As a triathlete, Paul Jones has competed in Triathlon for many years and still competes today, although mainly to keep fit.  Highlights in Triathlon competition have been competing for Great Britain at World and European Age Group Level on several occasions.  Prior to taking up Triathlon Paul competed nationally in swimming with swimming personal bests of 56.26 for 100m Freestyle, 1:58.91 for 200m Freestyle and 4:03 for 400m Freestyle.

He is a British Triathlon Level 3 Coach. Using an individualised method of programming, Paul Jones will personally oversee each triathlon training program, which in turn will be based around key events and peaks to ensure optimum performance for the athlete at the right time.

“Triathlon is a passion, a lifestyle but every individual is different.  What works for one athlete really won’t work for another.  Triathlon Coaching is a relationship – it has to go two ways, there has to be communication, the athlete has to feedback.”
