Ironman World Championship Coaching FOR QUALIFIED ATHLETES
Specialized coaching for top-tier age groupers targeting Kona or 70.3 Worlds qualification — and the race-day performance that follows.
Ironman World Championship Coaching
THE CHALLENGES OF WORLDS QUALIFICATION
Qualifying for Kona or 70.3 Worlds is rare. Performing there is rarer. Most age groupers chasing the slot hit the same walls:
- Peaking twice in one season.
- Slot-day execution under pressure.
- Course-specific preparation.
- AG-level pacing and race intelligence.
- Long buildups without burnout.
- Logistics between qualifier and Worlds.
Most athletes train for the qualifier. The ones who race Worlds will train for both.
MORE THAN A TRAINING PLAN
Worlds-level coaching is in the details. Your program covers everything beyond the calendar:
- Direct, ongoing contact and faster adjustments.
- Periodic lab testing and biomechanics review.
- Equipment, position, and material consulting.
- Course-specific intelligence for your Worlds
- Aerodynamic and pacing optimization
- Optional training camps and on-site race support.
You're a TRIMAX athlete from day one. When you earn your slot, you race Worlds in TRIMAX colors — and not alone.
HOW WE'LL WORK TOGETHER
Here’s what your road to the Worlds looks like.
1. You tell me you’re going for a #RoadtoWorlds.
2. Assessment of realistic possibilities.
3. Qualification prep, targeting a realistic event to qualify.
4. Specific block 3-4 months before the World Championship. We can do altitude training, heat training, or sessions at the World Championship venue if the distance allows for a trip beforehand.
5. World Championship: possibility of in-person support during race week. You’ll race in TRIMAX colors.

I couldn't be happier with Oriol and his training methods. He's a results-oriented coach who makes training sessions fun. He's very flexible and adapts the schedule and training to individual needs. I look forward to continuing to train, improve, and enjoy working with Oriol for a long time!

I've been training with Oriol for almost two years now, and it's been fantastic!
I have very little free time due to family and work commitments, but thanks to his methodology and training system, I've been able to improve my performance as an amateur athlete. Oriol adapts the training to my schedule and needs, which allows me to plan better and make the most of each session. Very professional. Thank you so much, Oriol!

I have been training with Oriol for seven years. I only have good words and gratitude for the work done during all this time, for his patience and adaptability to my needs at every moment. See you soon Uri!

I met Uri back in December 2023 through a referral. He is still my coach to the day and I cannot be more grateful to him. My performance skyrocketed, and smashed my PBs several times. Uri gives daily feedback, and is consistently on top of your performance and your needs. Got an issue? An urgent flight? just feeling lazy? He will re-arrange your plan accordingly.
Having said that, what makes Uri special is his contagious love for the sport, and his genuine interest in not only making you a better athlete but also help you to enjoy the process. I am glad I met Uri, and I recommend you to try meeting him as well

Oriol became my triathlon coach 3 years ago. He is always connected, following and pushing, helping me reach my next level. My best Half & Ironman results had arrived with Oriol.
His methods, always using technology based on Training Peaks and Garmin, are really useful in my training.

Uri coached me for over a year for an IM 70.3 and for my first full IM; Uri is very professional, prepared, experienced (as a coach and as a triathlete), responsive, committed and flexible in his approach (without forgetting the long-term goals though). With Uri´s guide I managed to increase significantly my performance, enjoy more the sport and get a better understanding of certain aspects of the Triathlon. Fully recommended for a true customized one-o-one coaching experience and to get to the next level.

Uri has been my coach since earlier this year. After moving from London to Barcelona with our family in 2021, I set out a goal to compete in the long-distance IRONMAN Barcelona. I was looking for an English-speaking coach and compared several coaching options. In the end, Uri’s data-led approach, experience and modern/remote working style (Google Drive, Zoom, Calendly, Trainingpeaks, etc.) made me choose him. And.. what a journey it has been.
After months of training, I was totally surprised to finish 4th in my age group and 15th overall in my first IM event which also meant I qualified for the World Championship in Kona next year. Although my main goal was just to do well, I cannot thank Uri enough for this result and his excellent coaching and support. He’s a great guy as well!
He knows how to motivate you with the right feedback and training load so you know that the toughest training will be still painful but not unachievable as the training zones are regularly updated. I was able to follow the training plans rigorously, which gave me good confidence in my races. The race plans he prepared for the events were always spot-on and based on your data. The local events and group rides he organises around Barcelona are much fun too.
Besides that, I remained injury-free which for me is a big achievement as I always struggled with little aches and injuries in the past when I was following my own marathon training plan.
All in all, he is a highly recommended, passionate and professional coach who maximises your potential using data and modern ways of working. He is fun to work with too. Uri, thank you for everything so far!

I came to Oriol looking to take my long distance triathlon to the next level following a friends recommendation. Through carefully structured workouts and regular feedback I was able to save 90 minutes off my previous best Ironman time.
Over a 9 month plan Oriol’s workouts built suitably to allow me to avoid injury while making clear progressive gains. For example my swim pace has improved by 10 seconds per 100m and my cycling ftp has increased by over 30watts in this time, more importantly these are sustainable gains I can hold over longer course racing.
Oriol provides feedback on every session and takes time to explain the benefit of each of the sessions so you understand the purpose of the session and plan structure and how to get the most out of yourself.
I’m based in the UK but regular Zoom calls meant this was never an issue.
I wouldn’t hesitate to come back to Oriol for help when I plan to do my next Ironman.
