Integrated programming
Swim, bike, run, recovery, and supporting strength work are organized as one realistic week.
Online triathlon coach | Nationwide
Triathlon coaching that brings swim, bike, and run together.
Train for sprint, Olympic, 70.3, or full Ironman distance with one plan that reflects your experience, schedule, recovery, and race.
30 minutes. No sales pitch. No commitment.
One connected training system
Three sports should not feel like three separate plans.
Triathlon training becomes difficult when swim, bike, and run volume compete for the same time and recovery. An online triathlon coach helps set priorities, manage the total load, and adjust the week as your race approaches.
Galen coaches first-time triathletes and experienced athletes across sprint, Olympic, 70.3, and full Ironman distances. Coaching is virtual, so your location does not limit where you can train together.
Triathlon coaching is for athletes who want:
- A complete plan across swim, bike, and run
- Full Ironman coaching or shorter-distance support
- Race-specific pacing and preparation
- Feedback when training does not go as planned
- Accountability through a long training cycle
