Training for a triathlon takes more than just logging hours in the pool, on the bike, and on the road. It’s about knowing what to do, when to do it, and how to adapt when life or fatigue gets in the way. That’s where coaching makes a difference. Our coaching approach is driven by focus and passion, ensuring every athlete receives dedicated support and motivation. If you’re based in Hampshire and looking for a triathlon coach, you’re in the right place.
At Tri-Revolution, we work with people who want to train with purpose. Our clients come from diverse backgrounds and experience levels, each with unique goals and needs. Whether you’re aiming to complete your first sprint triathlon or chasing a new personal best at Ironman distance, we help you build a plan that fits your goals and your life. We support athletes at every stage of their triathlon journey, from beginners to seasoned competitors. No fluff. No guesswork.
Who We Coach
Most of our athletes have full-time jobs, families, and busy schedules. Some are new to the sport. Others have been racing for years. We work with athletes of all abilities and age group categories, ensuring our coaching is inclusive and tailored to each individual’s needs. What they all have in common is a desire to train better, not just harder.
We offer coaching for:
- Beginners needing support and guidance with their first triathlon, including advice on beginner gear and training
- Age-groupers aiming to qualify for national or international events
- Long-distance athletes preparing for 70.3 and full Ironman races
- Duathletes and bike racers, with specific training for duathlon events
- Runners and cyclists looking to move into triathlon
We don’t use templates. Every plan is written from scratch and updated weekly based on your feedback and progress, with many athletes experiencing significant benefits from being coached through our program.
What You Can Expect
- Weekly training plans built around your routine
- Strength and conditioning support
- Advice on gear, race prep, pacing, and nutrition
- Unlimited messaging and regular check-ins
- Honest feedback and real accountability
- A structured process designed to help you with achieving your goals, whether that’s completing a race or reaching a new milestone
- A strong relationship between coach and athlete for personalized support and motivation
- Opportunities to learn new techniques and strategies to improve your training
- Personal training and one-on-one coaching tailored to your needs
- Focus on improving performance, endurance, speed, and overall fitness
- Guidance on refining form and maintaining control in swim, bike, and run disciplines
- Support for reducing the risk of injury and injuries through proper technique and training
You don’t need a power metre, smart trainer, or years of experience to start. You just need a goal and the willingness to show up. We’ll help you achieve and complete your goals, whatever they may be. We’ll help with the rest.
Why It Works
There’s no shortage of free plans online. But those plans don’t know when you’ve had a long day at work, or when your kids are off school, or when a local race pops up and you want to jump in. Our focused and professional approach ensures your training is tailored to your unique needs and goals.
Good coaching isn’t about adding more hours. It’s about using the hours you have in the smartest way possible. Our coaching team has expanded to include more coaches with diverse expertise, allowing us to offer specialised support across all levels. With our triathlon coaching, you benefit from a holistic, multi-discipline approach designed to help you reach your full potential.
Based in Hampshire, Coaching Online
Tri-Revolution have coached athletes across the UK as part of the Ride Revolution network. Everything is online, so there’s no need for face-to-face sessions. We use tools like TrainingPeaks, WhatsApp, and Zoom to keep communication easy and planning clear. You can contact our head coach directly for any questions or support.
Still, there’s something helpful about knowing your coach understands the difference between a flat recovery ride on the Meon Valley Trail and a threshold climb up Old Winchester Hill. That local knowledge makes a difference.

— Ben H., Basingstoke
“The structure, the feedback, and the flexibility – this is the first time I’ve had a plan that works around my life instead of fighting against it. The coaching helped me prepare for my first race with confidence.”

How our Triathlon Coaching works
Initial Consultation
Following your initial enquiry with us, Head Coach, Jake Hales, will contact you and arrange a phone appointment. It’s important for us to get a good understanding of your current situation, your goals, style and also your general history. Jake will then recommend the best Tri Revolution coach and package to suit your needs.
Where are you at?
Your new coach will have a second, more in depth consultation and will analyse past data and training in depth as well as conducting tests to assess your current fitness level, strengths and weaknesses. This will then form a baseline to create a plan unique to your needs to maximise your potential development.
And so it begins..
Your coach will create a personalised training plan for you, using TrainingPeaks software to set and record your sessions. After each training session, you will upload your data. Your coach will review your training, provide feedback and set your next block of training. All training is bespoke to each athlete.
Ongoing Development
Your coach will provide regular feedback and analysis based on your training results via phone, WhatsApp & TrainingPeaks, helping you continue to progress your goals and improve performance. Training will be constantly adjusted to suit your needs and maximise your performance for your current goals.
