THE RECIPE FOR SUCCESS IN
ENDURANCE SPORTS
Your sporting level is not so important, we are more concerned with your commitment to your new goal!
Every athlete is unique and therefore needs professional, individual and human support.
Whatever your desire (training plan, technique, equipment, nutrition…), you will no longer be alone and lost in hundreds of articles on the Internet that all contradict each other!
The Coach
Jean Christophe Guinchard
In 1987, at the age of 20, I became Swiss junior champion (first year at the highest level). This result opened the doors to the Henniez Tri Team (the reference team in triathlon at the time), which allowed me to perfect my skills as a young triathlete. In 1993, I decided to become a professional triathlete. This result opened the doors to the Henniez Tri Team (the reference team in triathlon at the time), which allowed me to perfect my skills as a young triathlete.

What a weekend it was, as Nick Thompson started his 2nd Ironman at home in Busselton. Nick joined JC Sports Coaching in May 2023 and had just turned professional. At 23, he quickly learned to train well and did his 1st professional race at the 70.3 Ironman in Luxembourg where he finished 8th and qualified for the 70.3 Worlds in Lathi where he finished 24th. In July, he took the start of his 1st Ironman in Thun without any specific preparation and finished a fine 8th. Following this experience, his goal for the end of the season was defined by Ironman Busselton, where he wanted to qualify for the Ironman World Championships in Kona. This was a very tough objective, as there were only 3 qualifying places.
Nick trained superbly well, taking part in a series of preparatory races such as the 70.3 Ironman Sunshine Coast, which he won, and the Melbourn Ironman, where he finished 2nd.
Then came the Busselton weekend, and the pressure was on as it was a home race for Nick. The start is given and heโs a little too nervous and does a poor swim, coming out in 8th place, 4min25 behind the leaders. He made up lost ground on the bike with a time of 4h00 over an average of 180km 45km/h, and entered the transition zone in 3rd place. He managed to hold on to this position throughout the marathon, even though the 4th-placed runner caught up with him on the 30th km before dropping off the pace. Nick finishes 3rd in the Busselton Ironman and obtains his slot for the Ironman World Championships in Kona 2024.
Itโs just incredible for him, but so well deserved. Heโs talented and hard-working. The JC and Nick partnership is a success because they get on so well together, and mutual respect and trust are the keys to success. But thatโs not enough, because thereโs also the support of his family and friends, and thatโs also the reason for Nickโs success.
Well done Champion, and the whole JC Sports Coaching gro
up is very proud of your career and your success. Cheers JC @nick_thompson00 @ironmanoceania @ironmantri @oggingsquad @jcsportscoaching @jcguinchard @odlocustom @inscyd_ @jcguinchard @jcsportscoaching @tri_monthey @paul_thompson66 @sansego_tri_club

After three seasons of triathlon racing all distances (short to Ironman distance), I wanted to test my capacities and qualify for the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii.
In my search for a qualified coach, I found Jean-Christophe Guinachard and we immediately developed a very positive relationship. Jean-Christophe has a great sense of humor, but has a very professional approach to sport.
Thanks to performance tests, frequent discussions and very precise training plans, I was able to improve in a short space of time.
After a few preparatory races, I had my qualifying race in Tallinn in August 2021. The race took place in rain and a lot of wind. I was in first place from the start of the swim and was able to hold on to it until the finish. By winning my age group, I qualified for Hawaii. It was a dream come true and I’m looking forward to taking part in October 2022.
I can highly recommend Jean-Christophe as a coach, as he is a great motivator with a lot of experience and also attaches great importance to topics such as stretching, massages and nutrition.

I started coaching with JC Coaching at the end of 2018 with great expectations, as I have been a long-distance triathlete for about 12 years and have more than ten Ironmans under my belt, but despite two participations in the 70.3 World Championships I am still a long way from qualifying for Hawaii. With a very intensive schedule and an extremely time-consuming job. We also had to make sure that I still had some time with my family and didn’t have to sacrifice every weekend for the preparations.
That’s how JC managed to get within a few millimeters of the Grail over the course of a season, even though there was relatively little direct contact (fortunately lots of phone calls and WhatsApp). A great year with varied and I would even say attractive training, regular performance tests that reassure us or motivate us to focus on the essentials again. In test competitions that didn’t go as expected, JC is there to reassure us and knows how to find the right words; between explaining the mistakes made and pointing out unused opportunities and strengths. He helped me to improve my time by an hour within a year and to run a time of 9h33′ at Ironman Barcelona; 2’30” away from the slot for Hawaii. He knows that I have the potential and above all he managed to convince me. This is the first time I know I can do it; I’m 55 years old and have a strong character after a 30-year military career.
So yes, I can just congratulate myself for choosing him and want to thank him for including me in his team and family, because yes, among other things, Team JC is a family of athletes who certainly focus on their performance, but more importantly, by just staying as they are and can also talk about something other than watts, lactate or Strava.

I’ve always done sport occasionally and for fun. As a yoga teacher, I knew very little about running. Two years ago, I needed a new goal in my life, so I set myself the challenge of running Sierre-Zinal in 2022. At the beginning, I trained alone and saw very little results. It was really important to me to do this race.
So I asked Jean-Christophe, who I worked with outside of coaching, for advice. He then explained to me how he trained his athletes. His approach immediately matched what I was looking for.
Curious, conscientious and determined in my projects, I naturally drew on the coach’s skills. I was able to notice my progress quickly. Both my stamina and my speed have improved.
Jean-Christophe listens very carefully to his athletes and is very present. He also knows how to push us when necessary.
He was by my side during my first races and was able to reassure me. That meant I could go to the start of my first trail races with peace of mind. He also always took the time to answer my questions.
At the moment, I’m having so much fun training and racing and I’m so enthusiastic about our collaboration that I’ve decided to continue working with him as a coach. On the way to the 2023 goals.

In September 2021, I joined the Sansego by JC Sport team with the aim of improving my trail running and gradually moving up to the young talents.
Jean-Christophe Guinchard provides me with the framework, support and backing I need to start competing at a young age. The nutritional advice, training plans, racing tips and good humor are a big plus for successfully surpassing yourself.
The group is very diverse and welcoming, a real energy boost!
We train independently during the week as well as together at weekends and in training camps. I can see a clear improvement in my performance.
I am happy to be part of the team and recommend it 100%
