My Story
My name is Liran Lahav (L²).
I am a dedicated and experienced triathlon coach who works with athletes from all over the world through online coaching. Allow me to share a bit about myself and how my journey in sports began.
​
At the age of 5, I started my athletic journey by immersing myself in the world of karate. For 16 years, I dedicated myself to the discipline, training rigorously and developing my skills. This dedication led me to represent Israel in international karate competitions, where I had the opportunity to showcase my talent on a global stage.
​
Throughout my karate career, I participated in multiple Israeli championships and experienced the thrill of victory. The pinnacle of my karate journey came when I achieved the prestigious titles of European Open Karate Champion and World Karate Champion. These accomplishments served as a testament to my unwavering commitment and determination.
​
Following my successful karate career, I sought out a new challenge and found myself drawn to the world of triathlon. The allure of combining three demanding disciplines - swimming, cycling, and running - captivated me, and I decided to embark on this exciting adventure. For the past 12 years, I have lived the triathlon life as an Israeli Elite long-distance triathlete.
​
I have raced in a wide range of triathlon events, spanning various distances, from sprints and Olympic distances to Ironman 70.3 and Ironman races. the prestigious of my triathlon career was Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, where I proudly crossed the finish line. I have also qualified for two Ironman 70.3 World Championships, further showcasing my consistent performance and dedication to the sport.
​
Fueled by my passion for triathlon, I pursued a deeper understanding of this incredible sport.
I became an Ironman-U certified coach, enabling me to guide and mentor athletes on their triathlon journeys.
Additionally, I expanded my coaching expertise to include long endurance runs and marathons, recognizing the importance of developing athletes' overall endurance and strength.
​
Furthermore, as a certified Mental Trainer for athletes, I understand the critical role that mindset and mental fortitude play in achieving success. I am dedicated to helping athletes develop the mental resilience and focus needed to overcome challenges and perform at their best.
​
Aside from my athletic pursuits, I hold a Bachelor's degree in political science, which has enriched my perspective and provided me with a well-rounded understanding of the world.
