Online run and triathlon coaching · Australia wide
Structured plans written for you, uploaded to intervals.icu, synced to your watch and reviewed every week against what you actually ran.
Who it's for
Every plan starts from your training history, not a template. You get sessions written for your goal, your current fitness and the days you can train.
Structured run training for a PB or a first finish. Easy volume where it matters, quality sessions where they count.
Swim, bike, run and strength balanced across your week, with bricks and open water skills as race day gets closer.
A return block that starts below your old baseline and tests every one to two weeks, so you build back without breaking down.
Inside a plan
55 minutes, about 11 km. This is how a session lands on your intervals.icu calendar and your watch. The targets are percentages of your own threshold, so the same session fits every athlete.

Fill in the short form below. I reply within 48 hours.
A questionnaire and a 30 minute call: ability, availability, facilities, strengths and weaknesses, goal races and anything else that limits your week.
Create a free account, link Garmin or Strava and add me as your coach. Your training history comes across automatically.
I set real HR and pace zones, work out a safe ramp rate and flag bad sensor data before anything is planned.
Sessions land on your intervals.icu calendar one to two weeks ahead and sync to your watch.
Plan against actual, every week. The next block is built from what really happened.
How I coach
My day job is electrical engineering, and I coach the same way: measure first, build in margin, check the result against the plan.
Monthly increases of around 10 to 20%. Consistency wins over big weeks.
Max HR and thresholds come from repeated hard efforts, not 220 minus your age.
Wrist HR spikes and treadmill pace errors are excluded before they skew your zones.
Lighter blocks go around the low periods you already know about, like December.
A drop in volume gets a conversation before it gets a plan change.
After two to three weeks or more off, you start below your old baseline and test every one to two weeks.

Athletes
“I've been following the CoachED program for the past few months and it is without a doubt the best personally tailored training program I've used. Edward is professional, attentive and knowledgeable when writing my program. I have gone from not being able to complete a 1km swim in the pool, to finishing an Olympic distance triathlon with his help.”
“I reached out to Edward through a mutual friend for some tips for a race I had initially entered. Over time he's progressively become more involved, helping me towards preparing for my first marathon. I appreciate the time and effort he puts into programs as well as answering my sometimes over-the-top questions.”
“I previously used the NikeRun App to schedule my run workouts however I found it to be generic and didn't take into account my working/family life. I've since started with CoachED and couldn't be happier. The sessions are simple and tailored for me and my busy schedule.”
FAQ
No. intervals.icu is free. There is an optional supporter subscription, but you don’t need it.
Any GPS watch with heart rate that syncs to intervals.icu. Garmin is the smoothest, because structured workouts push straight to the watch.
Sydney. Coaching is online, so you can be anywhere in Australia.
Runners from 10 km to marathon, triathletes from sprint to 70.3, people returning from a break, and anyone who wants real structure in their training.
Yes, once a physio or doctor has cleared you. You start with a return block and build from there.
Your coach
I raced track for over ten years, some of it against the best in the world. After I hung up the spikes I found triathlon, and later raced it professionally while working 50+ hour weeks as an engineer.
That is the athlete I coach best: someone with a real job and real commitments who still wants to race well. There is enough time in your week to train properly and live a balanced life.
