AKHA Endurance

Coaching built for ambitious athletes with full lives.

AKHA Endurance coaches age-group triathletes, runners, cyclists and swimmers in Dubai and remotely. You want to improve, you want structure and you want your training to make sense, without feeling one hard week away from injury, exhaustion or burnout.

The coaching brings together two perspectives: a clinical lens focused on long-term athlete health, and a performance lens built through elite sport and more than a decade of coaching age-group athletes worldwide. Built to last. Built to be fast.

Your plan, your life: no generic templates, with regular feedback and weekly adjustments.
Better together: group sessions that keep you engaged, accountable and sharp.

Individualised programming

Delivered through TrainingPeaks, adjusted week by week

Training built around your life, your goals and your capacity to recover, updated week by week based on how you're responding rather than a rigid template. No generic plans and no guessing: regular feedback, weekly adjustments and training that evolves with you.

Work with Mel (runners and triathletes) or Rory (swimmers, cyclists and triathletes), remotely or in person.

Group sessions

Swim squads, track sessions and group rides

Train with good people chasing the same standard: swim squads, track sessions and group rides with expert coaching, clear structure and a community that understands what you're trying to do. Friday mornings at the beach, with coffee at BookHero Cafe afterwards, are part of the routine.

Training sessions, team races and socials are all on the AKHA team calendar.

Training camps

Smaller groups, coaching that stays personal

Step out of your routine and train with purpose: focused training in the right environment, real progression, and time around athletes who care about the process as much as you do.
