Your coach is wherever you are.
Summit's online coaching brings a PhD in training load to your training week, anywhere in Australia. Fully remote, TrainingPeaks-based, and genuinely personal — the same research-led coaching whether you're in Perth, Brisbane, the Top End, or a regional town with one pool and a lot of wind.
A plan that's always with you, and a coach who's actually paying attention.
Your individualised program is delivered through TrainingPeaks and adjusts as your week unfolds. You upload sessions from your watch or head unit; Leighton reads the data — power, pace, heart rate, RPE — alongside how you're actually feeling and what's happening off the bike. Then the plan responds. Scheduled calls and ongoing messaging mean you're never guessing and never coaching yourself.
Distance and time zones don't dilute any of that. What makes coaching good — judgement, communication, and reading the person behind the data — travels perfectly over the internet.
The same coach, every week, wherever life takes you.
Travels with you
Move cities, travel for work, relocate for a season — your coaching doesn't reset. The relationship and the plan come with you.
Coached by Leighton
You work with one coach — Leighton — who knows your history, your goals, and your tells.
Anchored in data
Decisions are informed by objective training-load data from real age-group athletes, and built around your week specifically.
How it actually runs.
How does online triathlon coaching work?
Your plan is delivered through TrainingPeaks and adjusts as your week unfolds. You upload sessions from your watch or head unit, Leighton reviews the data, and you stay in contact with scheduled calls and ongoing messaging. It works the same in Perth, Brisbane, or regional Victoria.
Is online coaching as good as in-person?
For most age-group triathletes, yes — and just as effective. The plan is always with you and always current, and the quality comes from coaching judgement and communication, not proximity.
Do you coach beginners online?
Yes — first-time triathletes through to Ironman athletes. Beginners get more explanation, more structure, and clear guidance on technique and pacing, all built around the time you realistically have.
What do I need to get started?
A GPS watch or bike computer and access to swim, bike, and run is enough to begin. A TrainingPeaks account is part of the coaching. Power and heart-rate data help but aren't essential on day one.
Wherever you are, let's talk.
