1-1 Coaching Plans

I provide 1-1 individualised coaching plans or one-off sessions for triathlon events.

I am passionate about coaching and helping others to improve their triathlon skills. I have been involved in teaching and coaching for over 30 years; one of my first part-time job was as a swimming teacher. I believe that a consistent approach to training will produce the greatest benefits and will work with you to gain this whilst taking into account your personal, work and family situation.

I have completed triathlon and duathlon events from Go Tri Super Sprint up to iron distance and have had both successes and failures on my athlete journey.

Before my first triathlon, I attended an 'introduction to open water swimming' session ran by Heidi. Having sat in bed crying the night before at the prospect of swimming in a lake and being shy around new people, I was amazed at how at ease Heidi made me feel. Coming away from the session, I was confident and had loads of top tips to ensure I could repeat the experience on my own. Following on from this I was lucky enough to work with Heidi over a 3 month period. In this time she developed me as a triathlete, changing my mentality from having to do a swim then a bike then a run to viewing the event as a whole. We worked a lot on transitions as well as following a structured training plan to improve the disciplines both on their own and joined up. Heidi is super friendly, approachable and had my interests at the heart of everything we did together. If you are looking for a coach I would happily recommend Heidi!

As a relatively new swimmer I was somewhat nervous about my first dip into Open Water. Immediately Heidi put me at ease and made the whole experience thoroughly enjoyable. With a few simple drills she gave me confidence and allowed me to relax. Heidi gave me answers to all my questions. The other folk on the course were very friendly. Thoroughly recommend to anyone interested in Open Water swimming. Thanks

The children had a fantastic introduction to open water swimming with Heidi's open water confidence session. She put the children at ease, taught them vital basic skills and handled the poor weather conditions extremely professionally. They have benefitted hugely from just a 30 minute session. Thank you very much Heidi.

I’d like to say a huge thank you for taking Peter and John in the water today. They’ve benefitted greatly from it, and are now well set up to do their open water triathlons and swim with us when hopefully the weather will be a bit kinder. Thank you
Ann

Thanks for today - it was a great session and you were so good with the children. Thanks x
Sally

We both enjoyed the British Triathlon Learn to front crawl course you ran and learnt lots about the stroke. Do let us know when you are running any similar or open water FC courses in the future.

I would like to thank you for making K feel so welcome, she felt part of the team very quickly and enjoyed your fun approach to coaching which was lovely to watch.

Heidi was brilliant last night - friendly, put everyone at ease and provided engaging coaching. As a result, Jacob has the confidence to compete in an event and Rub y has tips to improve her performance. I'll definitely recommend these sessions to others.

1st Olympic tri and 1st open water swim tri for me today. Pretty pleased with myself as 6 months ago I could barely swim 3 lengths of the pool without getting knackered and couldn't complete a 400m lap of open water. Thanks to Heidi for pool sessions.
Wendy

Not strictly a triathlete but I have been following some of Heidi's running plans and have noticed significant improvement. Knocked 40 seconds off my 5k time in just 2-3 months.
