Coaching for the Compassionate Athlete
Meet Coach Jon
As an ethical vegan since 2001, I help plant-based runners pursue their endurance fitness goals without sacrificing their compassion for animal rights, their health, and the environment. I am a UESCA certified running coach as well as a professionally licensed massage therapist. I like to keep things science-based with a proven approach to training, recovery, and injury prevention.
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 goals.

Pursuing your fitness goals while following a plant-based diet has never been easier. Every major grocery store in most parts of the world have an abundant supply of nutrient dense vegan friendly foods to choose from.
There's no reason to sacrifice your ethics in order to achieve your fitness goals. In fact, eating a healthy plant-based diet combined with proper training and recovery will get you there even faster.
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.
