Triathlon Training Camp in Goa: 9 to 11 October 2026
Train on the official IRONMAN 70.3 Goa bike and run course with Kishlay Rai. This 3-day race simulation camp covers open-water confidence, pacing, nutrition, transitions, and race-day execution.
Kishlay Rai completed his first IRONMAN in 2018 while racing with a broken wrist. Since then, he has gone on to complete 17 full distance IRONMAN races, qualify twice for the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona 2024 and Nice 2023, and earn AWA Gold Athlete status.
What truly sets his coaching apart, however, is the calibre of professionals he works with. From IAS officers and Naval commanders to surgeons and corporate executives, Kishlay coaches individuals who cannot afford inefficient training or generic plans.
Every athlete receives a personalised coaching approach built around real life, including work schedules, travel commitments, recovery, sleep, and race goals. Nothing is copied from a template. Every decision is made with purpose.
For working professionals who want to complete an IRONMAN without compromising career, health, or personal life, this is where the journey begins.
“I don’t train athletes who have nothing else to do. I train people who have everything going on — and still want to finish an IRONMAN.”— Kishlay Rai
These are professionals who needed structured coaching that fits demanding lives. Open any card to read the complete testimonial without leaving this page.

His availability, clarity in guidance, and deep technical understanding have been invaluable throughout my preparation.

“He does not just coach for race day; he helps you become a better version of yourself.”
“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. I instantly loved his approach with these values. On practical front, he is a coach who is available 24X7 for his students, never understood how he manages this with his own rigorous training routine. Personally for me, it is not just the race he prepared me for, I am a better human after my training. Another beautiful thing about training with Kishlay, he will make sure your every workout provides just the right amount of challenge which makes it fun and drives improvement. Whenever I felt any doubt starting from which gear to buy, to my own personal opinions about the amount I wanted to spend on particular stuff, he was available for support. He will ask for daily feedback on every workout and make sure every effort you make builds up into progress. He is a coach who will live and feel your targets as his own. 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.”

“Structured coaching and open-water sessions built confidence, race execution, and discipline across all three disciplines.”
“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, including my first lake swim, played a crucial role in building confidence for race day. Overall, the coaching approach, personal guidance, and continuous feedback helped me grow as a triathlete and execute my races with discipline and clarity.”

Personalised Training Plans
Every training plan is designed individually based on work schedule, travel commitments, recovery capacity, and available training hours. The coaching adapts to your lifestyle instead of forcing you into a rigid template.

Training Built for Busy Professionals

Complete Endurance Support
Swim, bike, run, strength, recovery, and nutrition guidance are integrated into a single coaching system. Everything works together through one structured plan and one point of accountability.
Results That Matter
Athletes coached by Kishlay have qualified for World Championship events, completed full distance IRONMAN races, and achieved personal best performances while managing high responsibility careers and demanding schedules.
Built for Real Life
Coaching Designed for Busy Professionals
Most athletes coached by Kishlay balance demanding careers, family responsibilities, business travel, and limited training time. The coaching system is built to create consistent progress within real world schedules, not ideal conditions.
Training plans are structured around work pressure, travel schedules, meetings, and recovery demands. The goal is to build consistency without disrupting professional performance.
Civil Services Professionals
Flexible structure for high responsibility roles
Athletes in administrative and public service roles often deal with unpredictable schedules and high responsibility environments. Coaching is designed to remain flexible while maintaining long term progress and accountability.
Doctors and Specialists
Sustainable performance improvement
Recovery, fatigue management, and sustainable training loads are prioritised to help medical professionals improve performance without compromising health, energy, or work demands.
Working Beginners
Confident progression from zero base
Many athletes start with no endurance sports background at all. With the right structure, consistency, and guidance, even complete beginners can progress confidently toward their first triathlon or IRONMAN 70.3 finish.

FAQ
Questions Before You Book? Here Are the Answers.
How many hours per week does training require?
Most athletes train 8–12 hours per week. Kishlay will map your actual available hours before building your plan. If you have 6 hours, the plan is built around 6 hours. Quality and consistency matter more than volume.
I have never done a triathlon. Can I still work with Kishlay?
Yes. Several of Kishlay’s athletes started with no prior triathlon experience. If you can swim a few laps, ride a bicycle and walk or jog — you can start. The plan builds from wherever you are, not from where you think you should be.
Is this online coaching or in-person?
Both. Coaching plans are delivered online and work for athletes anywhere in India or abroad. In-person coaching and camps are available in Goa. Many athletes combine online monthly coaching with one or two in-person camp weekends per year.
What does coaching actually cost?
Pricing depends on your goal, race timeline and the level of support you need. A free 30-minute consultation call will give you an exact quote with no obligation to commit.
I work 50–60 hours a week. Is this realistic for me?
Three of Kishlay’s athletes are IAS officers with 60+ hour work weeks. One is a Naval Commander. Another is a surgeon. The coaching model is built specifically for people whose careers cannot be paused. The training adapts around your professional life — not the other way around.
What happens if I miss a week of training or travel for work?
Plans are adjusted in real time. You message Kishlay, he updates the plan. There is no penalty for missing a session. The goal is sustainable progress over months — one missed week does not derail a 24-week plan.
How far in advance should I start coaching before my race?
For a 70.3: minimum 16 weeks, ideally 24 weeks. For a Full IRONMAN: minimum 24 weeks, ideally 32–36 weeks. For beginners targeting their first sprint or Olympic distance: 12–16 weeks. The earlier you start, the better the result.
What if I decide coaching is not right for me after I start?
There are no lock-in contracts. You can cancel at the end of any month. Kishlay will also be honest with you during the free consultation if he believes coaching is not the right fit at this stage.
Your Next IRONMAN Starts with One Conversation.
