When lock down came into effect for most people on March 23rd, I decided to use this time effectively and look at staying fit and healthy while working from home. At the time we didn’t know how long the lock down would last and I wanted to focus on a goal, so decided on following a 12-week training plan from the WATTbike hub.

Coached athlete review
Just a quick review of my recent coaching plan from Mark Evans at Aspire 2 Tri.
MICHAEL STURGESS, Ironman Wales Finisher 2019
I sat down with Mark with only 17 weeks to go before ironman Wales with a goal in mind of literally just completing the event. Mark laid out a 16 week plan which personally I found outstanding.
Every detail was covered and nothing was too complicated or difficult to achieve. As soon as I sat down and had a chat with Mark I knew he was the right person to take on the challenge of getting me over the line.
We had a few hiccups on the way with my knee deciding to pack up but the plan and sessions were adjusted to meet my new requirements. Nothing was a problem here for Mark due to his knowledge in the sport.
Communication was excellent from Mark and he always gave me sound advice and put my mind at rest with any worries or concerns I had along the way.
I am proud to say I achieved my goal of completing ironman Wales and if it wasn’t for my training plan and coach I don’t think this would have been possible.
So if anyone is considering using Aspire 2 Tri for whatever event they have in mind then don’t hesitate because you won’t be disappointed.
