Phil yer boots! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the brim! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phil Finnimore is an Australian living in Byron Bay, formerly in Singapore, which is when I first started working with him to get his training plan sorted, whcih must have been a good 7 or 8 years ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that time we got him ready for two World Gran Fondo Champs, snagged a win in his age group at the Tour de Bintan, even managed to meet in person when he came down to Hualien with his wife – always lovely as a ‘long-distance’ coach to meet my clients in person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He took a break from coaching for a year or two with some health issues, but got in touch a few months back, looking to get ready for the 2024 Tour de Brisbane. Coming from a period of relative inactivity, we got him on the Ol’ Z2 for a while, whilst also keeping an eye on improving his climbing ability, as the TdB has 1,239m elevation over the 112km, and it’s almost all packed into the last 20km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What was so good about this training block was that we had a clear go at the whole way through – no form wobbles, no illness, no lack of motivation – nada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, his fitness improved rapidly and he managed to get to his 2021, pre-illness numbers, and then beyond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He managed to finish the Tour de Briz in just under 4 hours – the stated goal – and got an astonishing 92 PRs along the way! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not one to focus on age but, has to be said, Phil is the ripe young age of 75. Incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wonderful stuff! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
