§ 02 / Method

How the coaching works.

Four stages. The same loop every block. The coaching only gets sharper.

01

Assess

Onboarding call. We map your goal, training history, available hours, strengths and limiters. Baseline testing if needed.

02

Plan

Your block is written from scratch. Intensity distribution, key sessions and recovery built around your week, not a template.

03

Coach

Sessions land in TrainingPeaks. Notes on the why behind each one. Message anytime when life or legs need the plan to flex.

04

Refine

Weekly data review. What worked, what did not, what changes next. The plan keeps adapting to the athlete.

§ 03 / Knowledge

Training science. Zero fluff.

The thinking behind the coaching. Open, free, and footnoted.

Protein Is the Constant. Carbs Are the Variable.

You train most days with under 24 hours between sessions. Protein stays the same. Carbs decide how tomorrow goes.

From Scraping Through Races to Winning Them

Not a four week transformation. A coaching story told over months, mostly in John O'Halloran's own words, ending in a first win in years at over 50.

Do the Most Obvious Thing

When you're starting out, the biggest gains are the cheapest ones. Close the tabs, get on the bike, and do it again tomorrow.

Indoor vs outdoor cycling
03 · Training

One Hour Indoor ≠ Two Hours Outside

Indoor cycling is harder than outdoor. That is proven. But the 1:2 conversion ratio is lazy and wrong.

§ 04 / The Coach

An endurance
coach who
still wins.

Evidence Based Endurance is led by Daire Feeley — an endurance performance coach who has guided European Championship medalists, Commonwealth Games athletes, and a full spread of professional and amateur riders. And he is not a coach who stepped off the bike to shout from the roadside: he has been Ireland's #1 ranked Category 1 cyclist for the last seven years running.

01
European Championship medalists
Athletes coached to the podium on the continental stage — where marginal preparation is the difference between a medal and a plane home.
02
Commonwealth Games athletes
Programmes built for riders performing on one of the biggest multi-sport stages in the world, against the best in their nations.
03
Professional & amateur athletes
From full-time pros chasing contracts to working amateurs chasing a first podium — the same evidence, scaled to the athlete in front of it.
04
Ireland's #1 Cat 1 cyclist — 7 years running
Seven consecutive seasons at the top of the domestic rankings. The coaching is tested every week under a race number, not just on a spreadsheet.
#1 Ranked Cat 1 Cyclist
in Ireland · 7 Years

The philosophy is simple: read the research, race the bike, and only prescribe what survives both. No fads, no copy-paste plans, no training principles that fall apart the moment a real week intrudes. Every athlete works, has a life, and has limited hours — and the plan has to respect that. That is what we build.

§ 06 / FAQ

Common questions.

Who is this coaching for?

Cyclists of any level who want a plan built around their goal and their week. From first-year racers to Cat 1 contenders — the principles scale, only the prescription changes.

Do I need a power meter?

Not for Foundation. Performance and Elite work best with power, but we can structure around heart rate and RPE if needed. We will discuss this on the onboarding call.

How is the plan delivered?

Through TrainingPeaks. Sessions appear day-by-day with full instructions and notes on the intent of each. You complete them, the data syncs back, and the review loop begins.

What if my week changes last minute?

Message the coach. Real life happens — shift work, family, weather, illness. The plan flexes around you, not the other way round. That is the point of 1:1 coaching.

How long until I see results?

Most athletes see meaningful change inside 8–12 weeks. Fitness adapts slowly. That is why all plans run on a minimum 3 month commitment.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes. Many athletes start on Foundation and step up to Performance as their goals sharpen. You can change tier at any monthly billing cycle.
