Success Stories Archive - Focus On Fitness

At a Waterford Triathlon Club open day I first met Martin and I can honestly say it’s the day my life started changing for the better. As part of the open day Martin gave a talk about training for triathlons, duathlons, running, cycling and strength and conditioning. His knowledge and enthusiasm for training were clearly apparent and I knew he was the person to contact if I was going to start this triathlon journey.

Thanks to Focus on Fitness I have received great enjoyment from the sport and the training and to top it all I have had lots of success and a number of podium finishes in duathlons and won lots of age group prizes both in Triathlon and local road races. I won my age group in both the National Duathlon Championships & National Half-Ironman.

I know without a doubt that I would not have achieved a fraction of what I have without Martin's support and guidance. If you are willing to put in the work I guarantee he will help you to reach your goals. Taking that first step is always the hardest part but trust me if you do it could be life changing.

Having done a few sprint distance races I felt I needed some direction in my training so I got in contact with Martin Kirwan of Focus on Fitness. And it has been a great journey! With Martin's help and Guidance I completed my first half Ironman in 6hrs 25m.

If you want it……Work for it! This is the philosophy at Focus on Fitness and is one of many profound pieces of advice Martin Kirwan has passed onto me. I still remember the journey home from Blarney after winning our first Invacare Paracycling Time Trial in June 2013. This was my first race with Martin...

By following Martins training plan and with regular meetings with him I could see I was getting stronger and fitter, even though at times I didn’t see the bigger picture he did and he kept me focused on the end goal.

Through Martins personal involvement in my training, observing and tweaking elements as the year went on, my 2015 season consisted of me consistently knocking 7-8 minutes and sometimes more off the times I had posted the previous season and up to 14 minutes off the road race times.

Martin's training programme has been excellent and I have seen major improvements in all three areas of swimming, cycling and running, but in particular running which has seen me take 20 minutes off that first 10 km race I did.

Huge thank you Martin for all the support and your super plan to get me so well prepared for the Half Ironman event.....absolutely thrilled to have completed it. Never thought a year ago that I'd be able to do anything like this!

Kate

Initially I was going to Martin for gym and weights sessions as I wanted to lose some weight. After a while we then started running training and that’s where my journey began with “Focus on Fitness”.

David

Martin completed an initial fitness assessment and from there he tailored made a training plan to meet my individual needs. Since working with Martin I have gone from running 9:00min miles to 6:30min miles and I have taken an hour off my half ironman time.

Amanda

Martin's background and knowledge in sport and fitness has helped hugely with the technical side of my training and I can already see the improvements. Martin and I have to be attached by a string while running, this can be hard at times, but our partnership has clicked and we are very smooth together.
