About

DAIRE FEELEY

Rás Tailteann champion (2022) — the first Irishman to win since 2008. Six consecutive years as Ireland's #1 ranked Cat 1 cyclist. 2nd at National Championships in 2021. National Series Champion 2024. Racing for Burren CC.

I hold an MSc in Elite Sports Performance and I've been obsessed with understanding what actually makes people faster for as long as I can remember. Training, nutrition, recovery, race craft — if it affects performance, I want to know how and why.

I started cycling at 12 with Donamon Dynamos, raced internationally with EvoPro Racing, and I'm still competing at the top level while working full-time and raising a young family. Everything I write comes from that reality — limited time, no shortcuts, and a genuine love for figuring out how to get the most out of what you've got.
