Expert Triathlon Coach in Hertfordshire
Training for a triathlon isn’t just about the sport itself. It has to fit in around your other commitments such as work, family, travel, and the rest of life. If you’re looking for a triathlon coach in Hertfordshire, chances are you want structure without rigidity and guidance that will actually make sense for how, when and where you train.
At Tri-Revolution, we specialise in coaching athletes across Hertfordshire with a personal, one-to-one online approach. Whether you’re training around St Albans, Watford, Stevenage, Hemel Hempstead, Hertford, or other nearby towns, your coaching is built around you, your routine, your goals, and your available training time.
This is not a generic programme. It’s a proper coaching plan that is delivered remotely and grounded in how you train week-to-week.
Personal Coaching, Delivered Online
Online coaching doesn’t mean distant or automated. You will work directly with a qualified triathlon coach who plans your training from scratch and adjusts it as you progress. Your coaching sessions are shaped by how you respond to training, not by a fixed template.
We coach athletes who are preparing for sprint races, standard distance events, middle-distance racing, and full Ironman. Some athletes are new to triathlon and want help learning how to train consistently. Others have been racing for years and want to sharpen their performance or bring more structure to their season.
Whatever stage you’re at, the aim is the same. Clear training. Steady progress. Fewer doubts about whether you’re doing the right thing.
Training That Fits Where You Live
Hertfordshire offers a good mix of training options, but each area comes with its own quirks.
If you’re based near St Albans, you may be using local parks for running, road loops through quieter lanes, or nearby leisure centres for pool sessions. Around Watford, athletes often train early or late to avoid busier roads, using parks and indoor facilities during the week. Stevenage and Hemel Hempstead offer access to longer road rides and trail runs, while those closer to Hertford often take advantage of rural routes and open spaces when time allows.
Your coach will take all of this into account. Sessions are planned to suit what’s realistic, not what looks good on paper. If most of your weekday training happens indoors, that’s fine. If weekends are your long-session window, we build around that.
Real Coaching, Not Just a Training Plan
A training plan is only useful if it adapts. That’s where our coaching makes the difference.
Your coach will review your sessions, give feedback, and adjust your training as needed. If fatigue builds, we address it. If progress stalls, we change direction. You’ll know why sessions are structured the way they are and how each block fits into your wider season.
What you can expect:
- Training built specifically for you, not reused from someone else’s plan.
- Regular communication with your coach, not automated comments
- Balanced attention across swimming, cycling, and running
- Adjustments that reflect real life, not ideal conditions
We use TrainingPeaks to deliver sessions and track data, but the real work happens through ongoing conversation and honest feedback.
Who We Coach
We work with athletes from a wide range of backgrounds. Some are preparing for their first local race. Others are chasing age-group results or aiming to race consistently across a season without burning out.
You don’t need to be fast. You don’t need a perfect schedule. You just need a willingness to train consistently and listen to feedback. We’ll take care of the planning, progression, and course corrections along the way.
Athletes we coach are currently training for:
- Sprint and standard triathlons
- Middle and full Ironman events
- Duathlons and aquathlons
- Running or cycling events that sit alongside triathlon goals
How Coaching Starts
Everything begins with a conversation. We’ll talk through your background, current training, race plans, and availability. There’s no pressure to commit. It’s simply a chance to see whether coaching is the right step for you.
If it feels like a good fit, you’ll be matched with a coach and your training will be set up on TrainingPeaks. From there, you’ll have clear sessions, regular reviews, and direct access to your coach to ask questions or make changes.
This is about building a training rhythm that works now and keeps working as your goals develop.

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.
