At the end of 2013 I had just completed my first long distance race and had spent 2 years building up through the various distances. I had got the bug but found that I was bouncing around trying to fit training in with a busy shift job and family life. I contacted Simon after previously meeting him on a training camp earlier that year. We sat down and discussed what I wanted to achieve and realistically how much training I could regularly and consistently complete. From this point I started a structured training program that has included all sessions outlined with good detail. I have a weekly call in which we discuss issues with training and move sessions around if necessary.

The results from this training plan for me have been spectacular. I have moved forward in every discipline and been able to race in the Ironman World Championships in Kona in the four years I have been with Simon. This was achieved through the focus on training needs and consistency rather than masses of volume.

Simon Ward has been with me as my coach since I trained for my first half-Ironman distance race in 2004. We have done many races including 2 x 70.3 World Championship Ironman. As an age group athlete with 3 children growing up through this period and a busy career for both myself and my wife, Simon has always tailored training to what I could actually do, not what the text book says I should be doing. This is precisely why I have been able to keep going at this sport and now count it as part of my lifestyle. What I particularly like is that he is well informed on all the latest research, not just for our sport, but for the wider fitness of our whole lifestyle, from diet, to sleeping patterns, to proper rest & recovery and all round injury prevention.
