Coach Iain Banks

2009-09-28T11:15:00.011-04:00

Having raced mountain bikes competitively at the National Expert level in the UK since 1995, upon relocating to the U.S.A in 2004 Iain began to race competively in triathlon and running events. After a season of primarily Olympic distance events he moved up to the longer half-ironman distanced where the endurance nature of the races proved more to his suiting. 2006 saw him complete his first Ironman race and as an small detour from triathlon racing ultra-distance trail races (running) were on the schedule in 2007.

In 2007, 2008 and 2009 he qualified for the 70.3m World Championships as well as in 2007 the ITU Long-Distance Duathlon World Championships.

In 2008 he became the Mid-Atlantic Ultra Distance Triathlon Champion at the ChesapeakeMan Ultra Distance (ironman) triathlon and finished in the top 10 at the National Marathon (2hr 40min marathon).

Having just completed a sub 10-hour Ironman Louisville he ranked 11th in Age Group and in the top 50 amateurs (38th). Long-term goals are to race consistently in long-distance triathlons and qualify for World Championship events where he can compete against the best athletes in the world. The schedule for 2010 already includes Eagleman 70.3m and Ironman Lake Placid.

2009-09-27T15:21:00.002-04:00

I offer a full range of coaching packages and performance services for all levels of athlete. Please feel free to contact me regarding any of the services I offer...I'm happy to discuss custom packages to suit your individual needs. As such training packages vary in price and will be based upon your specific plan.

Triathlon Coaching

I offer dedicated monthly multisport coaching tailored to you the individual athlete. Let me share my knowledge and experience with you to create a custom training plan based on your precise needs and provide ongoing coaching support for your entire season or just that important goal race. Regardless of the level of coaching provided:

- you get personalized individual plans;

- unlimited communication directly with your coach; and

- Only a limited number of athletes are accepted for dedicated multisport coaching in 2010.

Please contact me for further information and discussion of your specific goals and requirements.

Multisport Consultation Package

Interested in guidance for your multisport training but not ready to take the plunge into dedicated monthly coaching? I have developed the Multisport Consultation Package to give you the knowledge and tools you need to train smarter and more efficiently.

We start with a thorough interview to establish your personal goals, strengths/weaknesses, and individual needs. Over a period of a few weeks we can establish appropriate training zones based on HR and pace, develop a training plan and periodization schedule, and provide guidance on building your daily workouts through each phase of your training. By the time we're done you'll feel confident that you have the knowledge required for effective self-coaching.

Base price for the Multisport Consultation Package is $200 and I'm happy to discuss customizing the package to suit your specific needs.

Custom Training Plans

Are you interested in a custom training plan for your next race? From 5k to the marathon, I can work with you to develop a training plan based on your specific needs that will completely prepare you to finish your first race or crush a new PR. I can also offer continuing support to help you make it to race day. Prices typically range from $75-$150 for complete plans including ongoing support.

Personal Coaching Sessions (for locally based athletes)

Proper technique and form is an often overlooked aspect of training for the self-coached athlete. A knowledgeable observer can spot flaws in your technique that may be limiting your potential or increasing your risk of injury. Correcting these imperfections can result in improving your economy and efficiency enabling you to go faster for longer. Personal coaching sessions allow for the evaluation of your form as well as explanation of specific techniques, drills and workouts. All evaluations include specific advice and drills to start improving your technique and workouts immediately. Personal Coaching Sessions are each $50 for an hour session.
