Just wanted to share some fantastic news about one of my athletes – Simon is a full distance triathlete and has had his fair share of injuries on his journey to his most recent race at the weekend – Ironbourne Full Distance Triathlon. To say run training has been limited would be an overstatement; due to foot surgery and a recent groin/hip problem Simon has had to complete nearly all of his run training on an elliptical trainer in the gym (which has proved successful but could never be a proper replacement for actual running) but he still managed to complete a full marathon run at the end of his triathlon after smashing the 2.4 mile sea swim and 112 mile bike course in hilly Eastbourne. Simon had an amazing race where he stuck to his race plan and nailed his execution through swim, bike and run and it earnt him a 10hr 39min finish time, 3rd place overall and 1st in his age group. I am very proud to say I am his coach and yet again he has proved that hard work and consistent training pays off! Congratulations!
