Hi, I'm Chris.
I’m a qualified triathlon coach with 12 years of experience, having coached everyone from complete beginners to Ironman age-group podium athletes. My coaching philosophy is centered on efficiency, ensuring no training time is wasted. I’m dedicated to helping athletes maximise their potential by focusing on smart, effective training.
About Your Coach
Chris provided a great route map for me through the usual challenges which occur prior to any event: work, illness, family etc, and adapted my sets and sessions without any drama.
He supported these changes with reassuring words that I was still making the progress required, not to panic and trust the process.
Training for an Ironman can be a lonely activity and anexperienced knowledgeable supporting voice through that journey was invaluable tome ultimately achieving my objective.

Gordon Knott, Efficient Endurance Athlete
"My training has become much more targeted and I feel a greater motivation for my sessions than I have ever done before.
I have definitely shown a significant progression and I couldn't be happier with my recent race performances."
Abbie Dickens, 1:1 Coached Athlete
"I used an Efficent Endurance 3 month training plan. I found this super useful and without it I don’t feel I would have made the improvements I have.
It provides you with a super detailed plan of each workout session and why you are doing it.
I will be training with Efficient Endurance again this month and definitely will be again in the future."
Dan Ponder, Efficient Endurance Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan
