# Buddy Active
Buddy Active is a London-based coaching business run by Richard Miller, a fully qualified personal trainer, Ironman coach and triathlon specialist. The business caters to individuals seeking expert guidance in endurance sports and fitness, from complete beginners to serious athletes aiming for competitive success.
Richard works with ordinary people pursuing extraordinary goals—whether that's completing their first triathlon, conquering an Ironman event or pushing physical boundaries through ultra-marathon running. His coaching approach combines professional qualifications with proven competitive credentials: he's a top 5% Ironman athlete in his age group, has competed for Team GB at world championships, and has raced extensively across international Ironman and triathlon circuits.
What sets Buddy Active apart is the coach's authentic experience at elite level combined with accessibility. Richard doesn't simply teach theory—he actively competes alongside his philosophy of helping ordinary people achieve extraordinary results. His track record speaks clearly: 10th at Long Course World Champs in Spain (2019), multiple podium finishes at Ironman events, and recent completion of a 50-mile ultra marathon (2021). This real-world expertise means clients receive training programmes informed by genuine competitive experience rather than generic templates.
The business operates with a supportive, buddy-like mentality rather than an intimidating elite coaching model, making world-class endurance sport coaching accessible to London's fitness enthusiasts regardless of their starting point.
