Meet Your Coach
Jon Shaw
As an Ironman Certified Coach and Endurance Sports Coaching Institute Certified Coach of 8 years, I founded Infinite Endurance Coaching to translate my deep, evidence-based knowledge into actionable results for every athlete.
My commitment to endurance sports spans over 20 years, grounded in extensive personal competition—from the speed of 10K races and marathons to the sustained demands of ultra-marathons, 24 hour endurance events and 10 Ironman Triathlons (3.8km Swim, 180km Bike, 42km Run).
Experiencing the full spectrum of endurance racing has shaped a coaching approach that integrates physiological and mental development, supporting athletes through running, swimming, cycling, and long-term triathlon coaching.
Coaching That Understands the Athlete Behind the Performance
At Infinite Endurance Coaching, performance starts with understanding the person. It is not just about sets, reps, pace charts, or data.
With over 30 years of real-world experience communicating across all levels of professional life — from high-level business owners to hands-on shop-floor teams — I’ve learned one fundamental truth: people perform best when they feel understood, respected, and clearly guided.
In professional environments, effective communication isn’t optional. It requires the ability to adapt quickly, simplify complexity, build trust, and deliver clarity under pressure. These skills form the foundation of how I build relationships and coach athletes today.
Turning Real-World Communication into Athletic Coaching
Athletes are no different from professionals. Each brings a unique personality, motivation style, confidence level, and response to pressure.
Some athletes are analytical and data driven. Others thrive on feel, rhythm, and reassurance. Some want to be challenged directly; others need calm, steady belief built over time. Many move between these states depending on training load, work stress, or race proximity.
My coaching adapts to the athlete — not the other way around.
This allows me to:
- Communicate training clearly and confidently
- Adjust messaging to suit different personality types
- Deliver performance feedback that motivates rather than overwhelms
- Know when to push and when to protect
- Build trust that holds under race-day pressure
The result is coaching that feels personal, purposeful, and performance focused. You will be heard, understood, and supported, not spoken at or forced into a generic coaching model.
Coaching That Works in the Real World
Most athletes aren’t training in a vacuum. They’re balancing careers, families, stress, fatigue, and ambition — often all at once.
Having spent decades working with people under real-world pressure, I understand how to:
- Coach athletes with demanding careers
- Manage expectations without lowering standards
- Keep training realistic, sustainable, and effective
- Help athletes stay confident when life gets noisy
This is especially valuable for age-group athletes, time-limited performers, and those chasing big goals alongside full lives.
What This Means for You as an Athlete
When coaching aligns with who you are, progress accelerates. Athletes working with Infinite Endurance Coaching benefit from:
- Clear, confident communication
- Training that makes sense — not guesswork

You’re not just given a plan — you’re coached, guided, and supported every step of the way.

By combining decades of people-focused communication experience with proven endurance coaching principles, Infinite Endurance Coaching delivers an environment where athletes feel supported, challenged, and confident — session after session, race after race.
This is coaching built on clarity, trust, honesty and purpose. Train smarter. Train with intent. Build infinite endurance.
