Alan O’Brien, middle-distance runner from Crusaders AC, was a relative late-comer to the sport but rose quickly through the ranks of the sport to represent Ireland five times at full International level. As a late call-up to the European Team Championships in Slovakia, he was instrumental in securing Ireland promotion when he out-kicked the field…
“I have worked with Rene for the last 3 months on my running technique and training sessions and have seen great progress in my speed and endurance. Rene has gone well beyond what I was expecting in terms of feedback and advice as a coach. For any one looking to work with a coach I…

Having the assistance of Rene has helped me already in a few months reach some of my running goals. I have a solid grasp of Arthur’s methods which has been the main reason behind breaking PB’s in each of my five marathons to date. With Rene’s in-depth explanations I feel a lot wiser, but also with…
After training with René (ed: Borg) and ChampionsEverywhere for almost a year now I am constantly surprised by the improvements that I have made over the year.

It’s been a great week – 2 races, 2 PBs, 1 victory, 1 course record & some pocket money. I’m only 6 weeks into my Lydiard training programme from Rene Borg and it’s already starting to pay dividends. Most athletes know about Lydiard’s principles, but what Rene has done for me via Lydiard Foundation is…
Adrian Tucker “Yes I tried the Lydiard Marathon programme for the purpose of building a base. I had no intention of actually running a marathon off it ( I was aiming for an ultra at the time and just needed mileage). But I did feel at the end of my base training that I’d love…
