Ironman 70.3 Goa and Ironman Barcelona — I coach what I've lived

I'd completed two Ironman 70.3s and thought I ate well, but with PCOD my weight wouldn't budge. Sonzal's plans are personalised to your body and lifestyle. I've lost 6kgs, gained muscle, and my recovery has never been better.

Meet your coach

Hi, I'm Sonzal Patel

For years, I watched athletes train harder, eat less, and still fall short — not because they lacked discipline, but because no one had connected their nutrition, psychology, and movement into a single plan built for them. I've raced Ironman 70.3 Goa, T100 Bahrain, and Ironman Barcelona, and run marathons across New York and Australia. I've trained in sports psychology in Barcelona and sports nutrition in the USA. That combination — lived experience and scientific rigour — is what I bring to every athlete I work with. I work with marathoners, ultra-runners, and triathletes who are serious about their performance and want a coach who has crossed the same finish lines they're chasing. My approach is holistic: food, mindset, recovery, and yoga — all calibrated to you.
