I am super proud to post that CyberCoach had a 100% finish for all the 22 athletes we had at Ironman SA this year. After seeing the conditions that they were going to endure it was a nerve-wracking day for a coach. I am so stoked for you all!

Indoors or Outdoors
I began writing training programs for people when I worked in a bike shop in the early 1990s. I started formally coaching people as CyberCoach in 2004. From then until now I think the biggest... facebook.com/CyberCoachDvG/p…

Durban Ultra Triathlon Post #3 - The Run and Transition
Let's be honest, there is not much to talk about on this run route except how potentially fast it is. It is flat. There is a slight gradient down towards the... facebook.com/CyberCoachDvG/p…
Durban Ultra competitors - We are due a post on the run route and I have also had a request to do something on transitions but I was down at Bike and Bean yesterday, where the swim exits, and I thought of... facebook.com/CyberCoachDvG/v…
Here is the next post for the team at B-Active and the Durban Ultra. We had a chat about the swim last week and now we take the logical step to the next discipline and the bike ride.

The guys at The Durban Ultra have asked me to do a few posts leading up to the race on the 3rd of March. I thought I'd start in the logical place, where all triathlons start, in the swim.

This didn't surprise me at all. I think most would think world-class pros would eat super-healthy or 'clean' but when you are travelling to an event, that can be difficult. Additionally, if you aren't too... facebook.com/884137731705994…

I really appreciate the opportunity to write training articles that allow adaptability and a degree of specificity rather than the stock-standard, generic, grid-pattern magazine programs that publications... facebook.com/884137731705994…
Running Power is a an interesting new metric to measure our training. I have been using a power meter on the bike for many years but I am very excited to see how including power as a measure of running output... facebook.com/CyberCoachDvG/p…

As mentioned in my last post, swimming is generally the toughest discipline for most triathletes. Most of us don't come from swimming backgrounds and haven't swum with a coach since our teens. So instead of trying... facebook.com/CyberCoachDvG/v…
I do not come from a swimming background and basically taught myself to swim in order to compete in triathlon. Over my years of coaching I have realised that most of today's triathletes are in a similar boat,... facebook.com/CyberCoachDvG/v…
Here's a little addition to the video I posted a few days ago. I am using 'deep water running' while my fibula heels. This morning I added my small fins to get more purchase on the water and to add load to my... facebook.com/884137731705994…
