Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who is The Consistency Project for?

Our coaching is designed for athletes of all abilities, from complete beginners preparing for their first sprint triathlon to experienced competitors aiming for a personal best or an Ironman finish. Whether your goal is to finish, improve, or compete, we'll help you train consistently and confidently.

2. Do I need previous triathlon experience?

No. Many of our athletes are new to the sport. We tailor your training to your current fitness level, experience, and goals, ensuring you progress at a pace that's right for you.

3. How personalised are the training plans?

Our personalised coaching plans are built around your goals, current fitness, available training time, and lifestyle. We believe the best training plan is one that fits your life—not the other way around.

4. I have a busy job and family. Can I still train for a triathlon?

Absolutely. In fact, that's exactly who we coach. Our philosophy is based on helping busy people achieve their goals through smart, sustainable training that fits around work, family, and everyday life.

5. What triathlon distances do you coach?

We coach athletes preparing for every distance, including Sprint, Super Sprint, Olympic, 70.3 (Half Ironman), and full Ironman events.

6. How does communication with my coach work?

Depending on your coaching package, you'll have regular contact through scheduled reviews, messaging, and coaching calls. We're here to answer questions, adjust your training when life happens, and keep you moving forward.

7. What if I miss training sessions?

Missing a session isn't a failure—it's part of life. Our focus is helping you get back on track quickly and maintain long-term consistency. Progress comes from what you do over months, not from one missed workout.

8. Do you provide guidance on strength training and nutrition?

Yes. We provide practical advice on strength training, recovery, and race nutrition to complement your triathlon training and help you perform at your best.

9. What equipment do I need?

You don't need the latest technology to be successful. While devices like a GPS watch or bike computer can be helpful, we'll work with the equipment you have and recommend additional tools only when they genuinely add value.

10. How do I get started?

Simply complete our athlete questionnaire. We'll review your information, recommend the coaching option that best suits your goals, and arrange a short conversation before you begin your training journey.

11. Do I need a TrainingPeaks account?

Yes. All coaching and training plans are delivered through TrainingPeaks, one of the world's leading platforms for endurance athletes.

TrainingPeaks allows you to view your daily workouts, track your progress, upload completed sessions from compatible devices, and communicate with your coach. It gives us the information we need to provide accurate feedback and make adjustments to your training when needed.

If you're new to TrainingPeaks, don't worry—we'll guide you through the setup process and help you get started. A free TrainingPeaks account is sufficient for many athletes, while some coaching packages may recommend or include a Premium subscription to unlock additional features.

12. How much does coaching cost?

We offer a range of coaching services to suit different goals, experience levels, and budgets—from structured training plans to fully personalised coaching.

Our coaching options include:

• Training Plans – Fixed programmes for athletes who want a proven structure to follow independently. 

• Personalised Coaching – Tailor-made training with regular reviews, feedback, and ongoing support.

• Premium Coaching – A fully customised coaching experience with closer communication, plan adjustments, and comprehensive guidance.

As every athlete has different needs, we'll recommend the coaching option that's the best fit for your goals after reviewing your athlete profile.

Our aim is simple: to provide the right level of coaching—not the most expensive one.
