Hi, I’m Jon. I help runners train with purpose, run with resilience, and stay grounded through the highs and lows of long-distance goals. Whether you’re eyeing your first trail or ultra, chasing a break through performance, or coming back from injury or burnout, I offer personalized coaching that meets you where you are; with structure, honesty, and a healthy mindset-first approach. Waybound is for those who care about why they run as much as how they run. If you’re looking for a coach who understands that endurance is physical, emotional, and deeply personal, you’re in the right place.

I believe that becoming a better competitor doesn’t mean grinding harder or pushing blindly. It means learning how to compete with clarity and intention. I help athletes build the skills to perform when it counts: staying steady when others unravel, making smart decisions, and drawing strength from a deeper sense of purpose.

You’re not just a runner. You’re a person who runs, and that difference matters. Thoughtful coaching rooted in purpose. Real support from someone who sees you. Plans that flex with life, because training isn’t static, and neither are you.

The Waybound way is about coaching the whole runner: physical, mental, emotional.
It’s about pace and purpose, intensity with adaptation, and results alongside reflection.
It’s a mindset-first approach to training that values clarity over grind.
It’s a belief that besides pace, also recovery, reflection, and resilience are performance tools.
It’s coaching that evolves with your goals, your body, your season of life.
It’s about getting faster, and about becoming more grounded in who you are, and why you run.
