Who is YOURIRONGUIDE

Based in Western Australia, Rod Marton has spent the last decade developing his high level skills in the sport of Ironman. He is a 6 time World Championships (Kona) qualifier with a top 20 finish on the big island in two of the toughest age groups, the M40 - 44 and M45 - 49. He has also qualified at 5 different races including the Texas IM (USA X 2), New Zealand (1) and Cairns, Melbourne and Busselton (Australia X3). He has represented his country twice in ITU age group world championship events (one in Australia and one in Hungary) and been his state champion over 3 different ITU distances in a single year.

Rod is also a nationally accredited triathlon coach and has a Bachelor’s degree in Education including a major in Physical Education (including bio-mechanics, anatomy and programming/training)

He has delivered a number of Ironman presentations to state level triathlon communities, local triathlon clubs and interested general pubic. His knowledge and ability to convey information makes him a rare asset to the triathlon community in helping others to achieve their long distance goals.

Rather than setting specific programs like other coaches, Rod concentrates on other key aspects of the Ironman Journey. His belief is that mental strength, nutrition, preparation, goal setting and preparation fundamentals are just as important, if not more important, than the physical training.
