Our coaches

Paul has coached for more than seven years, specialising in multi-sport performance and endurance swimming across all triathlon distances — from first sprint to full Ironman.

His approach blends proven coaching methods with a sharp technical eye, and a belief that the best results come when athletes feel supported as people first.

Catherine focuses on building confidence, consistency and resilience in triathlon. She understands the juggle of training around work and family commitments and creates sustainable programmes that fit real life.

She works with athletes at every stage, from those preparing for a first race to experienced Ironman competitors.

Karen is passionate about helping athletes discover what they are capable of, regardless of where they start. A Team GB Age Group athlete herself, she champions sustainable habits, improving movement and trusting the process through the inevitable setbacks.

She is also a certified menopause coach, supporting athletes to keep training and racing strongly through every stage of life.

Niall brings more than 15 years of coaching experience from cricket, trampolining and rugby league. He discovered triathlon during Covid and particularly enjoys supporting people who are new to the sport.

His philosophy is simple: coach the person, not just the athlete.

Mark has competed in triathlon and multisport for over 14 years. He represents Great Britain at Age Group level, has raced at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships and has qualified for the Boston Marathon.

He is a strong advocate of strength, mobility and stability training as the foundation for staying injury-free and racing well.

Greg competed in combat sports and represented England internationally before turning to endurance sport. He joined Trilab Racing in 2024 and draws on his own experience of learning swim, bike and run from scratch.

His mantra is that consistency beats perfection, and he especially enjoys working with newer athletes.
