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


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.
Seven zones and one language connect every test, session and race plan.
