Who are Precision? Our story, values and expertise

History

2010-2017

In October 2010 Will founded a new team ONE Triathlon RDS.  Starting with only a handful of athletes the team grew to around 150 members with an active contingent of around 80 athletes, of which over 40 have achieved selection for Great Britain Age Group Triathlon and Duathlon teams at World and European level from which a number have medalled.  Furthermore 2012 saw the first National honours for the team with the women taking bronze at the National Relay Championships.

The team focused heavily on the World Championships in London 2013 for which we achieved 19 representations in the Great Britain AG team.  More than any other team has ever achieved. Currently the squad is continuing to send a large number of representatives to race for GB AG or at a high level across all disciplines from Sprint to Ironman.In 2014 the squad was voted Triathlon Club of the Year at the 220 TriathlonAwards. The core values of the team are performance, team spirit and community.  The squad has a fixed structure of sessions designed by Will which are constantly being added to as the team develops.  All athletes are encourage to give their all to the sessions they attend but also to support each other on all issue multi-sport related.

2018-2023

In 2018 we rebranded our development squad to Precision Race Team. The values and high standard of performance and competition remain the same. We consider the squad a centre for Excellence - a place where the top 5% within their age groups can thrive and work together to push and support each other. Weekly training sessions together and squad races throughout the year keeps our athletes motivated and centered around training in a competitive and supportive environment to develop the highest calibre of amateur triathletes. Over the last two years we have enjoyed considerable success with becoming UK and EMEA IRONMAN 2019 No. 1 Team.

Optimised Training Through Tridot & Rundot

Optimised Training is not a traditional training approach. It uses entirely different data, technologies, methods, and metrics to generate your training program.

As an athlete, there’s arguably no more consequential performance-related decision than determining how you’ll invest your precious training time. This decision is the largest determinant of your race-day results, training time required, and likelihood of training-related injury. (Optimized Training™ is available through TriDot and RunDot.)

Optimised Training helps you "do the right training right" to deliver your best results in less time.

So, what is “Optimised Training” and how is it different from other training options that you see marketed as individualised, customised, scientific, data-driven, dynamic, and even “powered by AI”?

Let’s start with what Optimized Training is NOT.

What Optimised Training is NOT

  1. Optimised Training is not a traditional training approach. It uses entirely different data, technologies, methods, and metrics to generate your training program.

  2. Optimized Training is not simply the computer automation of a traditional training approach. There are many training apps popping up that offer cheap, computer-generated training. Some are even “powered by AI”. These are merely the computer automation of the traditional training method—not Optimized Training.

  3. Optimized Training is not a replacement for a coach. Optimized Training designs training for athletes with or without a coach. TriDot’s Augmented Coaching™ and RunDot's Augmented coaching services are available to coaches who want to focus their time on their athletes and leverage Optimized Training to deliver the highest quality training for their athletes…
