Coached Athlete Review – Jonathan Chadwick

Review of my recent coaching plan from Mark Evans at Aspire 2 Tri.

Mark has been a great coach with many strong attributes all of which were positives with my aspirations and plans.

You can see he has a genuine passion for Triathlon that is easily identifiable and comes through with all interactions I have had with him over the last 3 years he has been coaching me.

The support Mark gives is consistent, measured and always valued. This can come from swim coach sessions, advice on the training plan provided or coming on rides and giving information on the bike route at Ironman Wales!

His knowledge, through his qualifications, participation in Triathlon, real life experiences and all other sporting milestones are continually evident and one of the many reasons my trust is strong in his abilities.

Positivity is a natural state with Mark and he transmits this with abundance. Mark gave me the confidence to stick to the plan, develop my technique’s, trust him and know that my goals are achievable!

You can download a plan, but you can’t get the feedback or the questions answered without Mark.

Return to outdoor activities

So from Monday 26 April, organised outdoor activities for up to 30 people can again take place (previously Monday 3 May). More info from Welsh Gov here

 

What this means for us and athletes is a return to group rides, while following the guidance of social distancing. 

We’ve uploaded some routes for riders to follow. Most rides originate from The Secret Beach Bar and Cafe on Swansea seafront, but you can pick them up along the route closest to you.
