IRONMAN 70.3 and full distance IRONMAN Kalmar

When I signed up for my first IM I was a bit sceptical to take help from a coach. There are loads of info on the internet, social media etc. so why not just do it myself? Looking back at it all I wouldn't have done it any other way. There are coaches, and there are coaches. Erik is the kind of coach that not only gives you a good training program to follow, but who is invested and engaged in his athlete. He has helped me with everything from small adjustments in the program, pep talks and essential information in race-prepping. Things that only an experienced, passionate coach can give you. Without these components, there is no way I would have completed all the hard work in order to perform so well in the races. With Erik as my coach during the last six months, I did not only get past the finish line to become an Ironman, but he also gave me the tools and confidence needed for me to actually be able to enjoy the race. So much, that I am even thinking about doing it again, something that I would have never even dreamed of a year ago, and for that I will be forever grateful!

During my time being coached by Erik I have donated in total 3500 kr to The Swedish Brain Foundation (Hjärnfonden), which is Another thing to be very proud and glad for. This is all due to Erik’s generous payment method, to not accept money but to instead encourage donations to Charity.

Ironman has been something I have wanted to do for a long long time. I knew it would be big and I knew the training would be full on. I moved to Sweden in 2022 so didn't really have a network to lean on, so I created a plan myself and set about clocking up the miles.

With just 6 weeks to go, I met Erik who offered to review my plan for the remaining weeks and give me some pointers. It was in this conversation that I really understood what Ironman was all about and what I needed to do in those last 6 weeks to give me the best chance of a good race day experience.

Erik's expertise and knowledge of Ironman is something else. It is both inspiring and incredibly exciting speaking with Erik. You know immediately you are in safe hands. I listened, I learned and I trusted and followed Erik's advice and recommendations. Those last 6 weeks, I believe, set me up for crossing the finish line feeling good, with a smile on my face and in 12 hours and 20 minutes. The photo says it all. I only wonder what might have been possible had I met Erik at the start of my Ironman journey.....who knows...perhaps there is another one in me :)

Shona, Ironman Kalmar 2022

Att förbereda sig för en Ironman är en lång, utmanande och rolig resa. Med hjälp av Erik och hans ”get it done”-attityd så blev den mer uppstyrd och seriös. Eriks erfarenhet är omfattande och det nära samarbetet skapade en stark accountability-känsla till min plan. Med ovärderliga tips och tricks tog jag mig till starten förberedd och kunde genomföra den tuffa tävlingen klart över förväntan.

Martin, Ironman Kalmar 2023

Erik has been coaching me during this year to reach my goal to complete the full distance Ironman Kalmar in 2023.
I did it! And without him, my experience wouldn't have been the same!
The training program has been a foundation to follow and together with Erik we have adapted it to me, my strenghts and improvement areas. He has been there during these months of training and supported me on my own level. Not only with the training concept but also with everything around Triathlon that can be confusing to someone who is a beginner.
I respect him a lot and you can nothing but admire his knowledge and experience in the sport!
That his "payment" is through charity donations gave me the chance to contribute to important Cancer research, which in itself is something to be proud of!
Once again THANK YOU Erik for helping me reach my goal!

Johanna, Ironman Kalmar 2023

Erik was instrumental to my 2022 long-distance triathlon season and fulfilling my long-standing goal to qualify for and finish the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. Throughout the year leading up to the qualifier and championship, Erik and I had a regular dialogue with clear feedback around both overall target setting, design of the training regime, key sessions to nail, as well as specific pre-race preparations, mental models to leverage, and tips and tricks to combine the program with work and family commitments. Erik is a very knowledgeable, professional, and supporting coach and was always available throughout the journey. I would recommend anyone that wants to reach their endurance sports goals to consult Erik
