Coaching and Training - Helping You Maximize Your Performance

You might be contemplating your first triathlon or duathlon or maybe you think it's time to take on an Ironman. The question is how do you prepare yourself with quality information to take you the next level? Since we are not professional coaches we have asked a group of coaches to help us get you the best advice in your training, health and fitness. We will continue to add new coaches to get more opinions on training. We will also provide links to all of these coaches should you wish to contact them yourself.

Please see the Clinics that are currently available.

These coaches have also generously donated coaching prizes in out Season Long Draw

At NRG Performance Training we combine science and experience to optimize your performance. Head Coach Nigel Gray has over 8 years of coaching experience and has been traveling around the world racing as a Pro for the last 11years. To ensure the most effective training program we use lactate testing to set out individualized heart rate and power zones as well as monitoring performance improvements. These zones are then incorporated into a program that is designed to have your training fit into your lifestyle and not the other way around. Our individualized programs will optimize your training time and race performance whether you are a beginner or professional athlete. At NRG Performance Training we believe in offering the highest level of service and we believe the only way to accomplish this is by limiting the number of athletes each coach will work with. Are you ready to maximize your performance?

Personal Excellence Coaching Services Jane Armstrong has over 20 years of experience coaching all ages and abilities. My degree in psychology, coupled with my extensive formal training in coaching methods, and my own athletic experience, allows me to develop effective training on a personal level. Racing and training as a high performance athlete is a physically, emotionally and mentally rewarding challenge. I have completed more than 250 running, cycling and multisport races, including 13 Duathlon World Championships to date. This challenge improves the quality of my life and serves as an example to others. I firmly believe in developing the mental training aspects of the sport as well as the physical aspects. If your primary goal is personal excellence, my commitment and passion as a coach is to guide you in maximizing your training efforts, based on your individual needs.

Zone3Sports Coach Rick Hellard's Philosophy: “My philosophy is very simple: I believe that systematic and progressive hard work pays off, whether that means working hard to improve swim technique or hard work on the hills pedaling, people won't improve without putting in the time and pushing themselves beyond the comfort level, but doing so in a proper sequence. I also believe there is no substitute for experience, and I have lots of that and am happy to share it with my clients."

My goals for every athlete are equally simple: keep them healthy; make sport a part of their life, not just a phase; get them to the start line healthy, rested and ready to go; get them to the finish as quickly as possible.
