Athletes under the direction of Jon Cowell have made significant achievements through the use of individual periodised training programmes and constant analytical assessment. Much of Jon's success can be attributed to direct observation and one-to-one tuition during quality sessions. Whilst this is the most successful method of coaching, it is limited by:

• allocated time available
• athlete may become coach dependant.

From his base at Thursby, Jon is now available to offer this successful method of coaching to assist all levels of runners, duathletes and triathletes* in a number of areas:

Using an initial assessment as a starting point, Jon will assist the individual in determining the key areas of development and will create a training plan tailored to the athlete's needs.

The initial assessment will include:

• Conditioning test
• Body composition report
• Setting/Review of key annual target(s)
• Outline of annual training plan
• Detailed 4 microcycle (weeks) training plan
• Establish interim review dates
• Determine any athlete support requirements
