WELCOME
Starting in such a tough sport like triathlon can be very daunting, perhaps even intimidating, especially in Northern Ireland where the weather can be unpredictable. We remember how it felt when we first took up the sport of triathlon - it was frightening. How do you train for three sports? How do you get changed in between? How do you keep going for so long? How do you eat? What do you eat? What equipment do you need? Seeking guidance from a swim coach or a run coach can really help ease those initial fears and provide a clear path forward.

Arran McKee
Since becoming a triathlon coach in 2013, I have gained extensive knowledge about triathlons, the training required to condition the human body for the rigors of endurance sports, and the diverse individuals I work with. One of the most significant lessons I've learned is about the unconquerable human spirit and the incredible achievements that people can accomplish when they fully commit and believe in their goals. As an IRONMAN Certified Coach based in Northern Ireland, I also specialize as a run coach and swim coach, helping athletes reach their potential.
