Meet Coach jon
Hi! I'm Coach Jon.
As an ethical vegan since 2001, I help runners, cyclists, and triathletes, pursue their endurance fitness goals without sacrificing their compassion for animal rights, their health, and the environment.
As your coach, my goals are to:
- Help you stay injury free
- Give you the tools you need to have consistent training
- Provide the best recovery methods for your rest days
- Prescribe the needed strength training that most runners lack
- Hold you accountable and keep you motivated
- Be available to answer any questions you may have along the way
I remember the struggles I had when I first decided to get into running. I was constantly injuring myself. I didn't know what type of running shoes to wear, how to increase mileage properly, or even how to pace myself. All of my previous endurance experience came from competing as a cyclist, and I soon realized that running was a very different discipline. I want to help you avoid the same mistake I made when I was starting out.
As a father and a small business owner, I know that your time is valuable. Therefore, I want to make sure you get the most effective training sessions for your time commitment.
I want to help you achieve your running, cycling, or multi-sport goals.

Why Online Coaching
I've worked with athletes locally and in person for many years. Although in person coaching can be very beneficial for my clients, it also can be very expensive ($100 to $180 per session), it creates time restrictions for both my clients and myself, and it only allowed me to work with a handful of clients at a time.
Online coaching has many more benefits for the athletes I coach and myself. It allows me to work with clients from all over the world and to provide them with quality training plans, education, motivation, healthy eating habits, injury prevention, and recovery.
Not to mention, starting at $50 a week, it's a fraction of the price of on location training and coaching.

Cycling
Cycling was my first love in endurance sports. As a former certified USA Cycling coach with decades of experience in racing and long distance cycling, I want to help you reach your goals. I specialize in helping clients train for long distance charity rides and/or tackling their first 100 mile ride.
Triathlon
I love helping others train for their first triathlon. Let's face it, training for a triathlon can seem overwhelming but, It doesn't have to be. Once upon a time, I was a newbie just like you. Training in three sports at once can be complicated and raise a lot of questions. That's why I'm here. Let me take care of the planning, answer all your questions, keep you motivated, and get prepared for race day.

Ready for a Runcation? I offer a five day training camp in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The White Mountain National Forest is a lure to trail runners, hikers, and backpackers from all over the world. As most Appalachian Trail thru-hikers will tell you, it is one of the most scenic areas of wilderness on the east coast. We'll venture out for some long hikes, trail running above the clouds, and cool dips in crystal clear rivers, as well as your chance to run the course the US Mountain Running National Championship.
The Mount Washington Valley has a few local eateries that offer plant-based options. You are welcome to join me for a warm meal and a cold beer after a hard day of training or explore the area on your own.

Join me for a five day trail running camp in beautiful Arizona. Phoenix has some of the best trail running and vegan restaurants in the United States. We will have daily running, yoga, strength, and recovery training. You are welcome to join me for a meal or two each day at a local vegan or vegetarian restaurant.
With mountains just a few miles from the center of Phoenix you'll get to enjoy breathtaking views of the downtown skyline from the summit of Camelback Mountain and South Mountain. South Mountain is located on the largest city owned park in the United States. We'll also travel out the east valley for a run in the incredible Superstitions and a visit to Canyon Lake.
For those looking to escape the city for a few hours, there will also be the option to head out to the west valley for an evening soak in one of the few hot springs Arizona has to offer.
