Your triathlon & running coach

My name is Inna Ryzhykh. I am a triathlon and running coach.

The main problem for amateur athletes is trying to fit the unfittable. You are juggling Ironman or marathon preparation with business, family and flights.

Template plans do not work here - they only lead to overtraining and guilt over a broken schedule.

I solve this problem. My job is to take away the daily burden of figuring out how to distribute your training load correctly.

I manage your fitness based on data: I analyse how your body responds, adjust the tasks and rebuild the week when circumstances change.

We do not log empty kilometres for the sake of app reports. Every workout has a clear purpose and leads to a result - while protecting your health and personal life.

Online coaching advantages

Managing the entire preparation

All training is managed through TrainingPeaks. I analyse volume, intensity, heart rate, pace, power, recovery and your feedback. Based on this data, I adjust the programme and decide when the workload should be increased, maintained or reduced.

A plan built around your schedule

Work, travel or family commitments should not derail the entire preparation process. I rebuild the training week so that the key purpose of the phase is preserved without trying to compensate for every missed session.

Results without unnecessary volume

I do not use workload simply to create the feeling of hard work. We develop endurance, speed and efficiency gradually, taking into account your current level, training history and ability to recover.

«She flexibly adapts to my schedule, always supports and motivates me.»

It's been five years since I started training with Inna Ryzhykh. Before that, I didn't have a triathlon coach, and I was very careful in choosing a specialist. What mattered to me:

  • Understanding that sport isn't my entire life (I have my own business, 3 kids, social work).
  • Focus on results.
  • Support for ambitious goals with a sensible approach.
  • Mutual understanding and pleasant communication.

Inna won me over from our very first meeting, and over the years she has only confirmed that it was the right choice. She flexibly adapts to my schedule, always supports and motivates me. I believe our shared goals will be achieved, and I'll enjoy the process.

«She has a keen sense of your mood and knows when to encourage you and when to let you rest.»

Read full review

Like most people, I made my first attempts in triathlon without a coach: downloaded a plan and tried to train on my own. Results barely improved. Fortunately, I realized the need for systematic work in time and turned to Inna on a recommendation.

Inna is an excellent coach. She has a keen sense of your mood and knows when to encourage and when to let you rest. Communicating with her feels more like talking to an older sister than strict supervision. A coach's main task is improving results, and Inna achieves this while maintaining flexibility.

After the first conversation with Inna, everything becomes clear. If you're unsure – just call and talk.

«A personalized plan and support during competitions help me surpass my own limits.»

Read full review

At the end of 2017, sport entered my life, and I'm glad it did. After studying a lot of specialized material, I avoided beginner mistakes and saw progress. But I knew I could do more. The answer was Inna Ryzhykh. Her experience as a professional athlete and friendly attitude made training truly effective.

Thanks to modern technology, Inna is always aware of my workouts and recovery. A personalized plan and support at competitions help me surpass myself. I recommend Inna to others!

How to start training

Goal assessment

We discuss your sporting background, current fitness, health, available training time, work schedule and chosen event. I assess whether the goal is realistic and recommend the most suitable coaching format.

System setup

We connect TrainingPeaks and your sports watch, define training zones, analyse your current data and build the first phase of the programme.

Personal coaching

You complete the sessions while I analyse the data, collect your feedback and adjust the plan regularly. Before race day, we also build a detailed strategy for pacing, nutrition and completing the distance.

Coaching pricing

The difference isn't the number of features - it's how close I am to your training.

All plans run through TrainingPeaks.
