SPM Triathlon Coaching
Triathlon Coaching For Masters Athletes
Our Triathlon Coaching Philosophy
SPM Triathlon specializes in triathlon coaching for masters athletes, with a philosophy focused on improving athletic performance and supporting the person behind the athlete.
‘Great Things From Small Things’
At SPM Triathlon, our coaching philosophy is based on the Latin phrase ‘Sic Parvis Magna’, which means “Great Things from Small Things”. We believe that anyone can achieve great things by consistently doing small things. We have the knowledge and experience to provide a roadmap of ‘small things’, that will lead to success in your chosen endurance sport.
‘Never Too Late To Start Or Improve’
We also believe that it is never too late to start or improve. We coach many athletes who began their journey to a healthier lifestyle later in life and who continue to set personal best times in races. Older athletes have different needs to those who are participating at a younger age. We fully customize all our training plans to allow for this, enabling athletes to reach their full potential, at any age.
‘A Personalized Service’
The very best in personalized service and communication means we get to know our athletes as individuals. We partner with them to provide workout schedules that are motivating and that fit within their busy lives. To accomplish this level of service, we maintain a very small roster of athletes, working closely with each of them on a daily basis.

What Our Athletes Say About Us
Coach Phil is one of the most positive influences in my triathlon journey. His coaching is by far the best investment I have ever made in the sport.
He is available to me all hours of the day, lending encouragement and advice at the drop of a hat. He cares deeply for his athletes; second to none.
Coach Phil made me an Ironman within 2 years of getting into the sport of triathlon.
Hayden G. – PA
I began working with Coach Phil as an older athlete, who was also a beginner in all three triathlon disciplines.
Under Coach Phil’s guidance, I have remained healthy, with no injuries, and have become a faster, more confident racer.
I highly recommend Coach Phil!
Traci B. – MI
To anyone considering hiring a coach, you simply cannot do better than Phil Jones.
He designs great, personalized workouts; helps me set my goals and keeps me motivated.
Most importantly, Coach Phil is one of the kindest gentlemen that I know.
As a 56 year old athlete I have had a lot of PR’s this year. I give a ton of credit to Coach Phil for that.
John B. – MN
I had done several triathlons many years ago, but at 70 years old, I wanted to see if I could do a full Ironman, and hired Coach Phil.
Phil’s coaching was invaluable. He improved my swimming, biking, and running. He tailored workouts to avoid injury, and I did!
We regularly reviewed the details needed for a successful race and he gave me a great race plan
In October 2022, at the age of 71, I became an Ironman. It never would have happened without Coach Phil.
