About Rachel

Rachel is an athlete and certified VDOT and Ironman U coach based in Singapore, helping runners and triathletes reach their next level, whether that’s chasing a new PB, rebuilding confidence after injury, or simply finding more joy and purpose in training. I’ve learned that the most powerful results come from a blend of structure, science, and self-belief. My coaching combines Jack Daniels’ VDOT methodology with real-world experience training and racing. Every plan I build is data-driven but human-centred. I focus not just on performance metrics, but on mindset, nutrition, and recovery. I know first-hand that thriving as an athlete means more than hitting numbers. It’s about showing up consistently, learning from setbacks, and discovering how strong you can really be. I work with athletes from all backgrounds: beginners, returning runners, and competitive age-groupers; offering both in-person and remote coaching. My goal is to help you perform with purpose, train with confidence, and enjoy the process of becoming your best self through sport.

Description

Fueling isn’t just about calories, but about confidence, trust in the habits, recovery, and performance. Together, we’ll review your current nutrition habits, race-day fueling, and daily recovery strategies. You’ll get a realistic, sustainable plan to optimise your training and energy levels. My priority is that you leave with a sense of clarity and knowledge that restriction is the enemy. This session blends science and simplicity, giving you the tools to train hard, recover fully, and feel strong every day.
