SARAH KEARNEY
Lead Endurance and Performance Coach
Successful coaching is about putting together a great program and adopting a supportive team culture. It is key to recruit athletes across all abilities, matching them to a training group that complements their ability, and that will have a positive impact on their enjoyment and development. I encourage a train to race philosophy where athletes are not afraid to have a go. Sport is not a one size fits all, we all have different strengths and weaknesses, by having a go, and trying different types of events most athletes find an event that will bring them success.
RONAN KEARNEY
Endurance Training Expert
As a coach I love working with young people because of their joy for life and their fun approach. I get much more satisfaction from helping them to succeed than I ever got from my own racing.
ANDY CROSS
Sprint Coach
Andy is our sprints coach and works across the club supporting athletes of all ages and abilities to develop their speed.
He adopts a person-centred approach to coaching where each athlete feels valued for who they are and what they can achieve.
SARAH PHELAN
Athletics and Cross Country
I have always had a love for physical acitivty. From a young age I competed on cross country and athletics. Once I had my three children and they got involved in the sport I became more interested in coaching, which I do alongside competing.
EMILY KEARNEY

Drawing on my experience racing, training and coaching in US colleges, I coach athletes from 5k to marathon, with a view to developing the strength and depth of our senior teams, and transitioning older juniors to successful senior racing.
