Being a fast athlete doesn't automatically make someone a good coach either.\nI cover experience, qualifications, communication, personalisation, nutrition and race-day fuelling, coach capacity, athlete results and the questions you should be asking before spending your money.\nI also open up about a point in my own coaching career when I reached 45 athletes, started burning out and realised something had to change.\nIf you've got your first 70.3 or Ironman in your head for 2027, listen to this before choosing your coach.\nYou don't need the cheapest coach or the most expensive coach.\nYou need the coach you trust to get you from where you are today to that finish line.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/g5fBhoimBaq7y7RpsGAxF6xj2-utZ-MlQlfzco_Rk-0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iMzQ5/NmVjOWMxMDUwYzk3/NjMzNDA2ZTIwYzM1/ZGFiMy5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
