About the coach

Iván Koch

I have coached endurance athletes for more than three years, in Spanish, English and Portuguese. Before I coached anyone, I raced 20 marathons and finished 3 Ironmans. Both matter: I know what the data says, and I know what hour four feels like.

How I got here

I started as a rower as a kid, moved to running, and ended up in triathlon and trail. Twenty marathons later my personal best is under 3 hours, and of the three full Ironmans I have finished, the fastest was 10:06.

Triaperformance started with one friend who wanted to run a marathon. It is now more than 100 athletes coached, several of them sub-3 marathoners and full-Ironman finishers. I did not stop racing in order to coach — I still train and still race, and that is part of why the method holds up.

Outside sport I work in operations. That explains more about how I coach than it sounds like it should: I measure, I compare against a plan, and I change course when the data says to — not when the week got hard.

How I coach

One service, no tiers and no fine print. Testing before I write your first week, zones built from your numbers rather than a generic table, feedback every Monday without fail, adjustments whenever you ask for them, and a re-test to prove the progress is real instead of a feeling.

My athletes describe that service better than I do: adapting to their schedule and the weekly check-in are the two themes that come up most in the reviews.

Try the zones calculator — it is public, it is the same one I use with my athletes, and it shows you concretely how I work before you ever talk to me.

TrainingPeaks

I am a TrainingPeaks partner and a Level 2 Accredited coach on their platform. In practice that means two things.

First: TrainingPeaks reviews and accredits the coaches on its platform, and that accreditation is renewed every year. Second, and this is the part that matters to you: TrainingPeaks maintains a limited directory of coaches — Coach Match — which you enter by application and review. When an athlete fills in the questionnaire, TrainingPeaks reads the answers and refers them to a coach by fit. They refer athletes to me from across Latin America and beyond.

Put plainly: this is not me saying I am a good coach. It is the platform most of the world's endurance coaches work on deciding, case by case, to send me athletes.

I also publish my full training plan catalogue there — 111 in English, and more than 300 across all three languages.
