Jason Williams

Jason is the newest member of the Sole Events team, but he comes from a background of sports and coaching which is almost unrivalled.

He has come on board to launch our Sports Massage Therapy service which operates from Easy Runner in Bristol as well as various other venues around Bristol and North Somerset.

He started late in sport but has certainly made a dramatic impact. Just 8 years ago he was working full time in a printing shop, working late, smoking and drinking and generally not looking after himself too brilliantly. But after accepting a challenge to run a half marathon for charity he never looked back, and now has an impressive range of victories and PB’s which rival any local athlete. He has victories at the Cheddar Half Marathon to his name and his Marathon Personal Best of 2hrs 38mins set at Berlin, sees him eligible for an elite start at the London Marathon. He also has  a Personal best in the half marathon of a staggeringly fast 1hr 13mins and a 10km PB of just 33mins!

All of which makes him ideally placed to offer advice and guidance to anyone looking at getting into running or triathlon.

Since his change of lifestyle, he has also forged himself a new career which saw him qualify as a Sports Therapist in 2004. Since then he has worked with a number of top athletes and newcomers alike. His experience and knowledge caught our attention and we were keen to work with such a talented guy, this meant that earlier in 2009 we launched Sole Sports Massage, which has proved extremely popular.

For more details on the services we offer and the details of our regular sessions at Easy Runner as well as our clinics in Worle High Street and others have a look on the Sole Sports Massage section of the website.

As all good coaches do, Jason has now focused more on the athletes he works with rather than himself and has not found time to compete this year, however when we spoke to him last he was considering an early release from his semi-retirement and was even considering having a bash at an Ironman event in 2010…you need to practice what you preach as we always say here at Sole Towers, so we will be watching his progress with interest.

We are delighted to have Jason on board with us, he is fantastic at what he does and we hope that Sole Sports Massage and his coaching services will help and inspire some of you guys out there to get involved.
