Testimonials

Excellent workshop in Felda on Sunday past. A wide range of useful tips, theory and good techniques. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed the Primed Coaching one day triathlon workshop. The location was great and the day covered nutrition and S&C along with the core sessions of swim, run and bike. The swim video analysis was a real eye opener giving everyone clear of ideas on how they can improve their technique and times. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend Oliver’s training sessions! We had a fantastic day in Felda Dundalk. A full on and complete day with so much information and advice on all things triathlon.

I've attended the day workshop provided by Oliver at Felda. The facilities are incredible and the day was so much FUN (and sweat!). I was there mainly for the swim analysis BUT the entire day is a lot of learning and eye opener for small things you can do to improve overal performance at triathlon.

I attended Oliver's last Tri workshop in October, I've done a few triathlons and found the workshop very informative, covering areas that I hadn't thought of before. Oliver had all the participants at ease from the outset and although we covered practical sessions in all 3 disciplines the intensity suited a wide range of abilities and fitness levels. The venue itself was very accessible and easily found. I'd highly recommend these workshops to anyone new to triathlon or anyone looking some experts tips and advice from a highly experienced coach.

Absolutely brilliant triathlon workshop. Facilities for the day are exceptional. Expert coaching from Oliver Harkin in all aspects of triathlon, from swim analysis to running form, and also cycling. In addition there is time for class room based learning and an opportunity to ask questions. I learned so much, and it was the best day. Highly recommend this workshop, you won’t be disappointed!

As a total beginner to triathlon I found the course very relax and informative day. Oliver covered all areas from swim bike run and nutrition. Oliver has had a lot of experience in this game Thanks for a great day at your Tri Workshop

I have completed two training camps this year with Oliver, Lanzarote in April and Majorca in May. The camps are a great opportunity to both meet other triathletes and spend a week full time training. I have tested last week since I returned and my Bike FTP and Swim CSS have all significantly improved. Looking forward to next year already 🙂

Just back from an excellent triathlon camp with Oliver and his team. A great training week in the sun, with lots of swims, rides, runs, craic and banter in beautiful Mallorca. Different groups mean all abilities, fitness levels and performance goals are being catered for. If you are looking to make the next step outside rainy and windy Ireland and want to be challenged in a positive, open-minded and fun environment look no further!

I spent a training week in Lanzarote with Primed Coaching in March 2022. The camp, is designed so that they are suitable for all levels, which was good for me, as I was recovering from a bout of illness and very little winter training done due to an injury. For Swim, intelligent and professional coaching was provided, with Paddy and Oliver alternating the days, so that we got the benefit of the experience of both coaches. Nothing was ever to much trouble and no question was left unanswered. A full technical review of the swim stroke was provided over the week. What we got in a week, we wouldn't have got in months at home. For Bike, the first couple of days we spent getting used to the conditions and group riding skills for rhe business part of the week. This came in quick enough... and yes there are wind and hills..nothing that can't be handled.. I'm still learning the art of bike handling and descending. I took fright on a descent and lapsed behind the group, one of the girls told Oliver I was off the back, he "found" me, put me back on his wheel and away I went. I was holding back on another, and again the wheel was offered, and away again..I was doing stuff on a bike that I never thought I could do, in a place that I never believed I could cycle in. I came home a better bike handler and descender. This camp is not just about your physical fitness, its about bringing you on, instilling confidence and self belief in you, so that you can thrive. Thats the calibre of coaching that is provided. Regardless of what was going on, nobody was dropped or left out there. Somebody always had your back and equally you had theirs. Thats the Modus Operandi of the camp. The Run..I did what I could. Thats all that was asked. It was very little, but enough as I was in rehab for the Achilles. The best part of the camp was the nights out, Paddy and Oliver know the best places to eat and the company was just brilliant. As I said above, the Primed Camps are stated to be suitable for all levels, this is true.. All you have to do is show up, be willing to take it on and Paddy and Oliver will take care of the rest... (And Paddy knows all the very best cake stops on the Island)..
