About Zone3sports

Zone3sports is an Ottawa based triathlon coaching service that has achieved amazing success at the long distance triathlon.

Rick Hellard, Head Coach (only coach), has done it all and shares his knowledge and experience with his clients and keeps them from making mistakes they don't need to make. His workouts are productive, interesting and fun. As a result, Zone3sports clients avoid mistakes, want to do the workouts and therefore can't help but improve. 

Rick's philosophy is very simple: he believes that consistent, systematic and progressive hard work pays off, whether that means working hard to improve swim technique or hard work on the hills pedaling, people won't improve without putting in the time and pushing themselves beyond the comfort level, but doing so in a proper sequence.  He also believes there is no substitute for experience, and he has lots of that and is happy to share it with his clients. 

Zone3sports' goals for every athlete are equally simple:

1.     keep them healthy;

2.     make sport a part of their life, not just a phase;

3.     get them to the start line healthy, rested and ready to go;

4.     get them to the finish as quickly as possible.

If you share these goals, and are looking for a coach that knows his stuff and how to put it to good use, then contact Rick Hellard and continue to explore the site!
