From being stopped at mile 84 to completing two Ironman’s what a journey! A huge thank you to Veo Coach from Velo Performance for helping me achieve something I once thought was out of reach.
In 2024, my Ironman Wales race ended during the bike section at mile 84. It was a difficult moment to accept, but I knew something had to change in training if I wanted to come back and achieve my goal.
Pete took time to understand my strengths and weaknesses, identifying cycling as the area that needed most attention. His consistent, structured workouts built my strength, fitness and confidence on the bike while developing my swimming and running. Every session had a purpose: preparing me to take on Ironman Wales again.
What I appreciated most was his understanding and flexibility. When I was tired or struggling, Pete adjusted my training rather than simply pushing me harder. He helped me recognise what my body needed while keeping my goal in sight.
I also learned so much about consistency, nutrition training and race preparation. Alongside the hours of swimming, cycling and running, that guidance gave me confidence and helped me reach a level of fitness I had never achieved before.
Now, I am proud to say I have completed two Ironman’s! Looking back at that setback, this achievement means so much. Pete’s coaching has strengthened not only my performance but also my confidence and belief in what I can accomplish when I set my mind to it.
Pete, thank you for your knowledge, commitment, encouragement and support. Your willingness to adapt my training and understand my needs played a massive part in this journey. I genuinely cannot thank you and Velo Performance Coaching enough.
