As a triathlete with over 20 years experience, and having competed in over 80 World Cups. I was fortunate to have joined forces with Brendon in 2007. At the time I was struggling to continue at the top level of the sport. Through his input I was able to reignite my training and was able win the Oceania Triathlon Championships in 2008 and then secure a place on the New Zealand Olympic Triathlon Team.

Competing at the Olympic Games had been a goal since first taking up sport. I can highly recommend Brendon as a coach, his knowledge and dedication can help you to achieve your goals.

How are we different to the competition?

You don’t get some basic, part time triathlon coach with some sort of nutrition ‘certification’, you get a professional, full time tri coach and access to a professional nutritionist for advice.

Brendon’s years of experience mean that he know exactly which sessions work and how to best make of the time you have. If you are a business person, have family commitments, or want to compete and have a life too Brendon is the guy to talk to.

I have successfully completed in Ironman, Half Ironman, Age-Group Worlds (Long and Olympic), Xterra World Championships and many other events as a result of his coaching.

Last year after a major back injury he was able to help me go in only a matter of months from zero training to a 4 hour 30min Half Ironman and a Podium in my age group at Xterra Rotorua and qualification for the Xterra wold Championships, all while understanding and fitting my training around my family and work.

You might be concerned about using an international coach because of the distance however Brendon has customers all over the world. Rest assured that while this lets you get rare access to an international level coach, it will not take away from the relationship or quality of advice you receive.

I found Brendan’s advice to be beneficial although I never actually met with him in person! His guidance allowed me to focus on specific training in the last 6 weeks or so which allowed me to complete the event [The Taupo 2011 Ironman] comfortably in 11.26, half an hour ahead of my 12 hour goal….despite the crap conditions!

When we say things are personalised, we mean it. A personalised programme is more than just a body weight, gender or Vo2 Max calculation and it’s certainly not a downloadable PDF! Ever seen a PDF give a pep talk when your legs are burning?
