Go the distance1:1 & group coaching

While most coaches focus on the details and lose track of the bigger picture – we do the opposite. Your life, work, family, and other obligations come first as we create a long-lasting training philosophy together.

Human-only coaching
Jonathan Fors is the man behind the brand and is the only one doing the work. Because real, sustainable coaching requires a human-first approach.
Holistic approach
You're a whole person with a life to live. Family, work, illness and time off are counted from day one, not treated as things that got in the way.
A dedicated app
All your workouts, calls and messaging with your coach, and smart workout analytics are found in one app.

You're a person, not a plan.

Ultra Endurant is run by me, Jonathan Fors — a UESCA-certified coach with years of lived experience behind the certificate. There are plenty of coaches out there. Few of them see a person as a whole person with a life to live.

Most plans start with the schedule and expect your life to bend around it. I start at the other end. Your work, your family, the worries you're already carrying — all of it changes how your body handles training, so all of it gets counted before a single session is written. Rest, and everything else off the road, is part of the work rather than a gap in it.

I know what the other way costs. I've run 744 km down the coast of Portugal, and I've stopped at 480 km on the same route two years earlier because my body had had enough of being overruled. The second one is the line on the page. The first one is the reason any of this is worth listening to.

A week you can repeat is worth more than a perfect week you manage once. That's the whole method. Everything else is detail.

Every single athlete works directly with Jonathan. No sub-contractors, no outsourced assistants.

02The app

Everything in one place.

Every athlete I coach works through the Ultra Endurant App. It's where the plan lives, where we talk, and where everything we've already said stays findable.

  • Your schedule

    Every session, in order, with the week laid out — so what's next is never a question.

  • Workout analysis

    Finished sessions get read back to you: what the numbers did, and what changed since last time.

  • Calls & messaging

    All calls, 1:1 and group messaging happens directly in the app.

  • Look up anything

    Analyse workouts, search through call transcripts, or find that one message from weeks ago. The smart AI assistant got you covered.

  • No context-switching

    Plans, races, forms, whatever the week needs in one place instead of five.

why ultra endurant has its own app

to provide the best possible coaching experience for you

While we could split things into a WhatsApp chat, a Skool community, and a separate workout calendar the reality is that would be a pretty horrible experience. Keeping everything under one roof means you'll find what you're looking for quicker, and I can coach you much better.

03Who this is for

I'd rather say no early.

Coaching only works when the fit is right, and a bad fit wastes your money and my time. So here it is both ways round, before you book anything.

This is for you if

  • You want someone who sees the full picture

    Metrics and numbers matter, but ultimately the big picture is what makes the difference. Consistency over one-off perfection.

  • You're in it for the long game

    Anyone can push hard once or twice, but fewer can do it for a lifetime. You're training for a lifelong active, strong body.

  • You have a busy life outside of running

    Running means a lot, but so does your family, work, friends, and other obligations.

  • You want a coach who's proactive

    Your coach should be someone who's in it with you, not someone you chase for days just to get a response.

This isn't for you if

  • You want just a workout calendar

    If what you want is a PDF and no conversation, I'm the wrong coach and an expensive way to get one. There are cheaper places.

  • You want the fastest route, whatever it costs

    If the answer to every setback is push harder, we'll spend the whole time arguing. I'll ask you to back off, and I'll mean it.

  • You only care about metrics

    Someone once said numbers don't lie, well... in running sometimes they do and looking at the bigger picture is equally important.

If you read that list and recognised yourself, no hard feelings — genuinely. And if you're not sure which column you're in, start with the signup form and you can choose an optional call before paying.

04The program

Becoming a stronger athlete, in 4 steps

  1. 01

    Sign up and share your goals

    Tell me where you are and what you're aiming at. Then complete payment or choose an optional call with me.

  2. 02

    Your full picture

    A short intake about your running history, your work, your sleep and who depends on you — not just your splits.

  3. 03

    A plan that fits

    Training mapped onto the week you actually have, with the load and the rest balanced for you rather than for an average runner.

  4. 04

    Every week after

    We talk weekly. When work, travel or a bad run of sleep changes what's possible, the plan changes with it. That's normal, not failure.

Let's get started.

Sign up and tell me about your goals. You can complete payment or book an optional call before we begin.

Longest run (Project Portugal)

Project Portugal · 1–10 August 2026

The entire coastline of Portugal, in 10 days, for men's mental health, with Niki driving support. It was the second attempt. Two years earlier we set out on the same route and my immune system gave out at 480 km.

The second one is the line on the page. The first one is the reason it's worth anything: I know what it is to do the work, do it properly, and still have to stop — and then to decide whether you go back.
