"Daz, I can remember the time when you and I were pounding round the track at the annual (un)civil service athletics competition and splashing through the mud at the equally (un)civil cross country event! Now, I am sure you agree, that was the pinnacle of our sporting career!
World Ironman Champion 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011 Multiple Ironman Winner 2008-2010 "Since consulting Darryl about my nutritional plans my weight has steadily dropped and my running strength improved. This has come about without extra training or by eating less, it's simply been down to an improved and more balanced diet."
Winner Burnham-on-Sea Aquathon 2008, Triathlete Target-Fitness Nutritional Analysis Target Fitness assessed my goals 4 years ago. We worked together to create a training plan, turning me from a mid-pack athlete, to one capabale of winning events. I started off as an 8-9 minute 400m swimmer and within 2.5 years, I was under 6 minutes. Under the tutelage of Darryl Carter, I've achieved many highs in all three sports Winner of Broxtowe Duathlon 2010 and 2011 Derby Triathlon Club Champion 2010 and 2011 Derby Triathlon Summer Series Champion 2010 and 2011 2nd in age group Outlaw 2010 2nd Aston-on-Trent 10km 2009 Bronze age group medal at the British Middle Distance Champs 2010 3rd Shelton/Derby 10km 2011 3rd Grantham 29.3 UltraRace 2011 3rd Bosworth Duathlon 2008 and 2010 4th Forestman 2009, 2nd in age group Age group winner Carsington Duathlon 2010 With 2 children, a wife and a job to juggle, Darryl has eeked the most out of me, and my available training time. Without hesitation, I'd recommend Darryl to all my friends when asked for a coaching recommendation. Triathlete Coached by Target-Fitness "In June 2003 I did my first ever triathlon at Ongar leisure centre. I remember half way through racking my bike this strange looking bloke with blond hair put his bike next to mine. I was 6th, but he won the race - his name, Daz Carter !
Fast forward 5 years to July 2008. We are racking bikes at the same race again. This time though, it's IM Austria."
Coxed-4 Team National Rowing Champion (2001, 2002), Triathlete Coached by Target-Fitness "I chose Darryl as my first coach since retiring from competitive swimming nearly 20 years ago after reading of his personal achievements in Triathlon, and also digesting the general advice he had generously given via the TriTalk.co.uk forums.
Swimming Ranking: 3rd in 50m, 6th in 100m Freestyle (English Masters), Triathlete Coached by Target-Fitness
"I asked Darryl to examined my nutrition and general diet. After trying many times to lose weight , he advised me on simple effective changes in my diet , to lose the weight without cutting down on what I eat. The outcome of this is now being at a healthy weight and also a stronger healthy athlete."

"During the last nine months that I have worked with Darryl I have seen huge improvements in all three disciplines, especially though in running and swimming.
Darryl gives lots of in depth advice, is always at hand when I have a question and his training plans are never boring.
In contrast to other training plans I have used and other coaches I have been with I always look forward to what Darryl will have in his plan for me for the following week.
He provides some very testing stuff but the improvements I have made show me that it is all worth it.
Darryl has also provided help and advise for nutrition and pre race prep which has been very beneficial.

"Darryl has got me motivated to train consistently and start beating some long standing PBs.
I'm looking forward to my training as I know it is focused to helping me get quicker! Darryl's race pedigree is clear, which made it an easy choice to choose him as my coach.

"Qualifying for The Ironman World Champs in Hawaii was always more of adream
than a realistic goal but it became a reality at Ironman UK this year thanks to Darryl and Target Fitness.
A 2nd place finish in my age group and 25th overall was as result I didn't think was possible and I'm in no doubt
as to where the credit should go. His knowledge of the sport and how to get the best out of each athlete is first class.
His genuine enthusiasm isinfectious and inspiring and his holistic approach and careful guidance hasbrought me PB's
in all three disciplines.With a family and demanding job finding the time to
train can be a challenge but Darryl managed to organise and structure the weekly plan to
suit all my commitments and I would have no hesitation in recommending him, I only wishI'd gone to him sooner."
