerobic Capacity (VLamax), Lactate Thresholds and Fat max.
Ideal for athletes local to our performance centre or able to travel.
Remote Performance Profiling:
Structured Performance Profiling (PPD) protocol completed remotely.
Uses maximal and sub-maximal efforts to model aerobic capacity, anaerobic contribution, and substrate use.
Suitable for athletes training internationally or without access to in-person testing.
Whether completed in-person or remotely, this testing forms the foundation of all training, pacing, and fueling decisions throughout the programme.
Turning Data Into Ironman-Specific Decisions
This is not just coaching.
It’s a decision-making system built around your physiology and your race demands.
The results of your testing are used to:
Define Ironman-specific training intensities
Identify physiological limiters relevant to long-duration racing
Establish sustainable Ironman bike power and run pace ranges
Inform fueling requirements in grams per hour
Training is then structured to:
Improve efficiency at Ironman intensity
Build durability without unnecessary fatigue
Prepare you to execute your race plan under fatigue
Every key session links directly to Ironman race execution.
Re-Testing and Race execution
The Proof. Physiology changes. Every 12-16 weeks, we Re-Test (Included).
Validate: We prove your engine has improved.
Execute: We use your data to calculate your exact Race Pace Wattage and Nutrition Strategy (Grams of Carbs/Hour). No guesswork.
A Physiology-Led Performance System - Not Just a Training Plan
THE METABOLIC Analysis (Month 1)
"We strip your performance down to the raw numbers to build your baseline."
Deep-Dive Strategy Call: Season planning, race selection, and lifestyle integration.
Full INSCYD Metabolic Profile (Bike): VLamax, VO2max, Carb Max, Fat Max.
Full INSCYD Metabolic Profile (Run): Economy, Threshold, and Efficiency.
The "Gap Analysis": We identify exactly what is stopping you from going faster (e.g., "High Glycolytic Rate") and build the roadmap to fix it.
Cost: £250 (one-off Audit)
Ongoing PERFORMANCE Coaching (on-going)
"Complete management of your training, racing, and physiology."
Integrated Metabolic Re-Testing: (Worth £600+/yr). We re-test your physiology to track progress.
Best Bike Split Modeling: Race pace and power targets tailored to your physiology,
Advanced Race Fueling Strategy: Exact grams/hr of carbohydrate based on your combustion rates.
Unlimited Adjustments: Life happens. We move the blocks so you don't have to stress.
Daily Data Analysis: We don't just look at "Green" or "Red" dots. We analyse your data to ensure optimised adaptation.
Unlimited Communication: Your coach is in your pocket.
£150 / month thereafter
Most Ironman/70.3 athletes spend far more on equipment and travel than they do on optimising the training decisions that determine race success.
