What a fab coach – completed IM Hamburg is 13:14 and couldn’t have done it without Jon. Listened to all things I had to say and provided a manageable training plan that fits around a super busy work week – working 60+ hours some weeks, but training still seemed manageable, efficient and effective.

Finished Ironman Hamburg in 12:23 and couldn’t be happier. Huge thanks to Jon for getting me there. The training plan was solid, the support was always there, and all I had to do was trust the process. It worked. Highly recommend if you’re looking to level up your tri game!

I really enjoyed working with Jon while training for my first Ironman. Before starting with him, I was training way too hard and would have definitely burnt out. Jon brought structure, accountability, and an endless amount of knowledge to my training schedule.

There were times when I felt like I wasn’t doing enough to prepare, but I kept trusting the process. With Jon’s guidance and plan, he got this “fat man” down the red carpet in 12:03.

I couldn’t recommend a better coach.

Over the past two years, working with Jon has been nothing short of transformative for me as an athlete. When I first started, I couldn’t swim more than 1500 meters, had never ridden a road bike, and my running experience was limited to just two marathons. Fast forward to now, and I’ve completed Ironman Wales, one of the most challenging courses out there, and I was on track to finish Ironman Barcelona in under 12 hours before an unfortunate injury forced me to pull out during the run.

Jon has been the driving force behind this incredible journey. His expertise, encouragement, and ability to tailor training plans to my needs and goals have been remarkable. He broke down what seemed like an insurmountable task into manageable steps, helping me build confidence in each discipline of triathlon.

Swimming went from being my weakest discipline to a strength, thanks to his technical guidance and structured sessions. On the bike, Jon helped me develop the endurance and power necessary for long-distance events, starting from absolute scratch. His run training plans balanced performance with injury prevention—even though I faced setbacks, his support and adjustments kept me motivated and progressing.

Beyond the physical training, Jon has been a mentor in mindset and preparation. He taught me how to stay focused, adapt to challenges, and trust the process. The camaraderie and dedication he brings to coaching have made this journey not only successful but also incredibly enjoyable.

Unfortunately, we have had to part ways, but I cannot recommend him enough. If you’re looking for a coach who can turn ambitious goals into achievable realities, I couldn’t recommend Jon more highly. He’s had a profound impact on my triathlon journey, and I’m excited to see how others thrive under his guidance.

The March camps have been amazing – sunshine, great company and a fantastic training environment. Jon structures the week to take into consideration the prep. needed to confidently attack the Ironman build up. His technical knowledge is outstanding and he is always at hand to pass on really useful information that has given me so much confidence, and has ultimately allowed me to achieve back-to-back IMW finishes.

Jon’s had a huge impact upon my Ironman journey and is someone who I’d highly recommend.

Thank you Jon, you are awesome!

Mallorca Triathlon Training Camps was one of the biggest highlights of my Ironman 70.3 preparation!

Coach Jon’s approach was amazing – he balanced pushing me to my limits while providing unwavering support.

His patience and clarity in explaining techniques helped me significantly improve my outdoor biking skills, which was crucial for the race!

The post-camp training program Jon designed was also fundamental in maintaining my momentum. His personalized training plan focused on nutrition, recovery, speed work, and endurance, keeping me motivated as I prepared for the event!

Overall, my experience under Jon’s guidance was pivotal in equipping me for the Ironman 70.3! I highly recommend Jon for anyone looking to sharpen their triathlon skills!

I enjoyed a fantastic week of highly personalised training with Jon, tapping into his wealth of experience ahead of tackling IM Barcelona in October. Mallorca was the perfect backdrop for an intense 20 hour training week and I left having received a real fitness boost and super motivated for the challenge ahead.

A few highlights:

Bike: Jon has excellent knowledge of the island and planned a series of challenging but scenic rides ranging from 100 – 160km. He tailored these to my race profile and provided a number of pointers ranging from riding technique to heart rate control, delivered alongside a number of great life stories that made the rides even more enjoyable!

Swim: This was an area where I felt like Jon really added value. His video analysis was incredibly helpful, identifying a number of areas for improvement and then prescribing a series of drills to work on them. We trained at a fantastic 50m facility and also had the opportunity to do a few open water sea swims where Jon again offered a number of race tips based on his experience.

Run: I had the opportunity to do a brick run after each of our rides. Tough in the heat but Jon taught me a lot about the benefit of planning nutrition / hydration ahead of the run off to help manage heart rate on the run.

Nutrition: In addition to providing all of the necessary nutrition / supplements to fuel our rides, Jon taught me a huge amount about race planning and recovery and this was an area where he really opened my eyes to the benefits these bring.

Race planning: Jon took time at the start of the week to sit down with me and help plan our training to fit my race profile. I left feeling far more prepared about when and how to hydrate and take on nutrition and he also had a number of war stories to share from his own experience and tips on what to do / not do on race day…!

All in all a really enjoyable week in the perfect surroundings and with great company – would recommend to others looking for a fitness boost ahead of race day.

The swim analysis, followed by technique practice, was transformative for my swimming. Throughout the week, we received nutrition guidance and plenty of advice on preparing for an Ironman.

I left the camp feeling highly motivated and confident about my next Ironman. The accommodation was fantastic, and the food selection was outstanding. I would definitely recommend it!

The week I passed in Mallorca was so well organised between hard and less training and with recuperation periods. The weather was excellent. The roads we travelled were amazing. After the 6 days of training I could feel my legs ready for the goal of a 70,3 Ironman next month.

If you want to progress your experience in triatlhon combined with good laughs this is the trainingcamp for you.
Jon, the coach himself has a lot of experience and shares with you his genuine passion. He knows perfect cycling routes on the island. You can ask him detailed questions about nutrition, training intensity and race strategy.
On top of that you will have an in detail swim analysis with a session that includes corrections in the pool.
Once again many thanks for a great week of training.

Thanks a lot for this amazing training camp! This week, I improved so much in swimming, downhill cycling, learned a lot about nutrition, training on heart rate, and most importantly, had a lot of fun training with Jon and the others and seeing so much of the island. I will definitely come back next year and am very excited to continue with the individual coaching with Jon!

Logistically perfect triathlon training camp, I really loved it! The training facilities are excellent – nice hotel accommodation (with excellent breakfast and dinner options), with a 25m swimming pool and a large and secure bike garage. Well-structured workouts, great bike rides, flexible for all levels. Coach has individual approach to each participant and adapts the training to the exact needs, in accordance with the planned races. The video analysis of the swim from all angles was a huge added value, and all swim training sessions afterwards were done to apply the lessons learned and improve swimming technique. The coach has a great eye and is able to recognize mistakes and correct the technique during and after training. I felt very comfortable in the group (since I joined the camp without knowing anyone), the coach really takes care of everything, and I would recommend this camp to everyone!
Thank you again for great camp!

Client has ME who chose as a New Year Resolution to attempt to train, complete and enjoy a 50 mile bike ride.

Nutrition and Exercise Coaching plan provided.

Client actually gained muscle mass which is rare for an individual with a muscle wasting condition!

Quote: “Nutrition plan was perfect, Hydration plan was spot on, training was totally worth it, all from you! Couldn’t thank you enough!

I can’t recommend Jon enough, in 7 weeks he boosted my half Ironman time by 40 minutes and got me a GB slot!

I have never felt fitter or stronger and have had great fun buying new clothes to fit my new body!

Thank you Jon Goodege for been the most inspirational, motivational person I have ever met. It’s a privilege to have you as my coach.

What ever your doing is obviously working 2hour 46 min for the bike leg absolutely blew me away and to finish with legs that still worked.

I completed a 6 month Military Preparation Programme, however Jon Goodege recognised the generic physical fitness programme wasn’t developing me as much as I needed.

A 1-2-1 training programme was designed, fitness tests completed and a Parachute Regiment Assessment Course date selected.

The plan was flexible to my day to day routine however challenged me and developed my running speed and strength where I was able to achieve an A grade pass on Assessment.

The new goal was then to prepare for the Combat Infantryman Course and the knowledge, training plan and flexibility allowed me to develop and grow and arrive for training in awesome shape.

It was an all round preparation programme, with the Ice Breaker plan, Regimental History revision and Weapon Characteristics advice all enabled me to perform at an overall level to be graded top of my Assessment Course. Can’t thank you enough!

Would just like to thank tri coach Jon for a year of professional tri coaching. I’ve just completed the outlaw x 70.3, even though the swim was shortened due to the cold was a tough race with a lot of the best age groupers in the uk taking part, I found that with Jon’s expert coaching he guided me to a great triathlon experience. I am now looking forward to my winter training with tri coach Jon in preparation for the 2021 season. So again big thank you Jon, would highly recommend tri coach Jon true professional.

I was a busy mum working, 2 kids and training for half iron man, Jon was amazing he wrote me a programme that fitted round me and my life and listened to my feedback. He was always available on WhatsApp for any questions, help I needed. I couldn’t have done it without him. He took away all my worries and concerns so on the day I felt confident. 100% recommend Jon for anyone thinking about doing any endurance events.
