What’s Included in Full Service Triathlon Coaching

• Consultation
  We will get to know each new athlete through an initial athlete questionnaire, email exchanges, and an initial phone conversation.

• Season Planning & Daily Workout Scheduling
  We will develop a detailed plan that outlines time, volume, and intensity benchmarks for each day / week in a cycle. Our season plan will be shared with an athlete and will provide the athlete with information on how we intend to build fitness throughout the season.

• Heart Rate Testing
  We constantly monitor each athlete’s heart rate data during training and racing. Initially, we set specific training zones based on heart rate testing, and then we update those zones as necessary throughout the season.

• Detailed Fueling Plans
  These plans are specific to the athlete’s sweat rate and caloric needs for all race distances. After executing a “sweat test”, we analyze the results to determine accurate hydration needs. The fueling plans include specific instructions for exactly what to eat and drink on race day.

• Detailed Pacing Plans
  We give specific pacing instructions for every race on an athlete’s schedule. All pacing plans are detailed and are based off heart rate, pace, and power (if applicable). We leave nothing to change on race day!

• Unlimited Communication & Rescheduling
  There are no restrictions placed on the amount or type of communication that an athlete may have with his/her coach. Training scheduled will be changed at any time at the athlete’s request.

• Training & Racing Feedback
  Feedback is given on any training session where instruction / encouragement is warranted or when the athlete asks a question. Each race is analyzed by the coach. Feedback typically comes in the form of an email response, a voice recording, or a phone conversation.

• Video Analysis
  An athlete may send a video or may set up an appointment to have video taken by a coach for analysis in any of the three disciplines. Swim video analysis occurs the most frequently.

• Instructional Videos & Training Documents
  We give all our athletes access to our library of training / racing / nutrition documents and also a variety of instructional videos covering swim drills / technique, run mechanics, strength movements, and more.

• Discounts from Triathlon Companies
  Each athlete will receive discounts to a long list of triathlon specific companies. These discounts range from 15% to 60% and cover just about everything you may need to compete.

• Website Access & Online Billing
  All athletes are given a profile on ajbcoaching.com where they can share pictures, race schedules and results. We also utilize automatic billing through the website. Coaching payments can be set to recur ever 1 week, 2 weeks, or 4 weeks.
