Bernard McCullagh

(aka Barney)

After 12 years of racing and helping others both as a teacher and triathlon coach. I created bmctri.com for athletes who want structure, clarity, results, not guesswork.

Most athletes I work with are already motivated and training hard. What they’re missing is a plan that makes sense, adapts to real life, and builds confidence week to week.

Athletes coached through BMC have:

  • Gone sub-5 in the 70.3
  • Taken 30 minutes off their 70.3 time
  • Run marathon PBs, including first-time marathons
  • Trained consistently through injuries by adjusting load, not stopping.
  • Gained confidence by knowing they’re training in the right direction.

What I believe sets BMC apart isn’t flashy sessions, it’s personalised structure, and really getting to know my athletes.

Training plans are adjusted weekly based on performance, fatigue, injury risk, and life demands, so progress stays steady and sustainable.

Through my email newsletter, I share the same practical frameworks I use with my athletes, covering training structure, race-day execution, and common mistakes that hold people back.

Training Plans

I offer bespoke training plans tailored specifically to your goals, lifestyle, and current fitness level.

The process is simple yet thorough: after payment, we’ll have a detailed zoom consultation to ensure I understand your needs, and then I’ll craft a personalised plan designed specifically for you.

Truth be told, I pour a lot of effort into these plans not just because I’m passionate about seeing athletes succeed, but because they serve as a taster of what my 1:1 coaching can truly achieve for you. It’s a chance to experience the potential of working together and taking your performance to the next level.
