TEAM OXYGENADDICT
Are you dreaming of being an Ironman?
But It feels impossible to train around your busy work and family life. Barely a week goes by without unexpectedly working late, and you’re not prepared to miss the kids’ bath times and bedtime stories.
You convince yourself that one way or another, you’ll “get it done”. You forego sleep. You train later into the evening, & earlier in the morning but you can’t do everything.
You don’t know what to prioritise. Swimming: perhaps your weakest discipline, so more time in the pool? Biking: the longest part of the race so more time on the bike? Running: Will you make it to the finish line without the run miles in your legs?
You miss a few training sessions so you “stack” multiple sessions the following day. Before you know it you’re run-down or injured. You try to train through it because you “can’t afford” to fall behind.
But progress plateaus. Maybe even goes backwards. Doubt creeps in and uncertainty takes over. You become frustrated. You lose confidence in your ability and motivation disappears.
SOUNDS FAMILIAR, DOESN’T IT?
It did for almost all of the hundreds of age-group triathletes we’ve trained to 70.3 or Ironman success over the past 10 years.
People that have completed a sprint or Olympic triathlon for fun, but want to go longer to further challenge themselves.
People who wanted to improve their performances.
And people who want to prove to themselves that they were capable of achieving a big ambition .
The one thing they all have in common?
Their training COMPLIMENTED rather than COMPETED with the rest of their life.
Listen to how Team Oxygenaddict has helped athletes achieve things they never even dared dream possible...
Welcome to Team Oxygenaddict’s
T.I.M.E. Training System
T: Test & Evaluate
Honest personal evaluation & regular testing is crucial.
You will:
Be realistic about how much time you have to train, and what your training limitations really are. If the reality is that you have 7-8 hours each week to dedicate to Ironman training, don’t kid yourself that 10, 12, 15 hours is achievable.
Train realistically to ensure training efficiency, consistent, significant progress and a huge growth of confidence. Age-groupers that achieve 100% of a 7 hour training week will progress notably quicker than their counterpart who only achieves 50% of a 14 hour week.
Test & measure progress regularly. If you aren’t testing yourself regularly in each discipline, you’re almost certainly not training at the optimal intensity. If you ARE testing yourself, but don’t know how to interpret and apply the results in your training, the purpose it serves is negligible.
In Team Oxygenaddict you’ll be tested typically every 6-8 weeks. Whether that’s a FTP test on the bike or a swim CSS test – you’ll be able to track your progress, but more importantly use the results to ensure that all future training is completed at the optimal intensity.
I: Intelligent Intensity
Your goal is to be the fastest TRIATHLETE you can be on race-day, not the fastest swimmer, biker or runner.
You will:
Use intensity intelligently in every single session, across the whole year by training to very specific intensities, across all 3 disciplines as determined by your test results. This ensures the best impact from your available training time.
Improve your bike power significantly, furthest out from your race. This builds aerobic fitness, and as race-day gets closer you’ll be able to ride further & MUCH FASTER for any given effort level.
Swim less than you think you’ll need to. That’s because relative to the overall race-day gains available, that time is almost certainly better spent improving other areas.
Three extra hours in the pool each week may knock 5-10 minutes off your Ironman swim time. But three extra hours bike training each week, would knock anywhere between 15-60 minutes off your bike time. Which would you prefer?
Not run hard or fast. Running – specifically running fast – is the #1 cause of injury for triathletes. Your aerobic fitness will be improved through our high intensity bike training, meaning there’s simply no need to run hard. You will never need to run faster than you’re hoping to run in your goal race, which for 70.3 & IM is a relatively easy pace.
The main purpose of your run training will be to condition your running muscles, without getting injured. But the most surprising part to everybody? You’ll still become a significantly faster runner
M: Mindset
A 70.3 or Ironman may well be the hardest physical challenge you’ve ever attempted, the biggest challenge is your mind.
You will:
Not worry. Triathletes often spend more time worrying about their training than ACTUALLY training. Stressed about whether they’re doing enough (or too much). Whether it’s the correct intensity. Whether the split of time across each discipline is appropriate. If you don’t have 100% confidence in your training plan, you’re going be to be wasting an awful lot of mental energy – as well as wasting your training time and effort too.
Have complete confidence that each and every training session is perfectly aligned with your goal, enabling you to free your mind to put all of your energy into actually completing your training.
Stand on the start line on race day with nothing less than 100% confidence in your ability to achieve your goals and enjoy your day. And we’ll make sure that you are.
E: Effective Effort
Training time comes at a premium. Use it effectively.
You will:
Become the best you can be by ensuring every minute of training provides the biggest possible progress towards your goal – week after week, month after month.
Always training at the precise power, heart rate or pace that ensures all training is optimised towards your goal, with zero wasted time or effort. There are no “junk miles”. There’s no “volume for the sake of volume”.
Spend every minute of every session (including rest and recovery sessions), across the whole season, progressing as effectively as possible towards your goal
“The T.I.M.E. Training System removes ALL guesswork. It’s a science. It ensures you’ll ALWAYS be training at the EXACT intensity that GUARANTEES you’ll make the largest gains possible, as quickly as possible.”
Rob Wilby, Creator of The T.I.M.E. Training System
MEET NICK POCOCK
Airline Pilot, 5x Ironman
Trained with Team Oxygenaddict’s T.I.M.E. Training System for 2+ years
Nick Pocock
“As an airline pilot it can be 5, 10 days on the road so an absolute essential need for me is that flexibility in the training plan.
I’ve been going out running and seeing myself go faster and faster at the same heart rate. And it’s because of the high intensity we do on the bike – it means I avoid injury AND it translates so well to the run
On the bike the level that I can cruise at now is 3, 4, 5 miles per hour faster than I ever could dream of doing before
The bike has allowed me to get onto the run feeling strong. It’s not even a conscious decision – just suddenly you’re off, thinking wow- look at these run legs! And it’s because of the bike”
Your Coach - Rob Wilby
Head Coach and Team Oxygenaddict Founder
The thing I LOVE MOST about being a coach?
Watching hard-working, busy age-groupers achieve things they never dared dream possible. Whether that’s completing their first 70.3 or Iron-distance, knocking hours off of their best times, or simply using triathlon as a way to transform their lives – I love it 🙂
As a triathlete myself I’ve experienced first hand how difficult it is to fit training in around busy work lives, hectic family lives, and the random curve-balls they throw your way that always take priority over training. We plan for the perfect week, but in reality it never happens.
That’s why I developed The T.I.M.E. Training System. I wanted to prove to those people – the age-groupers who get called away on business at the last minute, or can’t make it to the pool because they’re taking their children to school – that you CAN still achieve your dreams. You CAN still become faster & fitter than you ever thought possible. And IT IS possible for triathlon training to COMPLIMENT rather than COMPETE with the rest of your life.
I’ve now helped HUNDREDS of age-group triathletes do exactly that. People who were able to complete their first Ironman while averaging ~7 hours training per week. People who were able to knock HOURS off their PBs while training literally half as much as they were before.
I also work as a Coach Educator & Assessor for the British Triathlon Federation, helping to develop the next generation of triathlon coaches in the UK.
And I host the popular Oxygenaddict Triathlon Podcast, listened to by over 10,000 people every month around the world . You’ll also see my writing occasionally appear in 220Triathlon Magazine & TrainingPeaks.com (among many others)
“It’s my personal mission to make Ironman & 70.3 triathlon accessible to normal, hardworking, busy age-groupers. And to do so by providing 95% of the value of 1-1 coaching for less than half the price”
Rob Wilby, Founder & Head Coach – Team Oxygenaddict
SYBILLE SCHORM
“I have structured training from a coach who not only gives me sessions, but also outlines the purpose and idea behind them. As I had never had a coach before it took a bit of time to put my full trust and faith in Rob and his training philosophy, but now I’m glad I did!
Having access to coach Rob in the Facebook group for random questions, coaching tips and advice on tweaking my training plan when something unforeseen crops up is great.
But not just Rob – the ability to chat to and get motivation from other team members is brilliant. There have been a few times I’ve posted my turbo training woes, and straight away team mates jump on it and give me exactly the support and motivation I need to bounce back”
Sybille completed Ironman Copenhagen, smashing her 12:00 target time, finishing in 11:08!
ROGER KNIGHT
“I’ve got an easy to follow training plan that’s built around my events. I get all the support I needed to alter my plan as and when I need to, and if there’s anything I don’t fully understand all the help I could ever need is right there.
I’ve been so impressed with the feedback from the Team community – fellow team mates as well as Coach Rob – it’s made me want to do well.
Everyone in Team Oxygenaddict is on this journey together! I’ve had some dark times out for long hours on my own on the bike, but when I got back I logged onto our Facebook community to see what everyone else had been up to – which made me feel better!
And most importantly I’m getting great results! Last season I got PB’s in marathon, 5K and finished my 70.3 & iron-distance races! Team Oxygenaddict gave me structure and support to get me to the start line of my first iron-distance race in the best shape possible”
Roger recently completed his first Iron-distance race in 11:47!
GARETH PETTS
“When I started working with Rob and being in Team Oxygenaddict I was able to make some real headway in the pool and my swim times started to come down
I saw about a 14% increase in my bike FTP from the start of the year to the summer, and started to understand all the data and how it could help me train and improve.
I headed out to Kona in the best shape I could have hoped for and was so pleased with my performance out there!”
Gareth qualified for the Ironman World Champs and crossed the line in Kona in 9:48!
Trusted by many amazing & inspiring athletes.
IS TEAM OXYGENADDICT FOR ME?
We are a global team of age-group 70.3 & Iron-distance triathletes
Members of Team Oxygenaddict span all levels of ability, experience, age, location and ambition.
We have athletes who joined with no prior triathlon experience. People who were unhealthy, overweight & unfit and saw triathlon as their vehicle to transforming their lifestyle. We have athletes who are looking to take the daunting step up to become an Iron-distance triathlete, dreaming of hearing those elusive words: “YOU. ARE. AN IRONMAN!”
Last season saw several Team Oxygenaddict athletes successful in their bids to qualify to represent their country at triathlon; We had several age-group winners at events ranging from small local races through to global Ironman & Challenge long distance events.
But the results we’re most proud of? A record number of first-time finishers at Iron-distance and 70.3. Those who, despite working 50, 60 even 70 hour weeks were able to achieve the goal they simply thought impossible less than a year earlier.
The thing that every single Team Oxygenaddict member has in common? We’re all like-minded triathletes. All with our own personal goals. No egos, just an amazing friendly, determined bunch of male, female, young, old people around the globe who love being part of the triathlon world.
So whether you’re at the very beginning of your 70.3 / IM journey, or are already an accomplished athlete looking to step up your performances, we’re ready and waiting to help you!
MEET ADAM HARPER
3+ hour Ironman PB (with fewer training hours) following Team Oxygenaddict’s T.I.M.E. Training System
Adam Harper
“I work long hours during the week, commuting into London every day. The shorter sessions make it a lot easier to fit training in during the week, around work which is ideal.
I realised within 6 weeks that I’d taken a minute per kilometer off my run time, for the same effort. I didn’t understand at the time what was happening, but it was clearly working – it just seemed like magic!
I took 2 hours off my previous best Ironman bike time, and the run felt amazing – the last 10km of the marathon was my fastest of the day!”
Team Oxygenaddict sounds like it’s made for me!

MEET TIM MOORE
TIM MOORE
“The fact I’ve been able to get through the half marathon at the end of my first half-Ironman with no ill effects is proof of how well it works
I really underestimated the community aspect of the team when I joined but I’ve probably valued it as much as anything else
The bike training has really suited me because it’s difficult for me to find the time to go out for a 4-5 hour ride
My FTP has consistently gone up since I started
I can now enjoy a long ride without worrying too much about it
I was 18.5 stone a couple of years ago and thought I’d suffer in my first half Ironman, but I got through it with little discomfort, and set a half marathon PB during it too!”

MEET RICHARD FLAHERTY
Richard Flaherty
“I used to be wiped out after 11 or 12 km but now I’m running for 3 hours, getting up the next day, feeling good and going out for 5 or 6 hours on the bike
My running times have definitely improved – easy pace used to be about 6 mins per km and now it’s more like 5:10 per km for the same effort
Swimming – I was about 1:45 per 100m before, and now I’m down to 1:20s, so that’s feeling pretty good! And the bike – that’s has turned into my strength which gives me a lot of confidence when I get out of the water
Since joining team Oxygenaddict I’ve had a couple of age-group podiums, and even got my first win last year”
HOW IS TEAM OXYGENADDICT DIFFERENT TO 1-1 TRIATHLON COACHING?
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I JOIN?
- Confirmation of your membership, payment and subscription set up
- A welcome email with instructions about how to set up and / or share your Training Peaks account with Coach Rob, how to join the private Facebook group, how to access member's only content on the website and which content you should look at first.
- A link to our triathlete questionnaire where you can tell us about your experience, goal race, time available to train etc so that we can customise your training plan appropriately
The athlete questionnaire is really important and we won't be able to create your plan until it's submitted. Your training plan will then be added to Training Peaks starting Monday of the following week and you'll be pointed in the direction of everything you need to understand and interpret your plan and training sessions. Other than that it's a case of introducing yourself to your fellow team mates in Facebook and starting your training journey!
I HAVE A PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITION / INJURY - DOES THAT MATTER?
- Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition and that you should only do physical activity recommended by a doctor?
- Do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity?
- In the past month, have you had chest pain when you were not doing physical activity?
- Do you lose your balance because of dizziness or do you ever lose consciousness?
- Do you have a bone or joint problem that could be made worse by a change in your physical activity?
- Is your doctor currently prescribing drugs (for example, water pills) for your blood pressure or heart condition?
- Do you know of any other reason why you should not do physical activity?
If you answer yes to any of these you'll need your doctor to confirm you're OK to train before we can produce your training plan. With injuries, again your medical professional is the go-to person to help you understand what you can / can't / should / shouldn't do in training. We will give advice on how to alter your training schedule in line with your injuries but are not able to give medical advice
