Ironman Coaches Emphasizing the Essentials

The old athletic adage is to stick to the basics. Although it sounds dry and dull, it couldn’t be any more accurate. One of the most common things holding athletes from reaching their full potential is picking up bad habits in form and technique.

By constantly focusing on form and technique, your athletic performance will naturally become more efficient, and you’ll become faster while increasing endurance. Any athlete will tell you that efficiency is essential if your goal is to compete – and we are the team to get you to that level.

Why You Need an Ironman Coach for Your Training

When you sign on for an Ironman, you’ll be plunged into a rigorous training program for three separate disciplines. This can be an overwhelming process, even for the most experienced athlete. Whether a beginner or a hardened athlete, you need a guide to take you through the training process.

A good Ironman coach helps you plan personalized workout programs tailored to your needs, experience level, and availability. However, training for this arduous endeavor involves not only the intense physical conditioning of your body but also the bolstering of your mentality and self-confidence. A good coach can make a world of difference to your support system and help you overcome any obstacle on your journey to becoming an Ironman.

Ironman Coaches Who Provide Motivation and Boost Confidence

Aside from providing you with physical support, another aspect of great coaching is delivering the motivation to get you where you need to go. While the body can go through training and perform to an extent, there will come a mental block that stops your body from going any further. A great coach specializes in helping you break through this obstacle and keep going.

Breakthrough Performance Coaching is renowned for helping athletes and Ironman participants push forward to surpass their physical and mental uncertainties. We are the perfect mentor to get you through your training and reach your physical goals.

Breakthrough Performance Coaching Works with All Experience Levels

If you’re inexperienced and uninitiated to the world of an Ironman, you probably don’t need us to convince you that you need a coach for your Ironman training—you’re aware of the guidance it will take to accomplish this feat.

With years to decades of experience behind them, Breakthrough Performance Coaching’s coaches know the ins and outs of the triathlon like the back of their hand. They’ve worked with individuals of every experience level to guide them through the right training steps, ensuring they are mentally and physically conditioned for extreme racing standards.

Training that Benefits Experienced Ironman Competitors

If you’re a veteran and have already participated in several Ironman events, you may think you’re set to do the training this year on your own. But we’ve found that triathletes with more years of experience in the sport are even more likely to consult a coach! You may know how to develop a training schedule for yourself, but there are still a host of decisions that require a level of objectivity that only a coach can provide.

Breakthrough Performance Coaching plans customized training programs and serves as a fatigue manager to people with every experience level. With our coaches removed from the emotional attachment of training and races, they can supply challenging workout routines and rest days without bias.

We’ve worked with triathletes to provide a robust sounding board for their emotionally significant moments and an expert opinion on training and race choices. We take on the time-consuming work of putting together a training schedule for you so that you can attend to your non-training priorities and family commitments.

One-on-one Performance Analysis and Adjustment

Our athlete-centric coaching strategy is simple. First, we focus on your improvement by analyzing your performance with the latest computerized technology so you can adjust accordingly and improve your performance in all three Ironman racing disciplines. The more attention paid to you individually, the more your progress is tracked and the easier and faster we can help you improve.

Throughout our coaching, you will master your technique and be able to watch yourself get better. We can help athletes of all levels and would be glad to add you to the list of successful athletes who have gone through our personalized training program.

Please contact our team today to get started. We are always eager to take on new athletes.

Keeping Up with the Latest Training Literature

Athletic research is a large part of how we develop. When our coaching techniques and knowledge improve, we can help you more readily enhance as an athlete. Whenever we aren’t training, we are reading up on the latest academic literature on exercise science and nutrition to ensure we are staying up to date with the science and staying up to the level of maximum performance we are committed to.

Compassionate Ironman Coaches

Some personal training coaches can have a negative reputation, especially for newcomers to the world of Ironman competitions. Coaches can be too hard on their clients, pushing them harder than is safe or expected. At Breakthrough Performance Coaching, we believe there’s always room for improvement and growth, but we always aim to achieve our goals with you in a way that makes sense.

Our priority is to provide you the opportunity to reach your potential without becoming run-down or burnt-out. We work with you to set goals and develop a plan to achieve these goals.

Half Ironman Coaching Expertise

Not all clients are looking to go for a full Ironman, but that doesn’t mean we can’t help everyone reach their own specific goals. At Breakthrough Performance Coaching, we have the training experience to optimize your body and fitness for all kinds of challenges.

In addition to full triathlon coaching, we also provide comprehensive half Ironman coaching. There is no distance too great or too small to be prepared for when conquering your personal best. Speak to us about fitting a plan to crush your goals into your schedule.

Don’t Forget About Off-Season Ironman Plans

Fitness never takes time off, so if your goal is to compete as an Ironman, you should never take your foot off the gas. The worst thing you can do is lose your fitness gains during the off-season and leave yourself poorly prepared for the following year. The best Ironman competitors know that the more they train when they aren’t racing, the better their results will be.

As you may have guessed, people who finish triathlons successfully don’t take really have an “off” season. When you want to make the most out of your downtime, we’re here for you with well-thought-out off-season Ironman plans that make the most sense for you.

We offer premium coaching plans for all sorts of clients throughout the year. We don’t have any downtime in our schedule so that you can reach your fitness goals at all times of the year. With us, you can benefit from our services throughout the year. Contact our team at (617) 308-0586 to learn more about our year-round training options.
