“I have been working with Donncha since the beginning of my Ultra endurance career. He has given structure to my training both in person and through online coaching. It is such a weight lifted knowing that each day is planned for me. It gives me a routine in times where it is difficult to have one. He has always worked with me on what I want to achieve in the sporting arena. And has never said that something is impossible. And he is there with advice and guidance when I can’t come to a solution. Overall I have found him so easy to work with and incredibly professional from start to finish.”

We've dealt with everything from injuries and setbacks to getting back into training and he has never steered me wrong. He has opened my eyes to the importance of recovery and mobility which will help me so much moving forward. Before the first lockdown in March, I never ran more than 10km. Since then, we've completed 4 marathons, two 50kms, two 50milers, and one 100km run. I couldn't have done any of those without his encouragement and help.”
Read More“Donncha has been coaching me for close to a year now. He's kept me motivated throughout the COVID 19 pandemic, kept me training even when there was no where to go & improved my performance consistently. Donncha gave me tailor made programs that fit around my social & work life effortlessly. He took into account strength & conditioning, cycling, swimming & running, rest periods & even created race days at a time when there was none. His training plans, advice and encouragement got me through injuries and got me fit and strong enough to complete my very first Ironman. We are now working towards improving my running to get a 3hr30 full marathon and improve my performance in Cork Ironman 2021. CANT WAIT.”
Read More“I never enjoyed running prior to starting properly in April, it was part of my sport so I had to run. Looking back at the way I used to run it's no wonder I didn't enjoy it. I had no structure. To start with I couldn't do 5km without stopping, fast forward to October and I ran my first marathon. Donncha’s knowledge & understanding of training as well as the human body is second to none. He was able to explain to me exactly what I had to do and more importantly why I was doing it. To have a coach that understands both the endurance side of training & also the strength side makes for an all round program to prepare your body for whatever your goals are. I am now addicted to running and am preparing for another marathon in 2021 under Donncha’s guidance.”
Read More“I’ve worked with Donncha for a couple of years and could not be happier. I came to Donncha with persistent knee and ankle issues that had prevented me from running. Not only did Donncha help me recover, but he gave me a program which allowed me to run and exercise my way to recovery. Since then, I feel stronger than ever, I have achieved multiple running goals and I am working with Donncha to tackle more ambitious goals. Donncha brings a friendly, personal approach to each session. We have worked both in-person and through online sessions and the standard of service is fantastic. I would highly recommend Donncha to anyone regardless of fitness level. Whether you are overcoming an injury or training for your most ambitious fitness goals.”
