Ronan Pangie is a competitive distance runner and coach whose approach is built from lived experience, not theory alone. His running journey is openly documented through his ronanruns YouTube channel, where he shares training cycles, setbacks, breakthroughs, and the day-to-day realities of chasing high-level performance.
In a single year, Ronan took himself from a 20:51 5K to 16:33, a transformation driven by disciplined mileage, smarter training structure, and a deep focus on efficient movement. That rapid progression didn’t come from shortcuts—it came from learning what actually works, what causes athletes to plateau, and how to train consistently without breaking down.
As a coach, Ronan has applied those same principles to others. In just five months, athletes he’s worked with have dropped over three minutes in the 5K, proving that his methods translate beyond his own success. His coaching emphasizes clarity: athletes understand why they’re doing each workout, how it fits into the bigger picture, and how to adjust effort to keep progressing.
Ronan specializes in helping motivated runners build real fitness, not just short-term speed. His philosophy centers on intelligent mileage, strong fundamentals, and long-term durability, so athletes don’t just peak once, but keep improving season after season.
Through Primal Motion Coaching, Ronan works hands-on with athletes who are serious about improvement and willing to trust a process that’s been tested in real training and real races.
Once an overlooked runner who didn’t even make varsity, Ronan transformed his performance dramatically through dedication, hard work, and a deep commitment to smart training. In just over two years, he improved rapidly and reached national qualifying times— a testament to what’s possible with the right plan and mindset.
Ronan has studied everything about running: efficient mechanics, progressive training, recovery, pacing, and mental toughness. He’s taken what he learned from pushing himself to the limits and turned it into clear, step-by-step coaching programs for others.
