Structure

A clear roadmap from beginner to finish line. No more wondering what to do today, just follow the plan.

Coaching

Expert guidance without the complexity. Elite coaching principles, explained so they actually make sense.

05

Bex Milnes running Co-Founder

Bex Milnes

With over 15 years of triathlon coaching experience, Bex has worked across every level of the sport, from sprint distance to Ironman, and from first-time finishers to professional champions.

Having started her journey as an athlete herself, she understands firsthand what it takes to commit to the challenge of triathlon. Her coaching career has taken her into some of the highest performance environments in the sport, including working within the high-performance programmes of British Triathlon, supporting athletes on Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games pathways.

Alongside this, she has coached multiple IRONMAN and 70.3 champions across both professional and amateur fields.

Bex combines deep technical expertise with a people-first approach, working closely with every athlete to unlock potential, build confidence and turn ambitious goals into achievable outcomes.

Through The Tri Project, her ambition is simple: to help more people not just complete triathlon, but genuinely fall in love with the sport.

Jess Learmonth Co-Founder

Jess Learmonth

Jess came to triathlon a little later than most, starting in her mid-twenties whilst working full-time. She understands first-hand what it takes to balance training alongside work, family and everyday life.

Since then, she's gone on to compete at the very highest level, representing Team GB at the Olympic Games and learning from some of the world's leading athletes, coaches and performance teams. More recently, she's also experienced elite racing as a mum, giving her a new perspective on balancing high performance with family life.

Through The Tri Project, Jess wants to share everything she's learned over the years, helping more people enjoy the sport, build confidence and discover what's possible. Because for her, triathlon has always been about more than racing, it's about the people, the journey and the community you become part of along the way.

Sam Haghighat riding Co-Founder

Sam Haghighat

With a background in Exercise Physiology and performance sport, Sam blends performance science with lived endurance experience.

Starting as a complete beginner, no bike and limited swimming ability, he went on to become an Ironman in 4 months with the right structure, support and expertise provided by Bex.

Through The Tri Project, Sam is on a mission to make triathlon more accessible, less intimidating, and built around community. Because he knows first-hand: the journey is better when you don't do it alone.

Luke B. finishing his first Ironman in Barcelona First Ironman · Barcelona
"
I finished my first Ironman in Barcelona, and before The Tri Project I couldn't swim two lengths and didn't even own a bike. The best part was training with people in exactly the same position: we made lifelong friends and became a real community.

I'd always wanted to do an Ironman, but I felt completely overwhelmed and had no idea where to start. The coaching and community here are world-class, they removed all the guesswork, answered every single question, and gave me huge confidence.

FAQ

Good to know

None at all. The Tri Project is built for complete beginners, including people who've never swum a length or owned a road bike. We meet you exactly where you are and remove the intimidation from the sport.

To start: swimwear, any bike (yes, even a hybrid), and running shoes. Our education library walks you through what actually matters and what you can skip, no pressure to spend big.

We combine world-class coaching, education and community into one platform, so you get elite-level guidance at a fraction of one-to-one coaching costs, without the confusion of piecing it together yourself.

Absolutely. Plans flex around real life and any equipment you have. Most beginners train a few hours a week and still make it to their first start line with confidence.

Group sessions and race meet-ups are optional bonuses. Your personalised plan, coaching feedback and the online community are with you 24/7, wherever you train.
