“TrainingPeaks products are the cornerstone of my training and racing. As an early TP adopter, I now have more than 10 years experience using TP to plan, analyse and manage my progress. The insights I gain from using the flexible features help me to continually improve.”
Mark is a life-long runner who raced cross-country, track and road at university. Twelve years ago his son Nick, who was new to triathlon, was selected in the State team for the Australian Schools’ Triathlon Championships. Later, the 2001 AUS duathlon championships were being held near their home, so Mark gave it a shot – Nick’s talents had come from somewhere, and spurred Mark to make a comeback after a 20 year layoff from racing. Mark discovered TrainingPeaks and started science-based training. Three years later his proudest moment in sport was winning the Open Team category at the State Duathlon Championship, doing the run legs with Nick biking. Since then he’s raced epic endurance events around the world, including the Australian Three Peaks, the New York City Marathon and 13 ITU world championships. He’ll soon be scaling back his work life to improve his swimming and qualify for Kona.
