Brian Fogarty
Senior Coach

Brian started Triathlon in 2012 after calling time on a football career which involved playing for Burnley FC and semi professional clubs around the northwest. He spent a few years just focusing on running but constant injuries forced Brian into a change.  Being a very strong minded and dedicated person the appeal to do an Ironman was very strong. He jumped in with no experience and did it. It’s was then that the love for the sport began. Years on Brian’s love and passion has grown to being his life. He lives and breaths training, racing and is now helping others reach their potential as a coach for TriCentralUK. In only 2 years of coaching Brian has helped many athletes reach their goals.  Ranging from athletes not making cut offs and in 10 months with Brian come back and finish Ironman UK in 12 hours and athletes who had the distant dream of racing in the Ironman World Championships and in less than 2 years started the race there alongside Brian. 

Brian has shown how balancing his full time job working for his Insurance Brokers and still improving his ironman performances are possible, he is now mixing it at the very top of Amateur world Ironman rankings.  

Brian has experience racing as a professional and as an absolute novice.  He has competed in 26 ironman distance races in only 8 years and raced the Ironman World Championship 6 times! He is a multiple Age group overall winner at Ironman UK and Ironman Lanzarote (2 of the hardest Ironman Courses in the world). Brian has developed a vast amount of knowledge and experience and is passionate about continuing to develop and improve both as an athlete and coach.  Brian’s training methods are focused on a strong cycling structure which have paid dividends for Brian and his athletes.  Brian has a reputation of being one of the best cyclist in the World of Ironman.  

Brian realised a personal Dream in 2019 of Winning Ironman UK.  

He is now a coach for TriCentralUk after working with Tony since 2016, We think its fair to say there’s not many who can boast a better CV than our very own Brian Fogarty, if anybody knows what it takes to succeed its him.
