About Us

I started my journey in long distance endurance sports over 30 years ago back in 1993. I was training martial arts and was looking to increase my stamina and fitness levels. And so I started running.

I soon realised I enjoyed running more than I did martial arts, so I pursued my interest in running and joined a running club, Blackburn Harriers. I ran for approx 5 years with Blackburn and then at the age of 30, I snapped my cruciate ligament which forced me to stop all sports for a good number of years.

Fast forward to 2011 and the incessant call of running couldn’t be ignored any longer. I started to run again and quickly found the passion for getting faster and stronger again. I was entering races, doing well and even winning some so I re joined Blackburn Harriers for a second time.

In 2016 I was starting to pick up niggles and so I decided to switch over to Triathlon to help with cross training and to keep injuries at bay. It hasn’t been easy to switch and the hardest discipline I have found is cycling. I have worked with many coaches and have a wealth of experience in all sports that I can share to make you the best at Swim Bike Run.

Client Testimonials

"Reaching out to Conrad was straight forwards and hassle free. He made the time to get to know me, and my goals for my upcoming race before laying the foundations for a really successful day. His experience and knowledge is great and I managed to exceed expectations with my result."

Josh Finch

Marathon

"Having worked with Conrad for a number of months. His guidance through a string of b goal races to get me to my a goal was invaluable. I stood on the start line with confidence in the previous months work, and results, and ran my first marathon in close to three hours."

James Parker Thompson

All Distances

"I worked with Conrad for a number of months building up to a half marathon. I'd previously been trying to set my own sessions, and own training structure but had plateaued. A variety of sessions and intensity got me in the best shape I've been in for a number of years and got me a result I could be proud of and work with as a solid foundation."
