I have been working with Jon for the past year and a half now, and feel I am now able to write a comprehensive review. Before working with Jon - I was an oft injured runner who was coming off of a severe disc injury. The way I had structured my training in the past (and the way my prior coaches had) usually ended with me injured or, at the very least, burned out on race day. When I found out I had a bulging disc as severe as I did (literally had no feeling in my foot) - many doctors told me I would never run again.

When I first reached out to Jon there was a mutual understanding that we would have to attack my training in a very different manner because of the injury I was coming back from. Where many other coaches would lack the flexibility of dealing with such a situation - Jon was extremely flexible and not only adapted on a weekly basis - but often times daily.

Fast forward to now and I have ran a road PR in a 5k, and all time PRs in both the half and full. Jon has an understanding of the sport, and his athletes lives, that has vastly exceeded my expectations. I feel healthier than I have ever felt - and am defying all odds in terms of racing again after having such a severe injury.

I only give honest, transparent feedback and I would recommend Jon as a coach for any single one of my running connections. He is a subject matter expert on the sport and can also pair that with the flexibility of working with someone who is dealing with external situations (injury, work, etc.) As well. I look forward to continuing to obtain PRs as the races begin to open back up.

Jon is one of the most knowledgeable and dedicated runners to help improve others to be the best they can be. If your looking for someone that understands training processes and what it takes to be ready for your next big race he can help you get there with a plan that is specifically designed to fit you.

He doesn’t use cookie cutter plans than many coaches and other trainers do instead he takes the time to understand you as a runner and your individual goals and designs a plan that will help you become the best runner you can be. Im a 53 year old runner and have been using Jon to help me become a better and faster runner, when I first met Jon I hadn’t been training for specific races in the future. I was just running randomly and signed up for races as they came up. Jon helped me understand that in order to run a race effectively you need to plan and design a specific running plan that will fit the race your planning on racing whether it’s a 5k or all the way up to a marathon or even 100 mile ultra team relay. If you want to be prepared for your next race contact Jon now he would love to coach you and guide you to a path of a successful finish while making sure your running the correct workouts, when and how along along with those recovery runs to make sure you stay injury free. I would highly recommend anyone to use him and his services.

I am a 37 year old runner. I had never used a coach before but Jon Mott told me he could help me in my running and help me break 3 hours in the marathon. I am very pleased that he wrote me a plan. He has helped me grow as a runner more than I could ever imagined. I have worked with Jon over the past year and a half.

He has been a phenomenal coach. I ran the Marine Corps Marathon twice in previous years with times of 3:46:03 & 3:20:52. Jon was able to write a plan for me that fit to my schedule. My goal was to run a sub 3:00 marathon. Jon worked with me during my weeks of training. He was always available to answer any questions I would have and he was able to give me great advice when a few workouts didn’t go the way I wanted to. He helped me believe and boosted my confidence throughout training. I went on to run a 2:58:21 during the 2017 Marine Corps Marathon. He is able to help beyond just a training plan as he provides feedback on my racing schedule and racing tactics and goals. He has helped me with a few half marathons during marathon training in preparation for the 2018 Boston Marathon. Jon wrote me a different plan for Boston that incorporated hills more often than the last plan. He is awesome at customizing race plans depending on the race you are going to do. I had my best training to date leading up to Boston. As most of you probably know, Boston had one of the worst weather conditions to date, but I was able to run 3:00:09 at Boston. I have been able to PR the 15K, Half Marathon & Marathon with Jon’s coaching. I look forward to learning more from Jon in the years to come. Anyone interested in turning up his or her training in a positive environment should contact Jon.
