Jon is a competing athlete himself, having run his first marathon at age 14. Since then he has branched out into duathlon and triathlon, and represented Great Britain many times as an age-group triathlete and duathlete, winning a silver medal at the European championships in 2008. During the last 5 years, he has worked on his running form, gradually transitioning back to a more natural, forefoot style of running, which served him so well as a teenager on the track. This has made him a more efficient runner, suffering fewer injuries. More recently, Jon broke the Guinness world record for the indoor ironman triathlon in a time of 08:24.47 and also the Guinness world record for the greatest distance run on a treadmill in 12 hours - 102.08km.
