Training

The Training Room

Sessions that matter.

Three disciplines. One programme. One team who knows what last week cost you. Whether you are building toward your first sprint or chasing a podium, the training at Sláinte is structured around the athlete you are today — not the one you think you should be.

Programme Spine

Coaching with a purpose, not just a checklist.

Swimming progresses through drills, distances, and intensities. Cycling is split so newer and stronger riders each have a lane. Running balances volume with speed and hills. Brick work sits where it belongs in the week.

The public site explains the stack honestly. The athlete portal holds the personalised version: what you are doing, what changed, and what your coach wrote last.

Swim.
Ride.

Three disciplines. One community. A coaching philosophy built on structure, science, and the belief that every athlete — at every level — deserves to train with purpose.

“Three sports, one journey. The right structure, applied consistently, with people you trust around you — that is what gets athletes across finish lines.”

◈  Discipline One
Swimming

Where efficiency
meets the water

Swimming is where many triathletes feel most vulnerable — and where focused coaching delivers the fastest gains. Unlike running or cycling, swim efficiency is almost entirely technique-driven. No amount of fitness compensates for a broken stroke, and even small mechanical improvements save meaningful energy before you reach T1.

Our squad sessions work across a range of drills, distances and intensities — building stroke economy and the ability to hold form when fatigued. That's precisely when it matters most in a race.

“Private and small-group sessions are available for athletes building confidence before the main squad — or those targeting specific technical weaknesses.”

Cycling &
Brick Sessions

Cycling is where triathlon races are built or broken. The longest leg, the biggest aerobic engine — and the discipline that determines the condition of your legs the moment you step off the bike and begin to run.

Two ability groups run in parallel. Group 1 for beginners and intermediates; Group 2 for those pushing race-specific intensity. Everyone is challenged. Nobody gets dropped.

The Transition
Bike to run — the most physiologically demanding moment in triathlon. Brick training is how you prepare for it.
↺
Neural Adaptation
Repeated bricks teach your nervous system to anticipate the shift — blood flow adjusts faster, heavy legs diminish.

Ability Groups
Beginner–intermediate in Group 1. Intermediate–advanced in Group 2. Structured for each athlete's level.

Race Specificity
Course-specific sessions simulate the exact demands of race day — pacing, terrain, fatigue management.

Discipline Three

Running in triathlon isn't the same as running fresh. It's a discipline performed under load — which means training it in isolation is only part of the picture. Our programme covers the full spectrum of what endurance running demands.

Discipline Four

Personal
Training & Testing

The gap between training hard and training right is often just a matter of knowing what's actually happening inside your body. Our coaches offer one-to-one programmes built around your schedule, your goals, and your physiology.

⟳
Zonal Testing
Sport-specific tests across swimming, cycling and running combined with heart rate data to prescribe the exact zones that produce the adaptation you're aiming for — not a generic estimate.
◈
Lactate Testing
Identifies your precise lactate thresholds to target training intensities, delay fatigue, and track genuine progress. Valuable for every level — because your thresholds are unique to you.
↗
1:1 Coaching
A fully personalised programme that factors in your work, travel, recovery, and race calendar. Sustainable, specific, and built to get you to your goal.
