​The coaches have years of experience helping athletes of all abilities to maintain a healthy balance between their training and performance goals and the challenges of everyday life.

​

Whether you own your own business, work full time or are a busy mum, our background enables us to tune into your individual challenges and understand how difficult these challenges might be when you are trying to perform to your best. We have been there, done it, and Mel has got the T-shirt!

​

Smiling Tri Coach was set up in 2015 to provide a personal coaching experience that wasn't just about the physical plan and the data, but that was about the whole athlete.

​

Smiling Tri Coach is for everyone. If your goal is important to you then it is important to us. We empower our athletes to reach and surpass their goals every day.  We are proud to coach people who are completing their first Sprint Distance Triathlon or 10k race, to people who are regularly representing Great Britain as an Age Group athlete. 

​

We specialise in swim, bike and run – and everything else that comes with our wonderful sport of triathlon. We offer personalised monthly coaching including a Training Peaks account, detailed feedback, meetings, and text, phone and email contact. We also offer 16 week training plans and one off meeting to discuss what training you might need to do to meet your goals. We provide health and well-being advice and can put you in contact with dieticians and sports nutrition specialists who can help you optimise your training nutrition.

​

We are able to help you with run and swim technique, via video analysis and one to one sessions.

​

We partner with M20 Health, a Didsbury based physio and rehab clinic who also provide our bespoke strength and conditioning sessions and are our preferred bike fit service. Adam, one of the owners has worked alongside Mel for a number of years. 

​

We are the Approved Coaching Supplier for OP Events www.opevents.co.uk who deliver Wilmslow Triathlon, South Manchester Triathlon and the Oulton Park Duathlons. 

​

We organise triathlon workshops for community groups, clubs and schools and we also offer small group or one to one coaching for Junior athletes who wish to excel in swim, bike, run or triathlon.
