Frequently Asked Questions

What is training periodiZation ?
Periodization refers broadly to training that is structured around periods of progressively-loaded training stress followed by rest. Most periodized training plans can be organized by macro-, meso-, and micro- cycles.

DO I NEED A COACH TO TRAIN FOR MY FIRST IRONMAN ?
Working with a triathlon coach takes the guesswork out of your training. A good IRONMAN coach will guide you through all the building blocks of a periodized training program, from laying the foundation and growing your aerobic engine during the “base phase” to what is known as the “build” to your race.
​Having access to data analysis and performance suggestions will help clarify every step of the way.

cAN i DO AN IRONMAN AND AN ULTRAMARATHON IN THE SAME SEASON ?
Yes, but it’s tricky, and should only be attempted if you are very familiar with IRONMAN training and recovery. If you’re newer to the IRONMAN distance, and intrigued by ultra, then it’s best to focus on just one or the other. 

 

AtHLETES WE COACH

So thank you again for all of your awesome coaching this year.  None of this would have happened without your help and I am very grateful for it!  Last year I ran some quick races but this year I think I learned how to manage races properly, especially half marathons, and that was down to all the extra endurance that you helped me to build through marathon training.  I'm excited to see what I can do next year!

My goal from the outset was IM 2011 Finishing Line and crossing it, that was the easy part, without a coach I can only imagine it to be a very hard and lonely experience.

I have worked with many coaches in the past, Barb Kramer you are the best :) why, because you truly care, you give it 100% and yep you are alongside me when its pissing down with rain at 6am ready for a Swim then a Bike ride and then a run....when choosing your coach just think about that, I can save you a lot of hassle meeting other coaches just give Barb a buzz. Barb will keep you fully on track, will challenge you on your thoughts, will give you so much more and make it work for you. A coach is only as good as the plan and Barbs knowledge, experience and dedication works. 
I had a few niggles along the way - spoke to Barb and the next day the programme was re-jigged. How many coaches out there can truly give you that level of attention! Barb really knows her stuff, from what to eat, how to juggle work and when to push/pull back. Thanks for being a big part of my first IM journey….

I have been with Barb for the last 7 years and have put a number of budding athletes onto her great way of training. She has enormous passion for the sport and shows this in the great amount of information she gives to her clients, explaining in detail. I love the way she breaks down all aspects of a certain discipline she is teaching, she is a technical and technique based coach who is ensuring her clients are in the sport for the long haul and have no concerns about possible injury due to too much training too soon. Hence why I am still with her at my age!

Barb goes above and beyond the call of being a coach. She is ALWAYS there for all of her athletes whenever they need her, after hours, phone calls, and weekends. Barbs knowledge in Triathlon is huge and she is always on training courses and doing research to broaden her knowledge. She has great results with her clients and always gets the best out of them. I find Barb to be very honest, no sugar coating but also very motivating.
 Barb always explains the training programs she writes so I have a good understanding of why I’m doing it, the benefit of it and where we are going with it. I have been with Barb since 2006 from a Tri Girl wanting to achieve more and she has got me through all distances in Triathlon including Ironman, which we are heading into this year with number 2! She has especially helped me with my running and cycling making me stronger and faster!

And when you just need a friend to talk too, she is that as well. I really wish Barb the greatest success in Coaching.

I have trained with Barbara for nearly three years and I can honestly say that I believe she can successfully get any one to the finish line. Her natural understanding of the body and ability to get the most from her athletes without breaking them is outstanding. I always recommend her services to any first timers giving it a go and wish her all the luck in the future.
