I’ve had a bunch of coaches in my time but I’ve never had a cycling or triathlon coach. So keep that in mind! Ha!
To me, TR provides just as much value as a coach when it comes to scheduling and structuring workouts. In many cases, more value I’m sure! But there are things a coach can do for you that TR can’t (yet) do.
Nutrition advice.
Equipment advice.
Mental prep.
Race day ritual.
I’m sure there are many other intangibles.
A coach who is really invested in your success can really make a difference when the chips are down. You’ll have to decide if you have that kind of coach or not.
