How to Find Any Coach ...and in particular; me! Coach Terri

 How to Find a Coach

On this page I show you where to find me and my coaching bio pages in various locations.  I'm also connected to two training apps; Tridot and Training Peaks.  Both have affordable monthly pricing from $15 - $250/month, depending on the level of coaching you require.  

All the pages listed below, with my coaching bios, can be used to find any coach, not just me.  

So if you are seeking coaching help, and I suggest that anyone hoping to race should at least have a few coaching sessions to be safe and ready.  

My hourly rate is $50 for an evaluation of posture or swim position, nutrition or sweat rate consultation, racing strategy analysis, or other coaching you may need.  Training plans are $200 using either Training Peaks or excel.  If you want coaching through the apps, instructions are below to sign up on either Tridot or Training peaks.  

What is Tridot? 

I've become a coach for the Tridot System.  Below is my link if you'd like to sign up for Tridot.  You can begin free and decide if you like it before you subscribe.  Subscriptions begin at $15/month.  If you're interested in having my advice as a coach, you can choose the higher-level subscriptions.  

New athletes can register by starting a Test Drive using this unique link.

In a nutshell, Tridot is an application that uses AI to take your personal data and develop a training program for your racing plans.  It will connect with Garmin and other fitness trackers to send you workouts on a daily basis, customize your training based on your output and keep you involved with your training by giving you scores on each workout.  The Tri Dot name comes from the three ratings in dots on your profile, indicating your fitness level in Swim, Bike, and Run.  On a scale of 0-100 you know where you stand in the community of triathletes.  For example, a swim number of 70 means you are in the 70th percentile of athletes and, therefore faster than 70% of the athletes they have analyzed in your age group.  The same speed in an older athlete could be more like 80 because of the declines due to age.  

This is a great way to set your expectations.  

Along with Tridot, you can access RaceX, which allows you to input your races and delivers a prediction and some guidance on how to race your best race based on your input and data from the Tridot program.  

If you want a customized training program, tridot is the most dynamic system available.  

Tridot also sponsors Pool School.  Check it out here. 

Training Peaks

I also use Training Peaks, which is less dynamic with your data but allows for data from other sports to be used.  Training peaks works with Garmin and other fitness trackers.  You and your coach can communicate on this app.  Races can be identified,

and you can set goals for your races on this app. 

If you'd like to use an existing Training peaks account with me as your coach, this is the link to use

You can find out more about Training Peaks here  https://www.trainingpeaks.com/

Training Peaks was first developed by Joe Friel (no relation we can find, maybe back in ancient times as Friels are small in number) who is a athletics researcher and developer of training metrics for determining Intensity, fatigue, stress, and ability with a variety of measures.  Tridot uses these metrics but in a slightly different way.  Training peaks has a very large library of videos and support for both athletes and coaches.
