WHAT OUR ATHLETES ARE SAYING

I followed coach’s plan to the dot which meant I enjoyed every single second of the Ironman Wales day. He always believed in me and he regularly told me I would smash my 15 hours target, which I did. So I will be forever grateful to Mark for helping me achieve my dream. If you have a dream and need a little help, then I can not recommend my amazing and fabulous coach enough. If he can turn me from a fizz loving, burger loving triathlon wannabe into an Ironman, he can help anyone achieve their goals.

2 years ago my training was all over the shop. I was driving my body into the ground and i was generally more or less killing myself by doing to much. My brother told me to join up with Mark so i did and ever since i’ve seen nothing but improvement in my performance. My swimming, cycling, running and strength have massively improved. I’m 43 years old and should be getting slower but I'm actually getting faster………..I think that says it all to be honest!
