Friday check-in 🔍

Before the weekend begins, pause for two minutes to reflect:

1️⃣ One session that went well
2️⃣ One thing you learned
3️⃣ One small win outside of training

These reflections help you build awareness, not just fitness.

Because performance isn’t just about watts, pace, or distance — it’s about progress in the small details 💙

Enjoy the rest day, recovery ride, or easy jog — you’ve earned it 👊

Feeling flat mid-week? 😩

It’s probably not your training load — it’s your fuel strategy.

Midweek is where most athletes under-fuel without realising it:
👉 Breakfast gets rushed or skipped
👉 Sessions happen on empty
👉 Protein intake drops
👉 Recovery meals are delayed or missed

Each of those adds up to slower sessions, low motivation, and poor recovery.

Swipe through for 4 quick fixes you can start today 🔁

🥣 Eat breakfast within 30–60 mins of waking
⚡ Add carbs before key sessions
🍗 Get 20–30g protein every 3–4 hours
🍝 Prioritise recovery meals (within 30 mins of finishing)

These aren’t extras — they’re performance essentials 💪

Fuel smart → train hard → recover faster 💙

💬 Sunday Night Check-In | End of Week Reflections 💪

Another week done ✅ and plenty of momentum rolling into November 👊

Our trial athletes are settling in brilliantly — consistent sessions, smart fuelling, and getting into that rhythm that makes the difference long term 🔁

Our long-term athletes are showing exactly what consistent, structured work looks like — progress everywhere from base miles to race performances.

Special shout-out to Alison, who’s out in New York taking on the marathon 🇺🇸👏 and absolutely smashing it so far — we’re all cheering you on from home 💙

As we move into a new week:
• Check your plan for any updates or changes 🗓️
• Prep your kit and nutrition for the days ahead 🥣🚴‍♂️🏃‍♀️
• Remember: recovery is still training — sleep, eat well, hydrate, repeat 🔁

Let’s make November count 🔥

🚴‍♂️ The all-round performance package

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Used Jon and Endurance Academy for cycle coaching, diet plans, and sports massage. He’s a super switched-on coach who really understands the science behind his plans. Adapted everything around my work and home life, and was always quick to respond. Add in the diet plans and sports massage and it’s an all-round winning combo.”

💡 Richard combined coaching, nutrition, and recovery — the full Endurance Academy approach. Data-driven training, personalised fuelling, and hands-on recovery all work together to build consistent, confident performance.

Whether your goal is to improve on the bike, rebuild structure, or get expert support that covers every angle, we’ll help you train smarter and feel stronger.

💪 Getting back on track with focused coaching

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Joined Jon around December ‘23 — he got me on the right track with nutrition and focused training. Very professional and always there for support and advice when needed. Motivated me after a couple of setbacks with injury and illness — wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jon.”

After a few frustrating months, Iain came into coaching looking for structure, accountability, and guidance. With consistent support and a clear plan, he’s rebuilt his training rhythm, improved performance, and found his motivation again.

💡 Sometimes the right coach isn’t just about sessions — it’s about direction, confidence, and knowing when to push or adapt.

🔥 Training Tip Tuesday

Threshold — your best friend and your worst enemy 😅

That fine line between “I’ve got this” and “why did I start this?”

It’s tough, uncomfortable… but exactly where progress lives 💪

💡 Try this mini challenge:
2 × 12 mins @ “hard but holdable”
3–4 mins easy between

Small dose ➜ big adaptation ⚙️

How do you feel about threshold work — love it or loathe it? 👇

💆‍♂️ 7+ years of athlete-focused care

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I’ve been seeing Jon for sports massage, injury support, and exercise advice for around 7–8 years — he’s brilliant. Jon always goes out of his way to keep me race-ready, and when I tore my quad, his advice got me back running. I still use the nutrition guidance he’s given me too.”

This kind of feedback sums up what we do at Endurance Academy — long-term, athlete-focused support that goes beyond the treatment room. 💡

Jon and Sophie both approach every client as an athlete — whether you’re training for a marathon, managing a recurring ni**le, or simply trying to stay active while juggling work and life. Each session is designed around:

✔️ Keeping you moving while recovering — not just prescribing rest
✔️ Combining hands-on treatment with practical rehab and training advice
✔️ Providing consistent, long-term care so you can train and race confidently
✔️ Linking massage, physio, and nutrition into one performance system

🏃‍♀️ Whether you’re chasing performance goals or just want to move pain-free, we’ll help you recover, rebuild, and get back doing what you love.

➡️ Message us to book your next sports massage or recovery session.

🏃‍♂️ GB Ultra Runner Jarlath McKenna on working with Sophie:

“Sophie’s been excellent every time I’ve seen her for physio — generous with her time, understands running goals, and helped me overcome persistent ni**les.”

🏁 “10K Season is Here”

10K season has landed 🎯
Jarrow ✅ Montecassiano 🇮🇹 Heaton Memorial ✅ Saltarace ✅ — four brilliant chances to test your training and chase that winter PB 💥

Whether you’re racing for time, confidence, or just to feel strong from gun to tape, this is the window to sharpen up 👇

⚖️ 1️⃣ Pace with patience
That opening mile feels effortless — until it doesn’t.
Start just below race effort, build through the middle, and finish with intent.
The fastest 10Ks are the most evenly paced.

🧠 2️⃣ Know your effort zones
10K pace = just above your threshold — “comfortably hard,” sustainable for ~40–50 mins.
Dial it in with sessions like 2×8–10 min at goal pace to train rhythm and control.

🧃 3️⃣ Fuel smart (yes, even for 10K)
⚡ Carb-load lightly the day before
🥣 60–90g carbs 2–3h pre-race
🚰 Small sip of carb drink or a gel 10–15 min before the start
Don’t skip fuelling — low fuel = early fade.

💪 4️⃣ Race-day mindset
Your plan:
🟢 Settle early
🟡 Hold steady
🔴 Finish strong
Keep your cool early, dig deep late — that’s where the PBs live 👊

🧩 Want help building your final block?
I’ll help you pace, fuel, and train to race smarter.
DM “10K PLAN” and we’ll get started.

The Endurance Academy

Hi, thanks for checking out our page ‘The Endurance Academy’ the new rebrand of ‘Bateman Sports Therapy. We're still working away in the background, so expect lots more to come from the site in the future.

So who are we? We are a close knit group of sports scientists and coaches (Jon Bateman & Alan Copland) who work with competitive and recreational athletes of all levels to ensure they surpass their goals. Working across Northern England and Central Italy, we offer a number of services that we feel are integral when supporting you guys.

So what can we offer you? A training program which can include cycling, swimming, running and strength work. A nutritional plan which will assess your current eating habits and help you lose that fat mass while keeping that much wanted lean mass! A top class sports massage service service to keep those aches and pains away, allowing you to stay consistent in your exercise routine. Consistency is key! Finally, our mentoring service. This is ground breaking and something that we all need but maybe don't quite understand. Why do we do what we do? Do I really want this? I've lost my mojo? All sound familiar?

Short and sweet for now, but get in touch for more on what we can do for you.
