  • Frederick’s coaching is worth the money because it delivers personalised, performance-focused guidance that gets results — efficiently and sustainably.

    Why it’s a sound investment

    • Truly personalised plans
      Frederick builds training programmes around your life, job, family and current fitness, not a one-size-fits-all template. That means every session has purpose and fits into your schedule, so you improve without unnecessary stress or burnout.

    • Expertise from a professional athlete
      As a current professional triathlete, Frederick brings first-hand race experience, up-to-date training methods and practical race-day know-how. You benefit from techniques that have been tested at the sharp end of the sport.

    • Clear, measurable progress
      Training isn’t guesswork. Frederick uses data, structured sessions and regular reviews to measure improvement and adjust plans. You’ll see progress in times, power, pacing and perceived effort, not just in how you feel.

    • Flexible, unlimited communication
      You get fast, direct access via WhatsApp, voice notes or phone — no waiting for weekly emails. That responsiveness means problems get fixed quickly, sessions are adjusted in real time, and motivation stays high.

    • Holistic support — more than workouts
      Frederick covers race strategy, nutrition basics, recovery, sleep and mental preparation. That full-picture approach reduces injury risk and maximises the gains from every hour you train.

    • Time-efficient coaching for busy lives
      Because plans are tailored, you get the most benefit from the time you actually have. Less wasted training, more targeted sessions that move you toward your goals faster.

    • Honest, supportive coaching style
      Frederick balances direct, evidence-based feedback with encouragement. He tells you what you need to hear to improve, while supporting you through setbacks so you stay consistent.

    • Better long-term value
      Getting guidance that prevents injury, optimises training and improves race outcomes saves money in the long run — fewer wasted months, fewer wasted entries, and better returns on the effort you invest.

    Who benefits most

    • Ambitious age-groupers aiming for specific race goals (PBs, Ironman, qualifying slots).

    • Busy athletes needing realistic, high-return plans.

    • Triathletes stepping up to longer distances or targeting race execution improvements.

    Summary If you want coaching that’s tailored, practical and backed by current pro-level experience — with communication that keeps you accountable and moving forward — Frederick’s coaching offers clear value. It’s an investment in efficient improvement, reduced risk and better race performances.

  • Of Course, I am aware of the changing market. More people want more experiences in life and this is no different in endurance sports.

    I offer plans for running + cycling/ other multi or single sport options.

    Get in contact and ask!

  • Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form or schedule a call—we’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.

  • Frederick’s approach outperforms other online coaching packages because it combines professional athlete experience with genuinely personalised, flexible coaching — not one-size-fits-all templates — so every plan is built around your goals, schedule and life demands; communication is unlimited and practical (WhatsApp, voice notes or calls) so adjustments are immediate and sincere, feedback is specific and technically informed from a professional triathlete who knows what works in real racing and training, and the coaching focuses on sustainable progress, injury prevention and race-day execution rather than short-term metrics or trendy gadgets.

  • No, I don't require an initiation fee at all, just your first month of subscription payment.

  • This is completely down to you. We start by talking to you and understanding your weekly availability to train. We aim to integrate your plan into your day to day lifestyle to have a good balance in order for you to enjoy your training and allow you to have more headspace and time to do the things you enjoy whilst still achieving your goals within triathlon.

  • No. Although I could easily make a cheaper set plan or a package with reduced services this does not align with our ethos (the 12 week plan option)

    Without the ability to constantly check in with our athletes, the training we provide is completely fluid and allows us to navigate the ups and downs of life with ease, avoiding injuries etc.

    Everyones life is unique with work/life commitments. We cater personally to this and create a plan that works best for you.

  • If you have scheduling conflicts, please put in your availability on Training peaks and we can account for it in the plan - the further in advance the better.

    You will have a premium account which enables you to move sessions around. Feel free to move sessions to suit your week, following the rules in the information above.

    If you have extra sessions and they aren’t labelled, please comment or title them appropriately title and / or comment what they are.

    Please comment on your sessions if there is anything to report on: how it felt, hard, easy, tired etc. It helps us build a better picture.

    • Make sure you change the auto lap from miles / per KM to manual

    • have / link a HR monitor - essential to monitor intensity

    • Link to Training peaks so that sessions can be displayed on watch

  • Yes! It doesn't matter if you have never done any endurance ever, or you're looking to qualify for a world championship. I have been at both ends of the spectrum and can help whatever your situation.

  • Not at all. Whatever the magazines tell you, you don't need a power meter/fancy bike to start!
    HR is a really good measure to start with, watch or chest/arm strap.

    All of these tools can be very useful but only in certain situations and they're definitely not a must.

  • There is no black and white answer here but it truly is a case of the longer the better. Endurance performance is about patience and consistency over a long time.

  • Balanced, individual, and performance-focused. Frederick’s approach blends the insight of a professional triathlete with practical coaching methods to create plans that fit your life, not the other way round.

    Core principles

    • Individualisation

      • Every athlete is different. Plans are tailored to your goals, physiology, schedule, strengths and weaknesses. No one-size-fits-all templates — workouts, load progression and race preparation are customised.

    • Life-first coaching

      • Training must fit around work, family and recovery. Sessions are designed to be effective within the reality of your day-to-day life so you can make consistent progress without burnout.

    • Communication and accessibility

      • Open, timely communication is central. Frederick uses WhatsApp, voice notes and phone calls as needed to answer questions, adapt sessions and provide encouragement. Clear feedback loops ensure plans evolve with you.

    • Evidence-led, athlete-centred

      • Training is grounded in proven coaching principles — periodisation, progressive overload, recovery and specificity — while always being adjusted to the athlete’s responses and feedback. Data (power, heart rate, pace) informs decisions but never replaces how you feel.

    • Practicality and simplicity

      • Complexity is avoided when unnecessary. Workouts are structured with clear purpose and measurable targets so you know exactly why you’re doing each session and what success looks like.

    • Long-term development

      • Short-term results matter, but building durable fitness and race-ready resilience is the priority. Plans focus on steady, sustainable progress and injury prevention rather than quick fixes.

    • Mental resilience and confidence

      • Coaching includes race strategy, pacing, nutrition basics and mental preparation. Frederick helps athletes build confidence through achievable targets, rehearsal of race scenarios and positive reinforcement.

    • Honesty and support

      • Expect frank, constructive feedback delivered in a supportive way. Frederick will push you when needed but also recognise when to pull back to protect long-term progress.
