TRAINING CAMPS

It’s been a total game changer training with lactate monitoring to ensure training is set to the correct zones. The difference experienced in physical status with readiness to train, as well as week on week improvements in training markers really surprised me, especially in such a relatively small window of time. What Dan brings to this team is an incredible fountain of knowledge, he goes out of his way to make sure all of his athletes are confident and race ready to perform their very best on race day.

I started working with Dan and immediately could see that we were a good match. He is excellent at preparation and analysis of training as well as being as sensitive to workload and availability. Having a detailed plan at hand at all times meant I could plan properly and be organised. Alongside this, was the nutrition and well being elements, both of which are vital for Ironman.

About 15 years ago, I returned competitive cycling after almost a 20-year absence due to life and career commitments. Since working with Dan for the past 3 years, things have changed somewhat! It can be no coincidence that my recent palmares includes... Twice representing Great Britain at the World Championship - Gran Fondo (100-mile Road Race). Not bad considering, I’m now rapidly approaching 60 years of age.

I first contacted Dan at Alpha State to help me with training to complete LEJOG (Lands End to John O’Groats). Upon our first meeting I could see the passion Dan had towards all aspects training. Within weeks of starting training I had signed up to train for triathlons. The past year has been amazing being part of a team that all share the same passion to improve and become a better athlete.

What truly sets Alpha State apart is its incredible community. It’s a place where everyone, regardless of their ability, feels valued and supported. Whether you’re a seasoned triathlete or just starting your journey, you’re welcomed with open arms. This sense of belonging motivates me every day. It reminds me that while triathlon is often seen as an individual sport, it’s really a team effort when you have a group like Alpha State by your side.

Dan is an amazing coach, he is dedicated,  supportive and inspirational. He ensures that your programme is created to enable you to achieve your goals as long as you, follow the programme, stay committed and trust the process. Dan has also created a fantastic, supportive community of like minded people who are all determined to achieve their goals with Dan’s support and guidance. He really is a 5 star coach, you won’t find another coach as passionate as he is.

John - Alpha State Athlete

As an impaired athlete with a very busy working life, having someone like Dan to create a personalised, dedicated training plan is invaluable. I give him my targets and constraints, and he works it all out for me. I know I just need to execute the plan to make progress while preventing injuries at the same time—no stress... I’ve reached a level competing against international impaired athletes, and fully able-bodied athletes that I didn’t believe was possible, and I couldn’t have done it without Dan’s support.

Florian - Alpha State Para Athlete

Dan has built a strong sense of belonging a culture of mutual support amongst his athletes... We often turn out to support each other. A recent highlight was when 5 members of the Alpha State team, including Dan, competed in IM events in Portugal; it was an incredible weekend, but also a culmination of a load of supportive training towards a shared goal. I have achieved more than I ever thought possible, but most importantly, felt valued and had fun. I am looking forward to what is yet to come.
