Your own personal running coach!

John is world class and coaches athletes overseas via the phone and internet as well as some in New Zealand.

John has been my coach for nearly 15 years, and he has taken me from a young 1500m runner to an Olympic marathon runner. His approach to training has a solid backing from many years of coaching and also his own experience as an elite athlete.

On top of this, John’s sense of commitment to his athletes as well as patience and support (both on and off the field) is unwavering.

John has been a key part of my success as an athlete and I would not have achieved my Olympic dream without him!

Once a professional road racer in the United States, he has coached numerous top athletes in the USA and New Zealand professionally since 1995. Now settled in New Zealand, he has coached some of New Zealands top athletes for the Athens and Beijing Olympic games, as well as the Commonwealth games and world championships.

John is a great coach on many levels. He is a great communicator and builds good relationships with his athletes. His training is scientific and varied, keeping it interesting. Best of all, his enthusiasm is infectious and his training is fun!

A key mistake John finds with runners is they are training harder not smarter. Do you feel like your putting the effort in but not gaining the advances you would expect for that effort?
