Online Triathlon Coach: 1-1 Coaching Personalized by a Real QT2 Coach
Direct answer
QT2 Systems is an online triathlon coaching company. Your training is built and adjusted remotely by a real QT2 coach, who personalizes it to your Critical Power and Critical Speed test results, how you are recovering, and what is going on in your life. QT2 athletes have earned 300+ Kona qualifications, and 1-1 Coaching for triathlon starts at $350 per 28 days.
Built for athletes who have already crossed the line
You have finished races. You know how to train hard. What you want now is a coach who looks at your data and your week and makes better decisions than a static plan can. That is what QT2 online coaching is for: serious athletes looking to take their performance to the next level and get the most out of themselves.
How QT2 coaches personalize your training
- Your intensities come from your testing. Bike zones are anchored to your Critical Power and run zones to your Critical Speed, calculated from multiple maximal efforts rather than a single threshold test.
- Your weekly load comes from StressLogic. Your coach decides how much training stress to apply each week, looking at training stress and life stress together.
- Your coach adjusts as you go. When your performance, recovery, or execution call for it, your coach changes the plan. A person makes the decisions; software handles the paperwork.
- Two athletes with the same numbers get different training. Critical Power is the starting point, not the whole system.

- Coaching is delivered remotely. QT2 coaches are located all over the country.
- Your training lives in TrainingPeaks. Both 1-1 levels include TrainingPeaks Premium and partner discounts.
