Professional Tri Coaching
Welcome to Peak XV Tri Coaching
Thank you for visiting my coaching page. I’m Garrie, a British Triathlon Level 3 High Performance Coach with over 30 years of experience in the sport — from competing as a successful age-group athlete to coaching individuals towards their biggest goals. Triathlon has shaped my life, and my coaching is built around helping others experience the same enjoyment, achievement, and confidence that the sport has given me.
What makes my coaching different is that it is genuinely person-centred. Every athlete brings their own history, ambitions, challenges, and lifestyle, and great coaching should reflect that. I take the time to understand who you are, how you train best, what motivates you and what support you need. Your plan is built around you — not a template, not a generic progression, but a programme designed to fit your life and evolve with your feedback.
I work with athletes across triathlon, duathlon, aquabike, and single-sport disciplines, supporting beginners taking on their first event right through to experienced athletes aiming for high-performance outcomes. Combined with structured progressions, regular communication, and evidence-based coaching principles, my aim is to help you train smarter, stay healthy, and achieve results you’re genuinely proud of.
As a specialist swim coach, I also offer 1-1 pool sessions, detailed video analysis, and weekly squad sessions to help you refine your technique, improve efficiency, and build confidence in the water — whether you’re preparing for open water or longer-distance events.
Alongside coaching athletes, I also tutor for British Triathlon, helping to develop and mentor new coaches entering the sport. This keeps me at the forefront of modern coaching practice and ensures the methods I use are grounded in current best practice.
Feel free to explore the website and get a feel for the coaching packages, philosophy, and services on offer. If you’d like to chat through your goals, your current training, or what you’re aiming for next season, I’d be happy to arrange a friendly, no-obligation call.
Let’s get you performing at your best.
Triathlon Coaching
My coaching philosophy is simple: every athlete deserves a training plan that’s personalised to their unique needs. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I take the time to understand your training background, experience level, and goals to create a plan that’s designed specifically for you.
Swim Coaching
At Peak XV, our swim coaches are certified by British Triathlon and bring experience and passion to every session. We offer two weekly swim squads aimed at all abilities, ensuring everyone can benefit from our expert guidance. No matter your skill level, we’re confident we can take your swimming to the next level.
Video Swim Analysis
Here at Peak XV Tri Coaching, we believe undertaking a professional swim video analysis session with comprehensive feedback is the most effective way to improve a swimmer’s technique. We offer monthly video sessions at our base in Bolton.
Your Coach
I’ve been involved in the wonderful sport of triathlon for over 30 years. Initially, as a successful age group athlete before moving into coaching, where I’ve had the opportunity to work with many different athletes to help them achieve their own goals.
