All of our training programs are delivered via Training Peaks software. Whatever the event or the distance you will get:
You will get:

  • fully structured and effective sessions in all disciplines
  • progressive overload and recovery periods to develop fitness, strength and speed
  • email support from a coach at thetrilife.com
  • a course – specific training program
  • a well-planned taper
  • reassurance that you are doing the right training at the right time
  • a comprehensive online training diary to track your progress
  • thetrilife.com coaches available for last minute advice and reassurance over race weekend

For our long distance event programs you may choose between a “6 sessions per week” or” 9 sessions per week” program. The “6 sessions per week” will be great for the first time long distance athlete or an athlete with limited time looking to make the most of their training. The “9 sessions per week” is aimed at athletes with more time available or for an athlete looking to make significant performance gains. If you are in any doubt about which program may be right for you, please contact askacoach@thetrilife.com.
