(rumbling and swishing sound)
- According to government, I need 48 hours rest.
This is exciting stuff.
Good morning Trainiacs.
I don't know if you saw yesterday but that big announcement
about Coach Pat coaching plans on TriathalonTaren.com.
Well you just ruined the audio Gracie.
I am psyched about that.
I've had people asking me for probably about a year.
Again.
- How they could get a really good coaching plan
that I believed in and I never really had an answer for them
and I didn't really want to become the coach
because it didn't seem like it was something that was
within my capabilities to do.
I mean tips and everything that I give.
It's more just like what I learnt day to day
but creating a big comprehensive training plan
that will get you through a race.
Like that's for guys like Pat that have been studying
this stuff for 20 years and the fact that we can go through
the training that Pat has designed for us now together.
I think that would be really cool so on that note,
I am going for a run with Pat right now.
I gotta go to the office later this afternoon.
Think it's a tube day.
You wanna make sure that your Garmin watches and pedals
and everything are giving you the best readings
and the temperature is changing a lot outside.
Before you go, set the watch outside so it can acclimatized.
Just like you need to acclimatized.
(uptempo pop music)
- 13, focus, focus.
- That is wholesome.
According to government,
I need 48 hours rest, remember that.
(uptempo pop music)
- Trip into the office to go in and stock up on food.
Do this just about every Sunday because I eat a lot
and I figured while I was doing this
because the internet is so damn good here.
I'd come and do a little bit of a Facebook live
and explain a little bit more about the triathlon
coaching program that Coach Pat and I have dreamed up.
Because yesterday in the blog,
I basically just said it was happening.
I didn't really say a lot about,
apple, apple triathlon too.
Had something planned where we need this
in the office this week.
As I said yesterday, yeah Coach Pat and I are looking
at creating coaching plans that are going to be
on TriathlonTaren.com so that
when I get all of the questions
about creating a coaching plan for people.
Where people should get coaching plans.
Which coaching plans I like.
I can actually have an answer for them
that isn't just sending them off to some website
that I haven't use.
I can send them to a website that I know and love, mine.
I can send them to a coach
and I know what the training plans
and what the content of the training program includes
because I helped create it with Pat.
And Pat is a damn smart dude, the guy has been studying
triathlon training for 20 years.
How's my hair?
The guy's awesome so this is something
that I really believe in.
I think it's gonna be really special.
Here are some of the ideas about why I think it's going
to be different than what is out in the world right now
or it might be the same
but it's like what we're piecing together.
Number one, I don't know if you know this
but we've got a Triathlon Taren Trainiac Strava Group.
As of right now, it has 758 members and every time
I come in here, there's like eight new discussions
so I'll be going into the Strava Group every couple of days
replying to a few of the comments
and there's a lot of people in there.
That they go and help each other out,
that is awesome.
Right now on Strava it's basically take it or leave it.
I get what I get.
I want to create this over on TriathlonTaren.com
so we can do a few extra things.
I'll be able to monitor it myself better
and add things that I think would be valuable to you.
As far as the coaching program goes,
what Coach Pat and I were talking about
is to have a little bit of that two way communication
that he believes is so critical to a good coaching program.
We'll have closed forum group where anyone who's gotten
one of our training programs can go in either myself
or Pat will answer questions
or people who've gotten some of the training programs
and know the answers to the questions can also go in.
It creates a little bit more interaction
than just here there's your training program,
go figure it out, go away.
The next thing and I need some water.
Is that there is a lot of ideas about videos
that I wanna create that don't necessarily
belong in the blog
but they would do a lot better inside of a coaching program.
So for example, there's a series of 10-15 drills
that I use to help build my swim stroke.
I can do a video on each one of those drills
and it can be included in one of the training programs
that you would get and then the last thing,
let's set this up while we chat.
Somebody mentioned that we should
have these on training peaks so that we can charge for them.
Yeah, we're gonna charge for them.
I kinda have to because Coach Pat
isn't part of Triathlon Taren.
He doesn't benefit from me doing videos daily
about dancing around in a speedo.
And he's gonna end up spending a ton of time
on creating his programs.
So I have to pay Pat for the work that he's gonna do
and in our opinion the thoughts of what we have in our mind,
of how good a program this is going to be.
At least as valuable maybe more
because there's going to a lot more one and one
interaction more information and more of a community vibe.
So it's gonna be a really valuable thing
is the average plan on training peaks cost
around $25.00, $26.00 per month of a training plan.
And compared to the many more dollars
that I pay Pat per month.
It's gonna be a heck of a deal that you're all getting.
I hope that by now even if you're new to a channel,
you'll know that what I want for this channel
isn't to make bundles and bundles of money
and become a stinky rich millionaire out of it.
Granted I wouldn't turn that down, the coolest part
about this channel is the community aspect of it.
If some day, you feel really connected
with people all over the world
and make a living out of it.
Great but it's not about squeezing money out
of this community in any way shape or form
and frankly I know social media well enough to know
that if that's even how I approached it.
Instantly, you guys would call BS on me
and all that community based stuff that I know
and love and cherish about this group, it goes away.
So the plan for this is yes, we are going to church for it.
But we want it to be so valuable that you'll look at it
and you'll tell everyone of your friends
that's out there in the triathlon community
that they have to get a Triathlon Taren
and Coach Pat training program.
And that as a result grows the community
and that is what I'm more jazzed up about than anything.
I really just want a very good answer for the question
that I get from people saying Taren
where do I get a good training plan from.
And I am going to again plug the survey
that we put up yesterday
at TraithlonTaren.com/caochingsurvey.
It's like six multiple choice questions
and takes about a minute to fill out.
Because we can only design a handful in the first go
and we're going to design the ones that the most amount
of people are looking to get.
This is exciting stuff.
I am very, very pumped about this.
I'm gonna do a Facebook live
and then I gotta get home for dinner.
(uptempo jazz music)
One, hey what's up Trainiacs, it is.
(uptempo piano music)
Here are the ideas that we're going through
right now with the coaching program.
Number one, next thing about this plan
if it's really awesome.
It will continue to grow because people all around the world
will be talking about the awesomeness of it.
Bing, that's two days of announcing this coaching program.
I'm a little bit excited about it.
I think that it's gonna be a great thing
and for anyone who isn't yet following me on Facebook.
Should be from up there.
Follow me on Facebook if you wanna do a Facebook live.
I'm gonna try to do them regularly on Sunday night
'cause nobody is in the office
and the internet is really good here.
And on that note, it is time for home.
I got supper waiting at home.
I got dogs waiting at home.
I got no Triathlon Kim waiting at home
and I got the world curling championship finals
waiting for me at home.
You have a good night Trainiacs.
