Most triathletes have data. Far fewer have judgement.
Have your training reviewed by Leighton Wells, PhD — a sport scientist whose research is specifically about triathlon training load. A clear, honest read on what your numbers are actually saying, what's working, what isn't, and what to change next. No ongoing commitment required.
A second opinion on your triathlon training, from someone who studies it for a living.
A Summit training plan audit is a one-off, expert review of your current training. Leighton looks at your recent sessions, your training load and how it's progressing, your recovery, the rest of your life load, and the race you're actually pointing at — then tells you, plainly, what to keep, what to change, and what to stop doing. It is not ongoing coaching and it is not a generic template. It's judgement applied to your specific situation.
Most age-group triathletes don't need more complexity. They need someone who can interpret training load, recovery, work stress, family demands, and race goals together. That interpretation — Measurement + Meaning = Decision — is the entire Summit model, and the audit is the fastest way to put it to work on your training.
What your data shows
Training load, discipline balance, intensity distribution, progression and consistency — read against objective data from 95 age-group triathletes, not a hunch.
What it means for you
Your numbers interpreted against your goal, your timeline, your recovery capacity, and the real load of work and family — the context a plan alone can't see.
What to change next
A short, prioritised list of the changes that matter most — not forty tweaks, the few that move the needle for your next block of training.
Two ways to have your training reviewed.
Every audit is done personally by Leighton, and every audit includes a discount on your first coaching block if you decide to continue. Start where you are.

The audit is only as good as the person doing it.
Leighton Wells has generated some of the training-load literature himself — five peer-reviewed papers. His PhD examined how experienced coaches actually make training-load decisions, and the gap between what the research recommends and what real coaching demands. That's the lens your training gets reviewed through.
"I don't coach training plans. I coach people who happen to have training plans. The plan is the simple part. Understanding the person who has to execute it — that's where coaching actually happens."

Athletes leave knowing what to do — and why.
"I reduced my Ironman 70.3 PB by 50 minutes in less than 12 months with Leighton, and he coached me to my first Ironman finish."
"Exceptional, personalised service. Leighton provides great insights and really knows what endurance training is all about. I reduced my Ironman 70.3 time by 40 minutes."
Before you ask.
What is a triathlon training plan audit?
It's a one-off, expert review of your current triathlon training. Leighton looks at your recent training data, training load, recovery, the rest of your life load, and your race goals, then gives you specific, prioritised changes. It's a second opinion — not ongoing coaching.
Who actually reviews my training?
Leighton Wells personally. He holds a PhD in sport science focused on training load, is a TrainingPeaks Level 2 coach and AusTriathlon Development Coach, and is a 7-time Ironman finisher. Every audit is his own work, start to finish.
Do I need to use TrainingPeaks?
It helps, but it's not required. For the Standard and Premium audits, TrainingPeaks gives the richest picture. For a Basic audit, Garmin Connect, Strava, or even a clear training log is enough to work from.
How is an audit different from coaching?
The audit is a snapshot second opinion you can act on yourself. Coaching is the ongoing relationship where those decisions get made with you every week. Many athletes start with an audit, then continue into coaching — which is why each audit includes a discount on your first coaching block.
Will you just tell me to train more?
Often the opposite. The most common finding is to train smarter or recover better, not simply harder. Your training is also compared against objective data from 95 age-group triathletes, so the advice is anchored in where you actually sit — not a guess.
Find out what your training is actually saying.
Tell Leighton where you are, what you're training for, and what's been nagging at you. He'll recommend the right level of audit — or tell you honestly if you don't need one yet.
