Need some training help? Considering your first Ironman, or just wondering how to improve your swim technique? Then we’ve got just the person to ask… Yep, we’re excited to announce that joining 220 Triathlon from the March issue, on sale 1st February, will be six-time Ironman world champ and coaching legend Dave Scott.
Dave Scott took his first Hawaii Ironman title in 1980 and went on to win again in 1982, 1983, 1984, 1986 and 1987. In 1993, he was honoured for his accomplishments in the sport and became the first inductee into the Ironman Hall of Fame. We have also named him greatest Kona triathlete of all time
Coaching expert
Dave went on to have a successful coaching career and has worked with athletes including the legendary four-time world champ Chrissie Wellington. He now devotes his time to educating and inspiring athletes of all abilities and ages leading sport camps, clinics and races and running his own training group in Boulder, Colorado.
But now, 220 readers can benefit from this wealth of experience too, as he joins us as our regular monthly coaching expert – answering your questions on everything from nutrition to race day strategy.
“Hey 220 readers,” says Dave, “bring on your questions and concerns about health, fitness, training and racing. I’m eager to help you through 2017 and make sure you achieve your goals!”
Your Qs needed!
To get started though, we need YOUR questions for Dave… They don’t have to be about Ironman distance (although those are welcome!) and could relate to any aspect of triathlon. Simply send an email to davescott@220triathlon.com and you could be getting some expert advice in a future issue!
Not only that, but Dave wants to hear your ideas for what his new coaching column should be called (and we’ll find a prize in the 220 gear cupboard for the winning idea!), plus the person that sends in the first question we use will also receive a personal answer from Dave in a video broadcast on Facebook Live.
