MEET YOUR COACH,

andy Nash

Coach Andy studied Sport Science at Bangor University and began racing in the university triathlon squad. Now racing as a professional athlete, Andy brings recent pro-level experience to his coaching. He specialises in evidence-based endurance coaching, using lactate testing, power-based cycling metrics, and structured periodisation to deliver measurable performance gains. Andy works with age-group and aspiring pro triathletes and cyclists, offering personalised plans, testing, and race preparation to help clients reach new PBs and podiums.

Experience

Away from racing, Andy has spent over a decade working within Human Performance Optimisation in the Defence forces, both in the UK and now his new home in Australia. Managing the three pillars of HPO; Nutrition, Physical, Cognitive/Social he has built a robust foundation on what is required for athletes wanting to achieve true High Performance. This role has sharpened his coaching instincts and his understanding of what it actually takes to train well around a demanding life. Andy knows first-hand that most athletes aren't training full time, they're balancing sport and training with work, family, and everything in between. Every plan he writes is built around this reality.

Philosopy

Individuality

Through Andy’s years of experience he has learned that no two athletes are the same, and there’s no one size fits all to training. He understands to help an athlete reach their potential, he must tailor their training around their strengths, schedule and preferences.

Balance

In life, sport is not everything. It can be a truly enriching part of life, but it’s only one part. Andy knows that training should be integrated around life, not the other way around. He always considers this philosophy when designing plans or advising his athletes.
