About me

Hi, I'm Niall 👋 Founder and Head Coach at Bear Endurance.

Over a decade ago, I took those first nervous steps into running, and it completely changed my life. What started as a simple desire for fitness quickly spiralled into a passion, pushing me far beyond what I ever thought was physically or mentally possible. That journey of unexpected resilience is what drives my coaching philosophy: friendly, genuine, and focused entirely on your potential.

I believe that whether you're taking on your first 5K or planning a ultra marathon, the process should be supportive and fun.

I’m based in East Sussex, where I gained valuable hands-on experience coaching locally with Crowborough Runners. My mission is to share that knowledge and help you discover your own incredible endurance.

Some of my running highlights include:

  • South Downs Way 100 Mile

  • Isle of Wight 100K

  • South Downs Way 50 Mile

  • Maverick Jurassic Coach 50K

  • London Marathon

  • Brighton Marathon

My Qualifications:

  • LiRF Qualified Running Coach

  • UESCA Ultra Running Coach Certified
