Find a Triathlon Coach in Yorkshire

Training for a triathlon in Yorkshire on your own can get hard and quickly get complicated. The area has tough terrain, steep climbs, and windy moorland roads, which are perfect places to train in. However, knowing which sessions to do, when to recover, and how to balance swim, bike, and run can be challenging. That’s where it pays to find a triathlon coach in the Yorkshire area who can help and make your training more effective and less stressful.

Tri-Revolution provides online triathlon coaching for athletes across the Yorkshire area, from Leeds, Sheffield, and Bradford to York, Wakefield, Harrogate, Ripon, Doncaster, and beyond. The coaching is delivered remotely through TrainingPeaks, but it’s built around where you actually train, what your week genuinely looks like, and whatever race or distance you’re working towards.

Why Choose Tri-Revolution

Tri-Revolution doesn’t operate with generic plans or off-the-shelf programmes. Every athlete is coached individually, with a real coach reviewing their data and adjusting their training throughout the season. The coaching team brings genuine depth across the sport. For example, Kieran Lindars is a Kona qualifier with experience preparing athletes across all distances, while Jake Butterworth holds a PhD in exercise physiology and competes as a GB age-grouper, which means the science behind each session is applied rather than theoretical.

Because the coaching is delivered entirely online, athletes across Yorkshire, from the city centres of Leeds, Sheffield, and Bradford to more rural areas of the Dales and North York Moors, have access to the same quality of coaching. You’re not limited by geography or by whoever happens to be running sessions at your local tri club. The coaching comes to you, tailored to your training environment and schedule.

The approach is data and feedback-led throughout. Sessions are set with clear targets, and the coach’s decisions are based on what your data actually shows. Athletes who have trained by feel for years often find this the most significant shift: not harder training, but smarter training, directed at the right things at the right times.

Who Is Tri-Revolution’s Coaching For?

Tri-Revolution works with athletes at different stages — what they share is wanting to train with purpose.

• First-time triathletes: If you’re approaching your first event, such as the Tad Tri in Tadcaster, a popular first race for many Yorkshire athletes with a manageable pool swim and a flat run alongside the Wharfe, structured coaching makes the build-up far less stressful. You’ll know what to do each week, how to pace your effort, and how to arrive at the start line properly prepared rather than overtrained.
• Athletes stepping up in distance: Moving from sprint to Olympic distance, or from Olympic to middle distance, is a bigger step than most athletes expect. The training volume increases, the demands on recovery change, and the pacing strategy across three disciplines becomes more complex. Events like the Ripon Triathlon Festival offer middle-distance racing in the heart of North Yorkshire, and athletes targeting those races benefit from a progressive plan that builds volume without breaking them down.
• Age-group athletes chasing performance: If you’ve been competing for a few seasons and feel like your results have plateaued, the issue is usually training quality, not quantity. Athletes targeting age group podiums at events like IRONMAN Leeds need periodised training, race-specific preparation, and consistent feedback — not just more hours. Coaching provides the structure that turns effort into results.
• Busy professionals balancing training with life: Many athletes in cities across Yorkshire are trying to train seriously while juggling demanding jobs and family commitments. Coaching doesn’t require more hours — it makes the hours you have more effective. A plan that accounts for your working week, adapts when a session gets missed, and prioritises the sessions that matter most is significantly more productive than a generic schedule that assumes you have unlimited resources of time.

How to Get Started

Getting started is easy. Simply fill in an enquiry form with a few details about your background and what you’re training for. One of the team members will be in touch to arrange an initial call, during which we will learn more about your goals, schedule, and the kind of coaching relationship that suits you best.

From there, you’ll be matched with a coach whose experience and approach fit your situation. Once you’re onboarded, your first sessions are in TrainingPeaks within a few days, and your coach is in contact from week one. There’s no trial period with a generic plan — you’re coached from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to live in a certain part of Yorkshire to work with Tri-Revolution?

No, you don’t. Since all coaching is done online through TrainingPeaks, your location in Yorkshire doesn’t matter. Athletes from Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford, York, Wakefield, Harrogate, Ripon, Doncaster, and nearby areas all work with us the same way. Your plan is based on where you train, not where you live.

I’ve never worked with a triathlon coach before. Where do I start?

Begin by filling out the enquiry form on our website. You’ll have a first chat with one of our team members, with no commitment needed. We’ll learn about your background, your goals, and how much time you have to train. After that, we’ll match you with a coach, and your first sessions will appear in TrainingPeaks within a few days.

How does online coaching actually work?

Your coach creates your training plan and adds each session to TrainingPeaks with all the details, including targets, purpose, and specific guidance. You access everything through the app and can sync it with your watch or device. After each session, your coach sees your results—pace, power, heart rate, and how closely you followed the plan, and uses that information to adjust your training as you go. Feedback is ongoing, not just once a month.

I can only train a few times a week because of work. Is coaching still worth it?

Yes, and this is often where coaching helps the most. A plan with three or four well-structured sessions each week, balanced across swim, bike, and run, will get you better results than seven unplanned sessions. Your coach works with your real schedule, understands when life gets busy, and makes sure the sessions you do are the most important ones.

I’ve been racing for a couple of years but feel like I’m not improving anymore. Can you help?

Yes, this is something we see often. Athletes who have coached themselves for a few seasons usually hit a plateau, not because they aren’t working hard, but because their training quality and structure stop progressing. A coach will find out what’s holding you back, like swim technique, bike pacing, run endurance, or recovery, and create a plan that targets those areas instead of just adding more training.

What experience do the Tri-Revolution coaches have?

Our coaching team has real depth in the sport. Kieran Lindars is a Kona qualifier and has helped athletes at all distances. Jake Butterworth has a PhD in exercise physiology and races as a GB age-grouper, so your training is based on both science and real racing experience. Every athlete gets individual coaching. There are no generic programs.
