MEET our COACH
I'm Paul Robinson and I've been living and breathing triathlon for over 30 years.
​
My love for triathlon began whilst watching my father chair our local tri-club and travelling together to races across the UK supporting, participating and marshalling at sprint, olympic and full iron-distance events. This seeded my enjoyment of watching athletes push themselves and succeed.
​​​
After 15 years of competing at standard distances, I explored the world of 'ultra-endurance' completing longer and longer events, culminating in my 2024 success in the Arch to Arc 'World's Hardest Triathlon'.
​Since my Arch to Arc success, I have decided to take on the next part of my sporting journey and utilise my many years of endurance training and racing experience to help other athletes achieve their own dreams.​​
