Testimonials
I have been working with Chris for the past 2 years and he has totally transformed my racing from an average age grouper to first season pro. Chris goes above and beyond to ensure you are able to perform to the best of your ability come race day. If you are looking for a coach to work with, I would definitely recommend Chris
I have been coached by Chris for 3 seasons now and have achieved so much from Age Group Qualification to doing my first Long Course Half Event in Mallorca last year where I took the top podium spot. Chris is a knowledgeable, patient, encouraging and professional coach and will work around real life to help you accomplish your goals.
I received a bespoke personal approach from Chris that worked both ways, Chris listened and adjusted when necessary to ensure my goals where achieved. Not only where they achieved Chris had the belief which he instilled in me to find the extra which enabled me to sup-pas my goals achieving a string of results including course records, national titles and a season of top 3 finishes. Chris was also supportive and understanding when I stepped away from competition for personal reasons. Personable, approachable, understanding and a highly skilled scientifically based approach to coaching. A great experience working with Chris, he truly cares about his athletes and wants the best for them.
Chris is a fantastic coach. Progressive, informative with buckets of patience and a great supportive/challenging style. Particularly helpful skills when injury ridden!
Chris has coached me for 3 years. Starting as a novice in Duathlon to winning 3 World Championships. Chris has been able to structure sessions based on his scientific testing and using the data to optimise my performance. Chris is both knowledgeable and experienced an coach. Someone I've fully trusted to manage my coaching programmes and I have full confidence in him to get the best out of me.
Chris is a really knowledgable guy who works with you to get the best out of you with the time available.
The man is a wizard: it took him less than 2 years to turn a time-poor working mum into a Kona qualifier! All on around 7hrs of bespoke training a week carefully tailored to me, my work and travel schedules, and my niggles and freak-unlucky injuries. Magic potion ingredients seem to include - but are not limited to - patience, honesty, flexibility and assuredness.
I've been working with Chris for almost 3 years after spending the preceding 7 either self 'coached' or spending little time with other coaches. When I first met Chris his calm, confident, athlete-focussed approach immediately stood out. The environment Chris creates is extremely supportive and motivating yet highly focussed on outcomes. Chris does everything to help you reach your goals and more - I love that racing mentality. Results for me came quickly for me and have achieved more than I thought possible, including KQ and big PBs. Every session, every training block has a purpose and going into races I know exactly the race plan - it is massively reassuring to know I have Chris in my corner come race day.
I’ve found Chris and the team so helpful this year. I wanted to find a “technical” coach because I’ve self-coached for years and wanted someone who could help me diagnose a couple of performance ‘ceilings’ and hit the next level for my races. Chris helped me make progress with a recurring stitch I’ve suffered in races and honed my running skills in particular with a focus on S&C, leading to my most successful year in racing yet, including several outright wins and podiums. Thanks team!
