Ian Murray - Head Coach LA Tri Club

After coaching triathlon full-time for over 20 years I see the greatest results from guiding an athlete down the path towards mastery. The foundation of mastery is simple: consistent repetitions of specific workouts paired with excellent recovery. The details are complex: workouts must be appropriate in duration, intensity, and include an element that improves technique.
