“Rory coached me from absolute novice to half Ironman in 6 months. He was kind, understanding and motivating and always understood when things needed to be flexible! He was always on hand for advice regarding training and nutrition and I couldn’t imagine doing the journey without him! Highly recommend Rory for getting you to the finish line!”

“I initially met Rory for a 1-1 swimming session, which was utterly transformative. I then started working with him for all of my training and race prep. I set PBs in my 5k, 10k, and half marathon. I also managed to take almost seven minutes off of my Olympic distance triathlon time and achieved a 2nd place finish at the Scottish championships while doing so.”

“I really enjoyed working with Rory last year as I built up some consistent riding and racing in prep for the GBDURO gravel race across the UK. I got some great results throughout the year, including 3rd at the Scottish Gravel championships. As I also had a full-time job, it was sometimes difficult to fit in lots of training - Rory was patient and had great communication to work around my schedule”

“Rory’s triathlon experience is vast and so valuable to someone looking to really advance within the sport. The small details he shared were just as important as the main training blocks. I found the sessions were varied and targeted towards my A Race and his communication was great. He always catered to my program when life/work got in the way. Rory is your man if you are looking to seriously improve your triathlon performance!”

“Working with Rory has been transformative. I’ve seen significant improvements across all three disciplines. Rory’s coaching is a perfect balance between pushing limits and knowing when to dial things back. His triathlon experience has not only helped me improve physically but also given me a better understanding of race strategy, recovery, and how to balance training with life’s demands. He’s been instrumental in helping me reach new levels in my racing.”

“Thoroughly enjoy being coached by Rory. I love the fact that he puts in the hours himself and isn’t giving me training plans and advice from a book - it is first hand experience. He therefore knows what pressure each session is putting on my body and can tailor my week accordingly. My individual disciplines are all progressing as are my race results and confidence. I know he takes pride in seeing these gains for me and sees it as a win for him too.”

“Working with Rory over the past six months has been nothing short of transformative. Coming into training as a complete novice, this was not only my first ironman 70.3 but my first triathlon since I was a teenager. Rory is an exceptional coach who’s consistency, attention to detail and genuine passion for the sport made all the difference. Rory ‘s coaching style is incredible methodical and tailored. He knew exactly how to bring out the best in me physically. The result? A top 10 finish in my age group and the best fitness of my life.”

“I can’t recommend Rory enough. Since working together, he has been incredibly thorough in improving my swim technique, offering detailed feedback that made a huge difference in my performance. I really enjoyed his training plan leading up to my triathlon last year. It was ambitious but also well tailored to my own skill level.”

“Rory is the most detailed coach I’ve ever worked with. Having done triathlon for 11 years, I’ve worked with a number of different coaches and none have given me the depth of feedback that Rory has. Rory coached me to personal best times in my 400m swim and 5km run, and helped me achieve results at 70.3 Venice-Jessie and Age-Group World Championships that I am very proud of. I can’t recommend Rory enough.”

“After a few years away from triathlon, I started working with Rory to get back into the sport and prepare for an Ironman 70.3. Training with Rory online has been exactly what I needed — every session is tailored, focused, and fits around a now busy work schedule. His approach has helped me train smarter, stay consistent, and build fitness without burning out. I’m feeling stronger, more motivated, and excited to see what I can do on race day and many more races to come.”
