“Training for excellence, with excellent training.”

When you finish the Big Tahuna, you will have accomplished something very special.

Crafted by myself, Ray Boardman PGDipSportsMed, PGDipRehab, PGCertSc (Exercise Science), BSc (Anatomy), DipSportsStudies this plan encapsulates my passion for the sport, my experience from completing dozens of Half and Full IRONMAN distance finishes and my success coaching hundreds of triathletes.

Starting 10 weeks before the Big Tahuna (on 24 December 2018), this plan progresses through phases to build you to your peak performance.

Purchase of this plan gives you access to my fortnightly coaching calls where you can ask me any training or racing related questions.
