25.01.2022 We are gearing up for a summer of races, and if multi-sport has been on your bucket list for a while, get in touch, as I may be able to help you! See what Daniel has to say about his first triathlon training programme with me.. "Being in my early forties I had been thinking about new challenges and participating in a triathlon was already on my radar so when the course presented itself I jumped on board. ... The eight week program was well set out with a comprehensive training program to guide us through to completing a triathlon at the end. Alison did a fantastic job at keeping everyone involved motivated and well informed about all aspects. She gave positive feedback to help improve in areas required, her knowledge of triathlons, training required and technique specifics are top class. With Alisons help and training regime I improved my swimming technique from being out of breath after 50m to be able to swim a sprint distance (750m) continuously. I also noticed the constant improvement of other individuals throughout the program. At the end of the program I completed the Sprint distance and was very happy with my efforts. The camaradery from within the group really helped to spur each other on. I would definitely recommend this course to anybody wanting to give a triathlon a go, the lessons learnt are invaluable for you first time. Many thanks Alison"

25.01.2022 Salads dont have to be boring! This is a filling, tasty and healthy one to accompany chicken, fish or other protein. Substitute the wheat for quinoa if you prefer, but make a batch and it will last a couple of days in the fridge

25.01.2022 Time to wind down for the weekend, its FRIDAY! Whats on your agenda for the next two days? Weve got a 40th birthday party to go to (we might feel old!) and hoping for some better weather to get out on the bikes again.....roll on the Spring here in Perth!

25.01.2022 I started coaching triathlon in 2016 with my first beginners group - a bunch of ladies who had never done one before and joined my 12-week programme. One of those ladies was Jo who I first helped to get back into running. This is what she had to say about training with me...... "I just wanted to say thank you. I used to be a runner, but due to changes in work routine, gaining weight, then the knee injury and the anxiety Ive not felt like a runner for a very long time. I run.../walk everything. To give you some context, on 27 Jan I ran a new parkrun PB. I was pleased. But I still had a short walk at 2k, 3k and 4k. Mentally, 5k still felt FAR and 2k was the most I felt I could run in one go. This was all psychological - I used to worry about blowing up and not being able to get home. I used to worry about being so tired Ill stop concentrating, lose my footing and twist my knee. Except I do my knee exercises and my fitness has improved, so these werent real issues - it was just a habit Id formed and I would reward myself with a little walk. Youve worked hard to build my fitness, endurance and confidence, and Im very grateful, thankyou!"

24.01.2022 #Throwback Thursday 30 minutes of core work. Dont let it slip guys, youve got to keep working those essential core muscles!

24.01.2022 Mental health awareness is particularly important right now when many of us are forced to be away from our loved ones. Outward appearances can often deceive so take the time to ask someone (with meaning) today if they are ok

24.01.2022 A gorgeous sunrise #freshwaterbay this morning on my way to coach my Friday client in #kingspark. Loving that our mornings are getting lighter and more people are out and about

24.01.2022 I have been coaching triathlon skills to Primary school children these last few weeks and it's been a great reminder of some of the very basic riding skills that are relevant to all riders.

23.01.2022 Limited offer for athletes only available this week! If you didnt know, I write bespoke training plans for triathletes and runners and am an accredited TrainingPeaks Coach.

I will then contact you to find out what your goals are, what training availability you have, what equipment you use, with and also any limitations you might have. From that I will create a plan for you to follow - easy as that! It takes out the guesswork from your training, gives you structure and accountability. https://home.trainingpeaks.com/attachtocoach

23.01.2022 PLYOMETRIC BOXES...... another exciting addition to my studio coming soon! Not for the faint-hearted or untrained, these little steps of joy provide additional surfaces to hop and jump. In these type of exercises, muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time, with the goal of increasing power. If youre a runner, you might find these useful, although there is a high risk of injury so they are definitely not for beginners! Always get the help of a PT or coach before diving in....

23.01.2022 I havent tried these yet but they are from @anitabean who is a superb sports nutritionist. They look pretty simple, very tasty and perfect for a mid-ride snack or afternoon pick-me-up. If you make them, let me know how you get on!

23.01.2022 Just three simple things to keep you healthy.

22.01.2022 We are listed in Google Maps with a few reviews from happy clients. We have been up and running in Perth for just 18 months now, from the UK, and it takes time to build up a reputation and client base. I offer free consultations for anyone locally who wants to meet for a coffee, or on zoom for those remote athletes who want some besoke coaching. #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlongoals #triathloncoaching #newtotriathlon #triathlon_world ... #triathlons #triathlontraining #perthtriathlon #perthfitness #trichick #perthpersonaltrainer #perthisok #perthlife See more

21.01.2022 Not a bad location to coach triathletes here in Perth, but only if youre a member @nextgenkp. 8am every Monday morning for some squad swimming to get ready for summer races

21.01.2022 #throwback Thursday. Today you have a previous stretching and holding session from when we had hot weather in Perth!

19.01.2022 When coaching my athletes I like to get involved in their journey from start to finish. One of the best parts is being at the finish line an cheering on my athlete to do their best and motivate them. Triathlon season is coming up here in Perth and although you might think its for advanced athletes, its really not!! Anyone can do it and I can show you how.Just contact me

18.01.2022 Got a race coming up? Here is my quick guide to your event and training nutrition, taken from @drstacysims ROAR book on female athletes. A great read for your training and nutition needs if you are an athlete of any level and/or just working out for your own health benefits. #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlongoals #triathloncoaching #newtotriathlon #triathlon_world #triathlons ... #triathlontraining #perthtriathlon #perthfitness #trichick #perthpersonaltrainer #perthisok #perthlife See more

18.01.2022 With triathlon season well under way here in Perth, why don't you consider having a go? Together with @triathlonWA and @UWAtriclub I will be delivering a TriActive programme starting early Februrary 2021. Designed for anyone wishing to do their first event with other like minded people challenging themselves to do something extraordinary next week. I will be dispelling the myths of triathlon and showing you that its for everyone!

17.01.2022 If you are finding some of the basic level core exercises too easy, and have a stability ball available, here are 5 options for you to try. Aim for 10-15 reps of each exercise and repeat the whole thing 2-3 times, and before any eagled-eyed enthusiasts mention it, yes I do need to put some more air in my SB!

16.01.2022 A quality breakfast sets you up perfectly for the day ahead. And having a good serving of protein with in this gives you that fuller for longer feeling, helps reducing mid morning snacking and can aid recovery. I love a pancake recipe. They are so versatile and you can tailor them to whatever you taste buds fancy. It is also very easy to add protein powder to them making them a functional breakfast. You can use your favourite pure protein powder in this recipe. 120g Oat m...ade into Oat Flour 2 Large Eggs 45g Protein Powder 200ml Milk 1/2 teaspoon of Vanilla Bean Paste (optional) Coconut oil for cooking in Firstly blitz your oats into a flour like consistency using a food processor. Using Oat Flour not only gives the pancakes a lovely flavour but reduces the gluten content. Then it is simply a case of adding the rest of your ingredients to the food processor (or if hand mixing if you are feeling strong) until you have a smooth thick mixture. Adding Protein can transform this breakfast into something of real function for those that are in intense training. Grab a non-stick pan and melt a teaspoon of coconut oil. This recipe should make around 6-8 pancakes, perfect quantity for two people. I topped my pancakes with a big spoonful of greek yogurt, some summer berry compote and a sprinkle of desiccated coconut, but the topping choice is completely up to you.

14.01.2022 If youre looking for a quick veggie accompaniment for your protein at dinner or lunch try #ottolenghi Mustard marinated kale recipe from his book Simple. I love this book and every dish I have prepared from it never fails to impress. They arent all healthy but you can definitely pick some great nutritious, tasty and varied dishes just like this one. Try it - let me know what you think

14.01.2022 Here in Perth Spring started on 1st September (dont you just love an Aggi?) and in planning the week ahead Ive been looking at the weather forecast to see when best day for a ride will be..... Temperatures here are around the 20C mark and with only a few showers at the start of the week, its perfect riding conditions.....long may it last. Races are on the horizon so the little legs need to get back into it

14.01.2022 Healthy does not need to be difficult or complicated. This quick salmon recipe is rich in a protective antioxidant, astaxanthin, and it is an excellent source of high-quality protein, vitamins and minerals (including potassium, selenium and vitamin B12). However, it is the content of omega-3 fatty acids in salmon that receives the most attention, and rightly so. It is this essential fat which is responsible for the reputation of oily fish as a valuable ‘brain food’ and a fabulous source of protein.

14.01.2022 Just messing around here.......thoughts?

14.01.2022 What more can I say? If youre out on the road, you might want to remind yourself how to be safe!

13.01.2022 #throwback Thursdays More HIIT???

12.01.2022 aaaannnnddddd BREATHE Its Friday, yipee! Friday is usually long squad swim day for me (4.5k Red Mist with @swimsmooth) so by the evening Im pretty pooped. Today will be no different but I feel SO GOOD afterwards!... What is your Friday bringing you?

12.01.2022 Currently working on some new marketing material and revamped website, Im looking for some new clients. If youre in the area and in need of some motivation, accountability and want to get fit & strong, you need me! just message me, email me [email protected] or call 0452 515906

12.01.2022 Whilst I love getting people into swim, bike and run, strength and conditioning helps everyone - in all sports. My client here in Perth (Kari) had this to say about our 1-1 training sessions: "I think of the PT sessions as the foundation for all of the other athletics I pile on top. I definitely see the benefits in my tennis game. I havent had a tennis lesson in 6 months, yet my game continues to improve. My grip is stronger, my movements more controlled, my balance and speed are also improved for overall better performance. Im looking forward to getting stronger at swimming and biking, and running"

11.01.2022 5 benefits of the side plank: Core Strength. Strengthens Arms and Wrists. Side Plank requires you to balance on one arm, so this is a great pose for strengthening your shoulders, wrists, and arms. Strengthens Legs. Side Plank is really a full-body pose. Improves Balance. ... Improves Concentration.....particularly if you hang around here for a few minutes! How long can you side plank for and do you have a stronger side?

11.01.2022 Im excited that the race calendar here in Perth is out, and theres lots to chose from between now and April 2021. Whilst I LOVE the racing, Im also really good at getting newbies through their first event and as a coach this is the second thing I love! If youre in the Mosman Park area look out for these flyers. Im looking for small groups of women who want to set a sporting challenge together and get some help along the way.... In 8 weeks I can get you fitter, stronger, faster and more skilled at swim, bike, run so that you can do that first ever race with confidence. I will dispel some of the myths of multi-sport racing to show you that ANYONE can take part and compete!

10.01.2022 I also coach triathletes remotely to get them through their A race. Here is what one of my recent athletes had to say "Alisons expertise in programming and wisdom in guidance and feedback saw me slice almost ten minutes off my Olympic Distance triathlon time in a matter of months. I was especially moving faster on the bike and finishing stronger in the run. Alisons program saw me finally making the improvements I had wanted for a long time. She helped me to grow stronger and race smarter."

09.01.2022 Have you visited my website yet? You're really missing out if not!!! Right now there are two challenges on there to help with your fitness journey. One is an 8-week plan to improve your core strength... The other ia 12-week plan to get you from couch to 5k in 12 weeks. They are really great value for money and simple to follow, with videos (core only), weekly instructions, education and ongoing questions to keep you accountable. Check them out at www.sunshine-hf.com

09.01.2022 Long term goals here.....The triathlon race season this year has been messed around big style and the World Champs in Edmonton in August were obviously cancelled. Luckily my qualification place has been transferred to next year when I hope to be able to plan a trip to Bermuda...... That leaves almost a full year to prepare for a sprint triathlon. This shouldn't be difficult (it's a short race!), and realistically not much prep should be needed.... But to perform well and be on top form, the only way to see the wood for the trees is to start planning some small challenges between now and then that work on my weaknesses, improve key skills, develop speed and keep me injury-free until then.

09.01.2022 #throwback Thursdays HIIT session again this week....consistency is key to getting results, but I an hardly believe this was done back in March in the first day of Perths and the UKs lockdown. How things have changed around the world since then.

09.01.2022 I LOVE bircher muesli, but have to be reminded that its such a great portable brekkie to make, keep and use when you dont have time for anything else! Try this simple recipe.... make it the night before and itll last 3 days. I tend to add everything except the yoghurt which goes in at the last minute before coming to work with me on those early (530am) starts. You can vary the nuts and fruit to your liking and to add some variety.

09.01.2022 Winding down for the weekend..... On a gorgeous Winter afternoon in #citybeach. Too cold to swim but lovely for a walk after lunch

08.01.2022 Our small but crazy run group @Nextgen after some interval training this evening. Every Tuesday at 530pm if you want to join us. All new members welcome!

07.01.2022 Got some long races or rides coming up? Try this cinammon and raisin homemade rice cakes. Popular with the pros these will give you the energy you need to fuel those long events. https://www.otesports.co.uk//fuel-like-the-pros-cinnamon-/

07.01.2022 #ThrowbackThursday bringing some leg strengthening exercises to you, from way back in April....enjoy!

06.01.2022 Have you and your mates got a common goal this Spring? Why not train together to motivate each other on and work towards it as a team? In 8-weeks youll see a big difference in your strength, fitness, flexibility, and your shape. Its always so much fun working out with friends, so give me a call to see how we can make this work. Available in Mosman Park and surrounds

06.01.2022 I am soooo excited to have started coaching two triathlon training courses for beginners. Running at the same time, but with different training sessions, both are 6 weeks, and in total we have 19 budding new triathletes who are about to learn new skills, and get fitter and stronger for their races. #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlongoals #triathloncoaching #newtotriathlon #triathlon_world ... #triathlons #triathlontraining #perthtriathlon #perthfitness #trichick #perthpersonaltrainer #perthisok #perthlife @triathlonwa @womeninsportwa See more

05.01.2022 Your #mosmanpark personal trainer is ready for business! Whatever your fitness goal Ill help you to get there! No fads no fuss

04.01.2022 No prizes for guessing whats going on here...... My latest addition to my equipment list is a whiteboard, but I have a problem with its size and my mode of transport.....hmmmm The whiteboard is for the coached swim sessions and other group workouts so clients know what the plan is going to be for the hour ahead....... Communication is key!

04.01.2022 If the world was behaving normally, today I would have be racing my AgeGroup at the Sprint Triathlon World Championships in Edmonton, meeting up with other crazies and pushing myself to be the best athlete I can be, amongst the best amateur athletes in the world. Instead, training has a new emphasis for a while, one of FUN! The pressure is off for another 9 months and its great to just love it for what it is, rather than always following a prescribed session.... How are you dealing with the loss of races this year? or have you managed to sneak a few in still?

03.01.2022 Having fun is important when you are working out with a trainer, and getting variety in your workout is too. If you havent tried a suspension trainer (such as a TRX) before, here are some of the benefits: Its is for everyone, no matter your fitness level.... Exercise never gets boring. New twists on old exercises. Burn more calories. Get a stronger core. Lower risk of injury compared with free weight training. Gain more muscle. Workout anywhere. Im not a trainer that plays around with faddy new-fangled equipment and complicated exercises but this is so versatile and really engages core muscles, its a must for most people

03.01.2022 Finally my @snuggwetsuit is back from its Cornwall repair, and how great it is to be swimming in the ocean again. If you have races coming up and need a reminder on how to get out of your wettie quickly, here are some key tips: If you have a really long run to the bike, get the wetsuit down to your waist early on, then you can concentrate on running fast to your bike. It’s a little easier taking it down to here straight away as there will still be some water in the wetsuit an...d this will facilitate it coming off easier. You could always check if its OK to remove your suit immediately as you exit the water and then carry it to transition. This may be a quicker option. When you get to your bike, grab both sides at the hips and give the suit a big yank down, trying to get it as far as possible in one action. If that works well all you need to do then is put one foot on any surplus suit, lift your other knee up high and kick out (avoiding your bike and other competitors)! Keep the kicking foots pointed and it should pop straight out. Then swap over, making sure the stationary foot is on the rest of the suit (otherwise you could shoot it half way across transition!). You might need to repeat a couple of times. As ever, practice practice practice!

03.01.2022 Came across this today from my client. Kari is one of my first clients here in Perth and is still training with me each week, seeing continuous improvements in her tennis game, overall fitness and nutrition. I do love a happy client!... It takes me back to 15 years ago when Mr Sunshine & I went to a wedding of his friends who didn't know my surname and my name tag on the table was 'Alison Lovely', because every time they asked him how I was doing, he'd say 'she's lovely'......

03.01.2022 #throwback Thursday Im still digging out the archives and here is an early HIIT session for you - just 30 minutes of high intensity exercise is all you need to kick start your day!

01.01.2022 Its Sunday, time to start planning the week ahead. When are you going to fit your training sessions in? If you leave it until the last minute, itll be Friday again and you might only have done 50% of what you wanted. I always plan my workouts into my schedule on a Sunday evening, ready for the week ahead. They are then pretty much fixed in the calendar and rarely move, unless Im feeling unwell. Try it today, it works!

01.01.2022 The Good Vibes Bowl in our local cafe is just delicious...Haloumi, broccolini, carrot puree, spinach, rosemary & garlic kale and grain salad.... Halloumi is a great source of protein, packing 7 grams into a 1-ounce (28-gram) serving . Protein is essential for many aspects of health, including hormone production, immune function, and tissue repair
