Triathlon Coaching

    Allie Park-Crowne is the founder of RedAlert PT. Launched back in 2015, Allie has helped her clients achieve great success. Recent highlights include, Ironman Hawaii World championship qualifications and gold medals at European Championships as well as many Ironman and 70.3 1st, 2nd and 3rd podium placings.

At RedAlert PT, we take a different approach to every individual athlete when it comes to triathlon coaching.

Triathlon, for some, is a very daunting sport to get into. As a mum, wife and owner of three lively dogs, I have high levels of patience, compassion and understanding to help the most shy, low-confident and novice triathletes out there. 

However, as a person who started out in the industry by running outdoor classes and boot camps, I am more than capable of being very strict and as demanding of athletes as they need me to be.

Many people come to me having followed training plans for many years and reached a plateau in their progress; they are very frustrated that they can’t quite perform at the next level. This is where tailored training plans can really help you take your performance to new heights.

My current squad of athletes includes everyone from Kona World Championship qualifiers & high-level age group athletes competing for Team GB podium spots at European and World Championships to complete novices looking to complete their first sprint triathlon. 

Dr Allie Park-Crowne trains a RedAlert PT client on a bike during Triathlon Coaching session.

During our initial consultation, we will discuss your personality and requirements to tailor the training style used to suit your needs.  We will then set you up on ‘training peaks’, an app-based software that tells you when and how training needs to be completed each week.  This can be synchronised to Garmin (and some other brand) smartwatches so the sessions autocomplete and turn green once they have been completed, giving me all the data I need to see such as pace, cadence, power, heart rate etc.

These interactive plans also allow your watch to communicate with you during the session and tell you to go faster / slower / lower HR / higher cadence etc.

Other Coaching Services

We not only support triathletes, we also coach runners, cyclists, duathletes, aquathletes and swim-runners.

Drop us an email if you want more info on any of the multisport or single sports disciplines. Several of our squad members train for lots of different discipline events across the season.

We also offer FTP testing and Biomechanical running analysis with gait assessment:

FTP – £58 one-time fee

FTP testing using a Wattbike is the gold standard in power testing.  This test will determine threshold power that can be used to plan your future bike sessions to accurate threshold levels.

Please note, the one-time fee may be waived for plans equal to intermediate level or higher if used as one of the allocated 1:1 sessions.

Biomechanical Running Analysis – £75 one-time fee

A biomechanical analysis and running gait assessment is performed either in person or online using video footage from a treadmill session.

For the in-person session, we film you on-site at our studio or a gym/home location where you can access a treadmill or running outdoors.  Your running technique is analysed from the video footage using software specifically designed for this purpose.  A functional movement analysis will also be conducted for the in-person sessions.  This process allows us to identify and help resolve any specific weaknesses and inefficiencies that could lead to injuries or prevent you from running efficiently/faster.

The online version of the analysis is performed over Zoom for your consultation and guidance on how to video from a treadmill you have access to. Videos are then submitted and analysed by your coach to write your report.

Both the online and in-person versions of this analysis are followed up with a full written report and pictures of your analysis for future reference.

Please note, the one-time fee may be waived for plans equal to intermediate level or higher if used as one of the allocated 1:1 sessions.
