Welcome back to AMP, its a great pleasure to welcome Nick Dunn on the pod.

Nick says

"Having been double World Age Group Champion across Sprint and Olympic distance as well as racing at Elite level in both short and long distance events, I had an enjoyable triathlon career and learnt so much along the way. While I was competing I also started coaching and quickly realised that this is what I wanted to do when I finally hung up my tri suit! That happened in 2013 and since then I have been a full time triathlon coach and never looked back.  Coaching is not just my job, it is my passion.

I have over 20 years racing and coaching experience plus a degree in sport science and a background in strength training.  For the last 12 years, as the Co-Founder of Challenge Tri Camp I have been lucky enough to have gained even more experience of working with a wide range of athletes covering all abilities and multisport disciplines, on 100’s of training camps!  So with most of my life in and around triathlon and now even having children that partake, I see my role as not just as a triathlon coach but as a role model and educator with the aim of helping our Challenge Tri Camp athletes to become healthier, fitter and stronger. This in turn, then aids them to achieve and meet their performance goals and triathlon aspirations.

I have taken complete novices who are unable to swim to compete in half distance events to working with professional triathletes to fine tune their already high skill base.  I have clients who are all about competing and have helped guide them through qualifications and then onto World Championships over all triathlon distances and also led athletes to World and European Gold medals in several disciplines. I am very proud of these coaching achievements and hold them above my own personal ones but for me it is about self-improvement no matter what level you are competing or completing at.  Whether that being doing their first ironman or a novice event, I look at all your numbers and stats, and enjoy doing the ‘techy’ bit but also want to know how you are doing and how you feel – triathlon both in training and on race day is about mental and physical strength and part of the coach athlete relationship is looking at the person as a whole.

I have ‘been there and done it’ but also have the knowhow and take huge pleasure to be able to pass on my knowledge and help others no matter what their starting level or aspirations are.

At Challenge Tri Camp we have a long and proud history of helping athletes achieve their goals and sporting aspirations.  Working closely with the athlete, it is about training smart to ensure they hit their goals in peak condition. "
