How it Works
The process begin with my online athlete questionnaire which covers all the key areas of information I need to develop your program. For coached athletes we will also have an initial call to discuss your needs and to understand how we'll work together. To build effective plans I need to understand you - your goals, your training history, your lifestyle and commitment to training.
Once we've completed this initial assessment I'll be in a position to develop your plans in full.
You may already have goals in mind or you may need advice on which races to target. I've a wealth of personal racing experience, and a wide range of athletes I can draw on to give you an informed opinion about most races. I will help you flesh out a full season of racing, focussing on the events that matter most to you and ensuring you're in peak fitness to race them.
As I plan your season I will consider your strengths and weaknesses. Picking areas to focus on and when to do this so you build to a race day peak.
Every training plan I build is fully tailored to the athlete it concerns; they are built to best develop fitness and realistically fit into your life. Plans are delivered using the TrainingPeaks platform - the basic account is free and provides an easy means to share the plans and your feedback.
Plans are detailed, utilising Structured Workouts within TrainingPeaks to direct the sessions and clearly indicate the effort and intensity you should be working at. They are normally delivered 4-5 weeks at a time so you can see what is coming up in your program. They're not set in stone though. Depending on your coaching package adaptations and updates will occur bassed on how you progress.
This is where my coaching packages differ. The level of support you receive will vary depending on the package you choose.
On the Peak package I'll review your training weekly with a phone/Zoom call to discuss. You can email or message me any time for input. feedback or adjustments to your schedule. We will also arrange additional calls around events and race planning.
On the Build package I'll review your training weekly and email you to check on your progress. Additionally, we'll have a monthly call to review progress and discuss training. You can email or message me any time for input. feedback or adjustments to your schedule. We will also arrange additional calls around key events and race planning.
On the Base package I review your training every two weeks and email you to check on your progress. As part of this fortnightly check in you can email or message me for input. feedback or adjustments to your schedule. We'll have a call to review progress and discuss training every 3 months. We will have an additional call for around the key race of the season for planning.
Finally, on the Training Plan package I review your training as each month of your program comes to an end. I'll email for feedback and can answer your questions at this time. Your feedback will be taken into account as I prepare your next month of training plans.
While the level of support and communication is determined by the plan I recognise that sometimes situations change and will always make reasonable efforts to deal with major disruptions to your training - injury or illness - regardless of the package you've chosen.

Testimonials
I have been coached by Russ Cox for 2 years and highly recommend him. He has developed me from having completed one sprint triathlon and a half-marathon through to qualifying for the 70.3 World Championships. He is knowledgeable, methodical and able to adapt your training plan to meet your life schedule which makes him an excellent coach for getting the most out of time crunched age-group athletes. He is also kind, responsive and supportive for helping with the inevitable setbacks of endurance sport.
He is always open to discussing and accommodating my suggestions, however naïve, which gives us a rewarding athlete-coach relationship. He has coached me to PBs at all distances raced - including a 2:43 full marathon and <4:30 half-ironman.
He also runs a yearly training camp in Lanzarote which is great fun to hang out with Russ and the other athletes he coaches, whilst getting bespoke in-person coaching.
Prior to working with Coach Cox, I had been self coaching for my Ironman races and after my second Ironman, I decided to make a change in the hopes to improve my performance and the switch has been the best decision. The training has brought me in my preparation with exactly how I need to train and I have seen huge success with my race performance.
One of the biggest changes I’ve noticed from my prior training to with having Coach Cox is I am no longer sore with the training load. My previous attempt to self coach I was constantly sore and not training right. Since working with Coach Cox, he manages to implement the right balance and load of training to ensure success and it’s paid off!
