I started with Noel in January this year and I could not recommend him enough for anyone looking to improve and focus on their running. Noel is a very dedicated and knowledgeable individual that is always available for advice and steering you in the right direction. But more than that he is sound and very easy to chat with. I was very much a casual runner when I joined Noel with a best of 24 minutes for 5km and 52 minutes for 10km. I am now down to 21 minutes for 5km and 46 minutes for 10km. I am after completing my first half marathon and I am now in training for my first marathon next month, definitely not possible without the support and structure that I get from Noel and his weekly plans. I couldn’t recommend Noel enough for runners of any level.

So I wanted to gain back my fitness by getting back into my running. I could never manage to get myself into it so a friend of mine recommended Noel and that he would create an easy plan to help me get back my love for running. I got in contact with Noel, it was as if he knew exactly what I wanted and so he created a nice and simple weekly plan, which made it so easy and enjoyable for me to gain back my fitness and love for running. Each week I grew more fitter and Noel was always there every week to help me if I came into any problems with achieving my weekly plans. I couldn't recommend Noel any more, he is a great motivator and encouraged me throughout.

Just wanted to message to say thank you for all your help over the last 6 months. I've gone from a 45min 10k to now almost ready to break the 40min mark and that's completely down to you and your plan. I found it challenging but rewarding and I was delighted that you also took some of my feedback on board to enhance the plan as we progressed. I am also very thankful for your prompt replies on any random questions I threw your way!
Whats great is that I would recommend you to someone new to running just as fast as an experienced runner. Running is a tough sport so I think being held accountable to a plan really boosts the motivation.

When i decided to improve my running, I sourced a coach, that Coach was Noel. I could tell from our very fist conversation that he understood what i was trying to get out of myself. The plans i get form Noel are practical and thorough, always with the end goal in mind. A big plus for me working with Noel, is the frequency of communication and his willingness to listen to your thoughts or concerns.

I could not recommend Noel as a coach highly enough. If you are willing to work hard your efforts will be met with the same level of commitment and enthusiasm from Noel. If you want to improve your running no matter what level, I would strongly recommend engaging Noel's services.

I started training with Noel 6 months ago. I was in a rut running wise, always running the same distance at the same pace, expecting improvements and seeing none. Noel devised a training plan that took into account my work /home commitments, gave me a sense of accountability and set clear targets for me to train towards. I have achieved PB's for 5km, 10km and half marathon distances, which l am absolutely delighted with. I whole heartedly credit Noel with this. While, at times l may have doubted my abilities, Noels knowledge, experience and enthusiasm have helped me achieve my goals, and set new ones. I would absolutely recommend Noel as a Running Coach.

I decided to focus on improving my running during lockdown and, after some running coach research, I decided to look to Noel for support. In less than 6 months, my times over 5km & 10km have improved by +15% and we continue to chip away at these distances alongside the aim of building up to longer distances over time.
Noel’s programme varies weekly and is structured around my schedule and personal goals; it has enabled me to push myself out of my comfort zone (while not feeling under pressure) and see results. I am feeling great and haven’t been this fit in years! I cannot recommend Noel highly enough.

I contacted Noel last October 2020 because I wanted to get more structure to my training. I had been going out running and doing the same thing everyday. Contacting Noel was the best thing I done. We had a quick straight forward phone call to start no complicated stuff. Noel has brought great structure to my training and has set me some great goals to reach during these strange times we are in with no races. He has helped me reach personal bests for different distances. Perfect weekly plans and weekly contact to see how things are going. Would highly recommend getting in touch with Noel if you want to bring your fitness and training to the next level.
Donal Lyons
Thanks to Noel, I have surpassed my peak level from 2 years ago. I wouldn't of thought this was possible for a man in my mid 30s as I had regressed in recent years. I now feel like I have the confidence to push on & become even more ambitious with my targets along with getting a few PBs along the way. But that sense of belief which Noel has ingrained, is here to stay
Paul Carroll
I came to Noel over 4 years ago and asked him would he help me with a training plan for a 5k. What followed over the next 4 years was a complete change in lifestyle and mindset. In my first 5k I ran 23 minute and now my PB is 17.15. He has also coached me to 1.19 in the half marathon and 2.56 in the marathon which I never thought would be possible. I would highly recommend Noel as a coach. He's a wealth of information. Hes easily accessible and also a brilliant motivator.

Noel is a truly reliable source on the latest training regimes and always on hand with encouragement to get me closer to my goals.
