About Jonathan

I got into coaching through my own love of going long, including an attempt to run the whole ~900km coastline of Portugal for men's mental health. Along the way I learned what really gets a runner to the finish line: patient, consistent work, real rest, and a plan that fits the life you're actually living. I coach remotely and tailor everything to you, where you're starting from, what you're working toward, and the demands of your race. However big the goal, we'll get there together.

Coaching Philosophy

I believe good coaching starts with your whole life, not just your training. To train well, stay healthy, and keep enjoying it for years, everything has to be taken into account; family, work, the worries you carry, and then, last of all, the training itself. It all affects your body, so it all matters.

That's why working with me is about more than a training schedule. Together we'll look at the bigger picture: how to build a healthy, active life that your race and fitness goals fit into comfortably, instead of squeezing your life around a rigid plan. I'll meet you where you are, keep things realistic, and treat rest and everything off the road as part of the work, because it is.
