Paul Carmichael

Paul is a BTF certified coach who has been involved in triathlon for nearly 20 years working with TTT since its inception. Having been involved with triathlon for such a long time means that I have seen how the sport has evolved and escalated to a whole new level of performance. Over the years I have been very fortunate to have trained and raced with some outstanding age group and professional athletes learning from a combination of coaching methods and what it takes to become the best in such a fast-evolving sport. I have learnt how to adapt this to bring out the best in athlete performance. whilst not forgetting the fundamental principles of consistency, variety of training and commitment that’s remain key for athlete success.

Having had a job that involved long working hours, Paul knows what it takes to get the best performance on limited time, he is acutely aware of how crucial it is to make every moment of training and recovery count. Paul has coached and supported a number of athletes to Kona and world championship events of who is he eternally proud of, but is equally proud when helping hard working mums and dads to complete their first race or develop a change of lifestyle for their families.

I live on the outskirts of Chester in the North West with my family. After racing the sport for 10 years I hung up my racing shoes about 5 years ago to focus on coaching and whilst not personally racing triathlon anymore, I take great pride from using my knowledge to help and support those who are. I still love to train hard in all three disciplines as I like to know I can rock up to a training session with the rest of the squad and hold my own! Aside from I love spending time with my wife and daughter and getting out and about with them on bike rides and walks. In the winter months I love to get away to snowier climates and ski, it's a real passion of mine and has been for many years. Generally, if it involves being outside then I’m happy!
