Coach Rav's Story
Our head coach Rav Dighe’s life has been all about triathlon and bringing the best out in others ever since he first became involved in the sport in 1982.
Rav recalls: “One of my greatest inspirations was Dr. Lamm from Battle Creek, Michigan, where I lived —the first person I knew who had raced Ironman Hawaii. Seeing someone from my world make it to Kona made the impossible feel within reach. It left a lasting mark on me—shaping my understanding of endurance, commitment, and quiet excellence.”
Since racing the Chicago Triathlon in 1984, he has participated in 100s of European, UK and international events, including 20 full Ironman events. His racing highlight came in 2016 when we had a chance to race at the Ironman Hawaii World Championships. Life had come full circle!
With coaching certifications from British Triathlon (Level 3 High Performance), Ironman University, TrainingPeaks (Level 2), and more, Rav is one of the most experienced coaches around.
He has supported the Triathlon England GoTri/Swim Bike Run programme and the East Region Committee alongside sitting on Tri-Force Juniors’ committee.
