Pretty Gritty Triathlon Coaching is a Woman’s only Tri group based in Yorkshire, set up by Level Two British Triathlon Coaches, Katie Gill and Emma Stoney. We are passionate about sport and particularly triathlon for the positive impact it has on our bodies and minds. However we know that it doesn’t always feel accessible to all women who want to participate and perhaps they even feel a little daunted starting out on their own triathlon journey. We have spoken to women who have looked into joining their mixed local run clubs, cycling clubs and tri clubs but have felt a little intimidated to join them initially.
As a result, our aim is to help women venture into the world of triathlon by delivering relevant sessions across the three disciplines which are welcoming, non judgemental, attainable and most importantly, fun.
Many of our women are complete novices hoping to soon participate in their first triathlon, while others have participated in various events and wish to improve their performances and train as a group. Some of our women just want to keep fit and swim regularly with other women of a similar ability.
Although we are a relatively new venture, we are growing really quickly which seems to represent the huge interest women have in training together and motivating each other. Our method involves setting up a series of sessions which we call ‘training blocks’. These are based around a successful triathlon season, concentrating on skills, technique, base and race fitness depending on the time of the year. We provide weekly swims, and on alternate weeks, a bike session or a run session catering for novices through to improvers.
Women empowering other women to do well, is at the heart of our ethos. All you need is a willingness to turn up and train with us, a smile on your face, and together we’ve got this!
