About Endurance Lab

Sports Science Made Simple

Endurance Lab connects coaching, performance testing and education into one system for endurance athletes, companies and teams.

Founder & Head Coach

Tiago Dias

I started Endurance Lab to bring coaching and sports science closer together. A test should give you more than a number, and a training plan should help you understand why you are doing each session.

Originally from Portugal and based in Ireland, I work with runners, cyclists and triathletes with different backgrounds and ambitions. Some are preparing for their first event; others want to improve their performance over longer distances.

As an endurance athlete myself, I understand the challenge of fitting training around work, family and everyday life. My approach combines sports science, coaching experience and regular feedback to build training that suits the person.
