1:1 coaching with Joel Filliol
For ambitious age-groupers with jobs, families and a goal that matters. The same planning and decision-making I’ve used with world champions, applied to your week.
€600 / US$700 / £520 per month · Everything included · Coached by me personally · 3-month minimum
I’ve spent more than 20 years planning seasons for the world’s best triathletes. The principles that win world titles (consistency, smart periodisation, good decisions under pressure) work just as well on 10 hours a week as on 30.
My job is to make every one of your hours count, and to get you to the start line fit, healthy and confident. I write your plan, I review your training, and I answer your messages. Nobody else.
Why most age-groupers plateau
Generic plans that ignore your job, travel and sleep
Too much intensity, not enough consistency
Nobody adjusting the plan when life gets in the way
Race-day decisions made without a strategy
Coaching fixes all four. That’s where your next PB comes from.
I read every application and reply within 24 hours.
What’s included
A full season plan, built around your races and your calendar
Training written in weekly blocks, with a premium TrainingPeaks account included
Daily review of every session you upload
Unlimited messages by email or text, plus phone and video reviews
Your own power, heart-rate and effort zones
Plan changes whenever life changes, as often as you need

Someone who holds you to the work, and cares how it goes
All of this for €600 / US$700 / £520 a month. No add-ons, no tiers.
How it works
Apply (5 minutes). Tell me about your racing, your goals and the hours you have each week.
I reply within 24 hours. If it looks like a fit, we book a short call.
Discovery call (20 minutes). We talk through your season and I outline how I’d coach you. Nothing is agreed until you’re sure.
Start training (within 7 days). Your season plan and first weekly block arrive in TrainingPeaks, and I review every session from day one.

Questions athletes ask
Who is this for?
Committed age-group triathletes, from first 70.3 to world championship qualification, who want a coach and not a template. You don’t need to be fast already. You need to be ready to do the work.
Will I be coached by you, or by an assistant?
By me. I write every plan, review every session and answer every message myself.
How long do I commit for?
The minimum is 3 months. That’s the shortest time in which coaching makes a real difference. After that, coaching continues in 3-month blocks.
What equipment do I need?
A GPS watch and a power meter on the bike. TrainingPeaks Premium is included.
How quickly will you reply?
To applications, within 24 hours. Once you’re coaching with me, I review your sessions daily and reply to messages the same day.
Can we meet in person?
Yes. If you’d like to, we can arrange to meet in Girona. Ask about it on your discovery call.
What does it cost?
€600 / US$700 / £520 a month, with everything included. There are no tiers or add-ons.
