How to choose

  • Qualifications, such as Triathlon Ireland, Swim Ireland or Athletics Ireland coaching awards.
  • Whether coaching is one to one, in a group or remote, and how often you hear from the coach.
  • The events they have coached people for, and whether they suit your level.
  • What equipment they expect, such as a heart rate monitor or power meter.
  • Where sessions run, if you want in-person coaching.

Endurance coaches build a training plan around a race or challenge, such as a marathon, an Ironman, a sea swim or a sportive. Many coach one to one and remotely, so a coach does not have to live near you. Clubs offer coached group sessions for a membership fee.

This is a small category, because many coaches work online or from their own sites rather than a premises. We list those we can verify from their own pages.

Questions people ask

Do I need a coach to train for a marathon or triathlon?

No, but a coach gives you a structured plan and feedback. Many people use one for a first Ironman or a swim they are nervous about.

Can I be coached online?

Yes. Many coaches here work remotely, using training apps and regular check-ins.

How much does endurance coaching cost?

Prices are rarely published. Contact the coach for their rates. We show a price only where the coach publishes one.
