Who is the coach?


I'm Andrew, aka Fitness Goose; an ultra running personal trainer who pretty much lives to help people achieve their goals. Not just body goals, but health goals, fitness goals, and goals that take people further afield.

Whether it's personal training sessions to help a first timer to get comfortable in the gym, or a running plan to get a 5k park runner to undertake their first ultra adventure, I work closely with you to create a plan that suits your life and your plans.

One thing I don't do is offer anything from a copy and paste programme. From day one I'm here throughout your training journey, be that through 1-1 motivational talks over video chat or developing new training strategies to break a running PB. I'm with you all the way to the finish line.

Andrew Moore

I am a UESCA qualified running coach, a qualified personal trainer, a qualified strength and conditioning coach & group fitness instructor with an internationally recognised qualification - (European Qualification Framework (EQF) Level 4 – the highest fitness instructor standard in Europe).

I have worked with over 250 runners from beginner to running, beginner to 5k, getting into trail running, running programs covering distance from 3k to 50k races, and trail/ultra runners running in races from 50k to 200k.

I enjoy working with first time gym users to elite athletes in areas such as muscle development, hypertrophy, increased strength & maintenance of desired goals. I have coached and trained over 120 individuals on a 1-1 basis in a gym environment.

I am a seasoned runner with experience of competitive tracked & field - when I was a young man - and now I am a long distance runner training athletes from Ireland and beyond into their first runs to their first ever ultra marathons.

Belief

I believe that there is no point reaching goals, if you cannot sustain/maintain those improvements/gains.

Whether it be bringing a runner to their first marathon, or their first ever 5k. I don’t train people to hit a goal and then stop. Everytime I work with someone I always believe that I am their coach for life. We are investigating where we want to be 6 week, 6 months, 6 years and even 60 years from now.

The idea that you must train at 110% in every session is another mistake. The majority of my own training sessions are working at ranges from 60-80% with a few special occasions were we push the limits. To achieve improved performance you need correct intensity, volume and the correct loads. Quality programming will allow you accelerate this.

I can’t type all my belief’s here.
