ESCI Level 1About
I was a chain smoker once upon a time and I struggled to run a 5k then. Now I've completed several Ironman's, half Iron distance triathlons ,half marathons , obstacle courses, qualified for the 70.3 worlds and Ironman world championships ( Kona) as well ! . My journey hasn't been easy with quitting smoking and getting fit. I want to share my enthusiasm and passion for the sport with you all and share what all I have learnt along the way. I'm an Ironman Certified Coach and an avid Trainingpeaks/final surge user and am the first coach in India to offer metabolic testing ( remotely) via insycd to measure your Vlamax , VO2 , Anaerobic Thresold , Fatmax and Carbmax. Gone are the days of the 20 min FTP test. We can now calculate your lactate clearance and accumulation rates using inscyd and design intervals based on your unique physiology. If you're truly interested in optimizing your workouts and taking it to the next level , reach out and we can integrate metabolic testing in your training. Snapshot of what I've accomplished so far: Ironman 140.6 - 11:11:35 (PR) , Ironman 70.3 - 4:57:21 (PR) , 21.1 km - 1:31:40 (PR), 5KM (18:44) . Feel free to reach out to me for a free consultation . Occasionally Ironman U emails get buried in spam , so feel free to reach me thru my via my website https://www.desitricoaching.com/ or my instagram handle desi_tri_coaching or via email at shray@desitricoachin.com Look forward to helping you out
Philosophy
First and foremost our coaching revolves around the athletes current fitness , their goals and availability of time . With that said our coaching "methodology" for triathlons revolves around a polarized approach early season and then transitions to a more pyramidal approach as you get closer to racing season. For the bike , we have a big emphasis on big gear/low cadence work and try and get the athletes to work up to double bike days ( YES ! 2 HARD bike sessions in one day) . This helps build durability or as what some people refer to "strength endurance" and helps you run better of the bike. For the swim , we have the athletes use of buoys and paddles as it helps the athlete develop strength in their stroke and also leaves their legs a bit fresh for the hard bike and run sessions For the run , we maintain a very polarized approach and encourage the athlete to include hills regularly
