Julian Goater Run / Bike Coaching

Feelgood Factors (Juilian Goater) is a personal fitness training consultancy designed to assist runners and triathletes of all abilities to meet their specific fitness and athletic goals.

Julian Goater has been competing in athletics, and more latterly in duathlon (run-bike-run) and triathlon (swim-bike-run) at national and international level for over 30 years. After winning two English schools titles at 5k and cross-country, Julian went on to represent England and Great Britain in long distance track and cross-country events for 12 years. Highlights included winning the National Cross Country Championships by a record two minutes in 1981, gaining fourth place in the World Cross Country Championships in the same year, and winning a Commonwealth Games bronze medal at 10k in 1982. Julian has come within a few seconds of setting UK records at both 5k and 10k, and his times of 13. 15 and 27. 34 still rank in the UK's all-time top 10 times.

Moving over to duathlon and triathlon in the early 90s, Julian has enjoyed considerable success, winning his age group at the world duathlon championships in 2001 and 2005. (In addition to his running pedigree, Julian is a particularly strong and technically skilled cyclist. )

Throughout the course of his athletic career (over 35 years), Julian has been fortunate to have received some excellent coaching, and in 1997 he started to share the vast reservoir of knowledge he had built up with other athletes. Now a fully qualified Grade 4 athletics coach, fitness instructor and sports massage therapist, Julian's training consultancy works with distance runners and duathletes /triathletes of all standards.
