Coaching built around real life

Carl Jones is a running coach in South Wales, supporting adult runners from their first steps to 5K, 10K, half-marathon, marathon and ultra-distance goals. Coaching is personal, practical and shaped around work, recovery and everyday life.

A coaching approach with room for real life

Carl’s coaching is powered by the seven-pillar ELEVATE Method: Endurance, Load, Efficiency, Velocity, Adaptation, Training Fuel and Evaluation. Through The ELEVATE Shift app, runners can use adaptive training plans, check-ins, a shift calendar and coach messaging. Training can be adjusted around readiness, recovery and changing schedules.

Experience across the long distances

Carl’s running record includes seven 100-mile finishes, a finish at Wild Horse 200, and a finish at the 130-mile Ring O’ Fire. That experience informs a calm, considered approach to endurance coaching, preparation and race-day problem-solving.

Whether you’re starting out, fitting training around shift work, or preparing for an ultra, the next step begins with a conversation.
