A structured weekly check-in to discuss how training is going, flag anything that has come up, and adjust the plan as needed.
With a Masters in Exercise Science (S&C) and years of experience in athlete performance and rehab, David builds injury prevention into every programme from day one. It is not an add-on.
Your programme is built backwards from your race date. Tapering, race-week protocols, and course-specific preparation are all included.
You are working with David directly, not a platform with automated plans. Questions get answered, feedback is genuine, and the plan adapts to your life.
This is a real sample week from an experienced multi-Ironman athlete 8 to 10 weeks out from Ironman Cairns. Every session has a purpose.
Note: training volume at this level reflects years of base building. Beginner and intermediate athletes follow progressively structured programmes appropriate to their experience and available training time.
Plans start from $200 per month for Bronze, $240 per month for Silver, and $300 per month for Gold which includes an integrated strength programme. All plans are delivered online via TrainingPeaks with no minimum commitment required.
No experience is needed. David works with athletes at every level, from people completing their very first 5km run through to experienced athletes chasing Ironman podiums. The programme is built around where you are right now, not where you think you should be.
Your training plan is built and delivered through TrainingPeaks, which you access on your phone or computer. David reviews your sessions, monitors your load, and provides feedback regularly. You will have a weekly check-in to discuss how training is going, adjust the plan as needed, and address anything that has come up.
David's background in S&C and athlete performance means injury management is built into every programme from the start. Rather than just pausing your training and hoping for the best, he can assess what is happening, modify your programme to keep you moving safely, and guide your return to full training.
For most athletes starting from a reasonable base of fitness, 16 to 24 weeks of structured training is a realistic preparation period for a first 70.3. If you are relatively new to triathlon or coming from a single sport background, allowing closer to 6 months gives you time to build your weakest discipline without rushing.
A full Ironman requires a significantly longer preparation window. For athletes who have already completed an Olympic distance or 70.3, a 24 to 30 week build is typical. For athletes newer to triathlon, 12 months of structured training is a more realistic and safer approach. Rushing an Ironman build is one of the most common causes of DNS and DNF on race day.
Absolutely. One of the core principles of TriApex Coaching is maximising what you can do with the time, resources and goals you actually have. Athletes with limited training time can still make significant progress with well-structured, purposeful sessions. Your plan will reflect your real weekly availability, not an idealised version of it.
