Case study – Nick Frost

I approached Toby to help me train for a Half Ironman.

The training has landed during the autumn and winter months, which is my busiest time of year at work, a lot of times with a six-day work week. I knew I needed something more realistic than the training plans I kept finding online.

Toby’s approach has been exactly that. He’s built a programme that works around my schedule, focusing on quality sessions rather than trying to cram in volume I just don’t have time for. He’s also made me realise how important recovery and stress management are — something I definitely wasn’t thinking about before.

Injury prevention has been a huge part of the process too. The resistance training plan Toby set up is all about strengthening and protecting my joints, so I’m not just getting fitter — I’m staying injury-free. Whenever I have questions or need help with technique, he’s right there on the app with videos and advice. Knowing I’ve got that level of support makes such a difference.

With a couple of months to go until race day, I’m feeling stronger and more prepared than I ever expected. I’m already thinking about what challenge I’ll tackle next — and I know I’ll be calling on Toby to help me do it.
