IRONMAN Thun, Switzerland: 14:30:30. Kishlay does not just coach, he will make sure you become the best version of yourself by upholding the values of not only sports, but life in general. Triathlons are not just events for him, it is a spiritual journey making one better with each stroke, pedal and stride. On the practical front, he is a coach who is available 24x7 for his students. Personally for me, it's not just the race he prepared me for — I am a better human after my training. Every workout provides just the right amount of challenge which makes it fun and provides improvement. After having decided to do a full IRONMAN, the best thing that happened to me was my engagement with Coach Kishlay without whom the results were impossible.

Mumbai Marathon 2024, IRONMAN 70.3 Goa 2024, IRONMAN Cairns 2025. Training under Coach Kishlay has been an exceptional experience. The combination of structured online coaching and open-water acclimatisation sessions helped me progress significantly across all three disciplines — swimming, cycling, and running. I developed a strong understanding of hydration, nutrition, pacing, and race-day strategy, which enabled me to achieve my goal of completing my races confidently and efficiently. During the training program, I recorded my fastest half marathon, completed multiple 7+ hour rides for the first time, and successfully finished two full-distance Ironman swims in training. The dedicated open-water sessions played a crucial role in building confidence for race day.
