About Patrick
4:17 TO 2:29 MARATHONER
_edited.png)
Running has shaped my life from competing as an international junior hurdler to becoming a seasoned marathon runner and dedicated coach.
Aged 18, I broke the Irish Junior Record in the 400m hurdles and won the national senior title at 18, reaching the semi-finals at the World Junior Championships in 2010. After a decade-long break exploring CrossFit and weightlifting, I returned to running and have since completed six international marathons, achieving a personal best of 2:29 in Berlin. I'm currently training for the Sevilla marathon in February.​
​I am currently based in Amstelveen and Amsterdam in the Netherlands. I coach clients locally here and work remotely with runners across the world, from Dubai to my hometown of Cork.
​
I started my coaching journey in the UK. I worked closely with the Sports Department at the University of Brighton, One City fitness studio, and I ran with Brighton Phoenix AC. I enjoy supporting runners of all abilities on their unique journeys. Let's move forward together!​
