HIPPO Coaching

08/09/2026

Let’s re-introduce ourselves. 👋🏼

I’m Ollie, the coach behind HIPPO Triathlon Coaching.

My coaching is fully bespoke. Actually bespoke.

Work. Family. Injuries. Life being life. Mental battles. Good weeks. Bad weeks.

Your training should work around you, not the other way around.

I have a family, I understand how difficult it can be to fit training into real life, and I’ve been through my own ups and downs too.

Fully qualified through British Triathlon & ESCI, and available whenever you need me.

Whether you’re chasing a PB, coming back from injury or just trying to enjoy training again, let’s work it out together.

A nice (horrendously warm) swim session for Nottingham Triathlon Club good to see what the Saturday Crew have been working on

Someone (me) left all his cycling tops at work…..endured the cave for as long as I could (25 minutes) before opting for a cold dip.

Apparently it’s ‘sad scenes’ because Roger Federer was sitting on his own in the Royal Box. Really? The Mirror

The bloke watched three matches because he genuinely loves tennis. That’s exactly what you’d expect from an eight-time Wimbledon champion.

I’d argue the sadder sight is the Royal Box emptying out because so many celebrity guests seem more interested in being photographed than actually watching the tennis. They turn up for the first few games, get their TV shot, then disappear.

If I was playing on Centre Court and the only person left watching was Roger Federer, I’d be absolutely buzzing. I’d rather have one of the greatest players of all time watching my match than a row full of famous faces who are only there for the publicity.

Maybe we’ve got this backwards. Federer wasn’t the lonely one, he was the one there because he actually wanted to watch tennis.

That’s not ‘sad scenes’. That’s someone who still loves the sport that made him a legend.

EFFICIENCY OVER SPEED!

Athletes need to STOP asking: how do I swim faster?
and start START asking: How do I swim this pace with less effort?

Swimming harder is not the same as swimming faster.

If you can swim 1:50/100m at a lower heart rate and lower RPE than before, you’ve become a better triathlete even if your pace hasn’t changed.

Triathletes don’t need to swim faster. They need to waste less energy.

After almost 14 years in the British Army, my final working day will be 20th January.

That day marks the start of my next mission.

From January, I’ll be taking my triathlon coaching and photography businesses full-time.

As a qualified British Triathlon and ESCI coach, and a coach within Nottingham Triathlon Club, I’m now opening my coaching to athletes outside the club environment.

My coaching isn’t for everyone.

I’m looking to work with motivated individuals who are prepared to commit to the process, trust the programme and embrace the challenge.

Whether you’re training for your first triathlon, chasing a personal best or stepping up in distance, success comes from consistency, accountability and smart training.

Using the TriDot platform, I provide personalised, data-driven coaching designed around your goals, your lifestyle and your potential.

If you’re looking for someone to simply tell you what you want to hear, I’m probably not the coach for you.

If you’re prepared to work, stay consistent and see what you’re capable of, I’d love to hear from you.

I’m looking to take on a small number of athletes as I build the business towards going full-time in January 2027.

If that sounds like you, get in touch.

Built for motivated athletes willing to embrace the challenge!
