“Joel Filliol is one of the worlds best known and established elite level coaches, with Katie Zaferes and Mario Mola currently amongst his athletes. He began coaching in 2000, inspired by triathlon’s inclusion in the Olympics, he developed in the wake of Canadian success. He has a firm grasp on what is required to be an SLT athlete. “One thing that has become clear is the requirement for endurance, the fitness, the conditioning, and the kind of robustness to finish the weekend well. Obviously, it’s fast and furious racing, but you need the conditioning to finish the job. You’ve got to be very fit, have resistance to fatigue, and you can’t have weaknesses – on day two can you back it up across the disciplines? Those athletes that have prepared well, and have a good level of conditioning to start with, along with being able to manage the race, will ultimately be successful.”
