Coach Cox has been running since 2012

and like many Brits was inspired by the London Olympics.

​

"I wanted to be the next Mo Farah! I soon realised that I probably wouldn't go on to gold medal at the Olympics but, after years of dedication and consistency, I've achieved many of my goals. There's nothing I love more than bettering myself everyday - and helping others do the same!"

​

John loves to run, race and train athletes across a range of distances. He's completed 100+ parkruns, 5Ks, 10Ks, Half Marathons, Marathons and even a few Ultra Marathons.

​

 His range of personal bests include a 16:39 5K, 34:42 10K, 1:17 Half, 2:57 official Marathon (plus a 2:50 TT in 2020)

and 26 Hour 100Miler!

​

Some of Coach Cox's recent successes have been helping, supporting and encouraging athletes to run their first Sub 30 5K and Sub 3 marathon. He does this through carefully planned, personalised training plans which he adjusts and adapts according to feedback from his athletes.

​

"I'm always running or reading about running and, this year, I have began a Sports, Fitness and Coaching degree. I want to learn as much as I can so that I can create interesting, varied and creative sessions for my athletes."

​

John also hosts the Single Malt Marathoners Podcast and has interviewed some of the most elite athletes and experts in the running field and gained a wealth of knowledge from this.
