Not the best of comments, some of us a) can't afford a 'real' coach or b) don't live anywhere near one. To some of us it is just a hobby that we enjoy and want to do as well as possible without having to spu*k out cash willy nilly on luxuries such as 'real' coaches. Rant over.
If anyone does know of online advice etc then I for one would be interested.
You'll probably also find that most levels of coaching only define a certain level of contact depending on how much you want to pay (e.g. 1x 15 min phone call per month at a pre-arranged time, questions by email with a 48hr response). Getting immediate coach response at any time will cost most of us big time..
For me an online system that can revise my plan based on what I actually manage to fit in during a training week will be really good. Until now many online plans don't seem to allow for the fact I can't train much on Saturdays - or that Tuesday evenings I go to the pub, or Wednesday is my preferred rest day. If this online coach system works I think it's going to be great for quite a large number of us that are trying to fit Tri-training around busy work & family lives.
The other option of course is to be so good at Tri that you get selected for TeamGB elite standard.
220 here. Apologies but due to last-minute testing for glitches, bugs and usability issues, the launch of the 220 Triathlon Online Coach has been delayed.
We’ll keep you up-to-date on an exact ETA but sorry again for the delays.
Good to read your thoughts on online coaching though.

Can anyone shed any light?
