More About Coach John
For the last 20years, I have been in the sport of track and field and distance running. I have been around the world running . I have competed in college running 5000, and 10000 meters. Also made Olympic team in 1996 for the Marathon.At this moment Am former world record holder for most miles ran on a treadmill in 24 hrs. I have coached distance runners who are going to college and are state champions in high school as well as TaFF state champions. My experience in coaching comes from international coaching as well as professional coaching, and learning from my own experience as a track & field athlete.
Track and field - college: 800m, 5000m, 10000m
Cross country - college
Asics Pro runner
1996 Olympic marathon
World record holder - most miles ran on treadmill for 24hrs
I coached a high school student from Buckhotts TX, who improved his 800 time from 2:00 to 1:56.
I have coached all ages to state games of Texas, where all distance runners placed in top 5 spots.
I have coached a host of kids ages from 10-16 to Junior Olympics, both cross country and track.
Coached my high school girls team to the TAPPS 2a state runner up champions. 2014, 2016, 3rd 2017, 2018,2019 , 4th 2020
First of all I ask the athlete what are there expectations and what there goals are for there events, once all is establish. Then I will see where they are as far as training normally the first session consists of drills, form, and pace training and stretching . I normally start them with 800 to see where they are at . From the 800 it will tell me how much shape an athlete is after a series of 3. After that I can see where he or she is and make my workout plan from there . In later in the season will tell what there specialty is and I make some adjustments as we see them fit .

Coach really cares about his runners and has helped our son reach personal records. Our son has been running for a few years now, but never received the personal instruction he gets from Coach John. Thanks, Coach!
Marquise (CoachUp client)
Awesome Coach! Very professional and has a plethora of experience and knowledge. Highly recommend if you want your athlete to get to that next level.
Jim (CoachUp client)
Outstanding coach. Looking forward to more opportunities for my daughters to work with Coach Warnes.
Miguel (CoachUp client)
Coach John is incredible to work with. Really look forward to our future sessions!
Isaac (CoachUp client)
Worth every penny. Our daughter went from making zero track meets last year, to being one of the top runners on her middle school team, in two short months. He has not only taught her better form, stretching & breathing techniques, but he has taught her that with hard work, she can reach her goals. We are excited to see what the rest of the track season holds, as well as her seasons to come.
Lilyana (CoachUp client)
Coach John has been such a wonderful influence on our daughter. His knowledge of running and the appropriate training has been exceptional. We have seen huge growth in our daughter’s abilities with track and cross country since training with Coach. If you are looking for someone to facilitate taking your athlete to the next level then Coach John is your coach!

A good coach is positive, enthusiastic, supportive, trusting, focused, goal-oriented, knowledgeable, observant, respectful, patient and a clear communicator.
Coach John is all of these things and then some and he helped me to address several things not only in terms of my fitness but also with my mindset. He helped me greatly overcome mental barriers that had been holding me back.
Most of all, Coach John is ALL HEART and genuinely cares about every athlete he trains. I’ve seen him working with other clients and he is able to get his message across and properly guide them on their way in a respectful tone.
Coach John is extremely supportive and follows through in a timely manner after each session and his feedback and encouragement is a real boost!
With his training, he provides clear expectations and is honest and realistic with his assessments and is a true professional.
Through our sessions I was able to see a lot of what I had been missing through my own training and he was always patient and offered clear guidance.
All of these things make him a good coach but what makes him a great coach is his passion for running and vast experience as an athlete and also what he has learned in his own personal journey with running.
Thanks for your continued support and always believing in me, Coach John.

Coach John is a true professional and runner! He practices what he preaches. I was searching for a coach who'd physically pace me; rather than hollering at me from the sideline. He's been with me on the trail chugging out the miles. He also utilizes all technology to further enhance my training experience. As a 20 yr Army vet who knows what proper training techniques look like. I can truly say hire Coach John!

Paula (CoachUp client)
Coach John is an awesome coach. Not only does he want me to succeed, but he gives me the tools and training I need to make sure I do succeed....and I have by qualifying for national competition for the State Games of America in Virginia on August 2019. Coach John truly loves this sport and is excited about it when others are as well. His training and advice comes from the heart. I highly recommend Coach John to beginners as well as seasoned athletes.

Tamara (CoachUp client)
Coach John is true professional who pushes his athletes outside of their comfort zones to prove to themselves that they can achieve their goals.
Adrienna (CoachUp client)
I can definitely see the confidence and proper technique in my son. I originally came to coach to assist in his stamina and to learn general running technique, but through patience and superior eye for talent ... to my surprised he was invited to join the track team. I'm eager to see the continued development. I feel blessed to have such wonderful coach in my son's life. Thank you.

What a great coach. My children looks forward to train with him. He works well with them tells them what they need to work on and what they are doing right. I feel great about having my children train with him and I know that they well accomplish everything the aree trying to reach with him.
Great coach / principal (Testimonial)
I hired him as the head Cross Country coach for Holy Trinity Catholic High School. We worked together for 4 years before I left for another position. During his tenure with me, he grew the boys and girls teams, placed at the state meet and started a middle school team at a feeder school. His approach to coaching is very positive and uplifts the students to believe in themselves and their ability.
