Dean Ryan Coaching

Fantastic experience: I have been with Dean the last couple of months,Along the way he has helped me achieve Personal bests in both half and full marathon training, His knowledge experience and dedication made it possible for me to achieve my goals.I would highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Excellent training plan produced by Dean, primarily to build leg strength for running. Sessions were varied and focused and saw great results. The app used was excellent for keeping track of progress and Dean was always in contact to make sure the training was relevant. Would highly recommend and I will definitely be back to him in the future.

Fantastic experience: Dean is an excellent coach.His delivery of the programme along with his own experience is second to none.He was always at the end of a phone if there was ever a query.I could not recommend Dean enough to anyone of any level,be they beginner or elite runner.I thoroughly enjoyed the programme.

Fantastic experience: I started training with Dean on short notice in late 2022 in prep for my first marathon (decided only a few weeks out off the back of an adventure race). His attention to detail was second to none in getting me over the line on the day. We agreed after the race to start training full time from January onwards, since then my performance has improved in every aspect (road,trail and adventure races) and the programme always allows me to arrive ready, and peak on race day. From 5k to 50k races I've achieved every goal set out so far this year with PBs and my overall race finishing positions have improved hugely. I couldn't recommend Dean enough whether you're a person just starting out or an athlete looking to achieve more from your training/sport.

Fantastic experience: I first reached out to Dean 3 weeks ago to help me in preparation for the beep test for the Garda Trainee application. I was a member of a gym but had not been running for over 2 years. I was in a panic, but Dean kept me calm, talked me through the programme and provided beneficial feedback to improve my performance. Most of my programme was completed virtually, however if I needed assistance or guidance Dean was available to answer queries or questions. Dean also provided me with one on one training on the week of my beep test which was really beneficial more-so for my confidence. I was very nervous for my fitness test and especially for the beep test. I referred to google search to find running coaches in Kildare and I cannot express how glad I am I found Dean. He was very professional helped with my fitness and also my mental attitude towards the test. I cannot thank you enough Dean.

Fantastic experience: Dean recently ran a 12 week block of S&C beginners classes for our young athletes in Brothers Pearse AC. Under his guidance, the athletes learned so much around the basics of S&C and, by the end of the block and under Dean’s expert guidance, have improved enormously in terms of which techniques to use and how to apply them. The techniques are very practical and through repetition and also through variability from session to session, he kept the athletes highly engaged and motivated and there was absolutely no drop off in attendance from week to week. It’s fair to say that the athletes actually grew to really enjoy the sessions and their dedication was testament to the program that Dean put together for us. Also, on the coaching side, we have learned so much that we can put into practise going forward. I would highly recommend this program for any athletic or sports club that wants to introduce their athletes to the basics of S&C. Dean is a pleasure to work with and his clear passion for the program made it much easier for us all to buy into it.

Fantastic experience: Dean led a 12 week Strength and Conditioning session with young athletes in our athletics club. Dean was professional, knowledgeable and highly skilled. He provided our athletes with sessions that were tailored to the specific demands of track and field events while adding a new and much needed dimension to their training. All athletes expressed how much they enjoyed and benefitted from the sessions. Dean had a fantastic rapport with the athletes and has left them with a bank of resources they can continue independently. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dean to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Dean has been doing both speed & strength training sessions with my 2 teenage sons for a couple of months & they have both noticed great improvements in the sports they play. They really enjoy their training sessions with Dean & find them so beneficial. Dean is very professional, reliable & pleasant to deal with & I'd highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Dean organised 3 athletic coaching sessions for our GAA,club they were really informative and we got lots of tips and ideas to bring back to training Dean was very professional and a pleasure to work with.

Fantastic experience: Dean has been working with my 15 year old daughter for the past two months, she is a keen sports person with a passion to succeed especially in GAA. Dean has really helped her improve not only physically but mentally. I couldn't recommend Dean highly enough. Holly looks forward to each session. She can see her progress week on week.

Fantastic experience: Worked with Dean for 6 months training for a marathon. His wealth of knowledge and professionalism is second to none. His quality of training and overall hunger for you to achieve your own personal goals is top class. Honestly could not recommend him enough. The best in the business in my opinion. Looking forward to working with him in the future.
