Hi Everyone,
This makes me really uncomfortable but as so many have taken risks to help me its worth me doing the same. For those that don’t know me I’m Michael Taylor and after 10 years in triathlon managed to produce the run of my life to qualify for Ironman World championships Kona in October this year. A few have already asked to support/donate/or buy a coaching package to enable this opportunity to be taken. Thank you for your kind words and pushing me on.
Ill not put to much background here because anyone on here probably knows me ! Its been the most enjoyable slog ever. It started with helping me beat grief on my grandfather and role model passing, helped with struggles post detachment and relationships, kept me sane when breaking my back on Winnat’s pass, motivated when a Pulmonary Embolism nearly killed me, promoted fantastic opportunities and experiences for my children, amazing wife Sarah and myself. Most importantly I’ve created friends that are now family. Cheesily “Ohana” which is the focal point of this years race.
Ill not attest to be the greatest sportsman ever but have managed to work hard and move forward bit by bit, year after year. From struggling to a 10hr50 Ironman on a strange bike on a wing and prayer to an 8hour 51 Ironman, from hurting at a 19:05 5km to running a 2hr 25 Marathon in London . They don’t describe the journey though. The training is the part I enjoy and thrive on.
This time I’m hoping to break my own rules and push my body to its absolute limit over the next 3 months and with a little luck hit the race line in Kona with a full mind and body to race with everything I’ve got. The result is probably meaningless to others but would end a fantastic journey.
The race itself is a travelling nightmare and it’s hard to finance with it not being in this year plans until after qualification. Quite a few people have already asked to help hence this page, any contributions would be amazingly kind and very much appreciated.
Any donation big or little would be amazing but for those that would consider a larger amount Id prefer to give back in time (see following):-
I’ve coached thousands of sessions over the years and individual athletes to specific goals usually for free. I prefer to aid an honest targeted goal. From 17hour IM to a Couch to 5km run – any age but only those who have somewhere they want to go or someone they want to be . The following are available to anyone who would like:
£100 One off plan for any Run, Swim , Cylce or Triathlon
£40 1-hour Swimming analysis Open water – (Pool can be considered)
£300 Full IM / or any distance bespoke coaching (20 weeks) includes all sessions on Training peaks. Optional of trainer specific workouts - Power/HR or RPE - 1 x Initial testing on HR/PW - 1 x 30 minutes coaching analysis in the water - weekly feedback - 30-minute bike fitting session (comfort and aero).
£950 Full years bespoke coaching including - all sessions on Training peaks. Optional of trainer specific workouts - Power/HR or RPE - 3 x periodic testing - 2 x 30 minutes individual coaching analysis in the water - weekly feedback - 1-hour bike briefing and fitting session (comfort and aero)
If I’m fortunate enough to raise more than the target, then all remaining money will be used on equipment / sessions / facilities that will then be donated to NiceTri for beginners or advanced to use and meet their own dreams.
Thank you for reading and your time
