I had already signed up for Grant's Total Immersion swimming course and I really enjoy it. It made natural sense to extend our relationship to the other aspects of the sport.
Grant and I spent a long time talking about "how I got here", what motivated me and the parameters within which I live my life and approach Tri's. With that, we put together a sustainable training plan with KEY workouts and fillers to help me acheive my goals. He also recommended a great book called "Breakthrough Triathlon Training" by Brad Kearns. After reading the first bit of the book, it really is resonating with me. A balanced, holistic approach to training and approaching the sport. I highly recommend it.

Getting a coach is a huge step up in commitment. When you work out to your own plan it's really, really easy to modify your plan in your mind to conform with reality. But once a coach gives you the program, there it is in black and white. I took a running class from Grant and really enjoyed it, learned a lot. Have fun!
