Jonathan Albon

From London to the Norwegian mountains 

Born in London, UK, Jonathan Albon’s journey into endurance sport began in elite obstacle course racing before he transitioned to skyrunning and then trail. After becoming a world champion in trail running and claiming victories at OCC® and CCC®, he made the move to Romsdalen, Norway, drawn by its wild and technical mountains, where he now lives and trains. 

A unique training approach 

In recent years Jon has focused on longer ultra-distance races, bringing a distinctive blend of attention to detail, a thoughtful training methodology and efficiency on technical trails. He thrives where strength, precision and adaptability are essential. 

Beyond racing 

Jon shares his experience and insights through The Albon Way podcast, co-hosted with his partner, professional trail runner Henriette Albon, where they chat about their trail journey, training, and life. He is also the founder of AlbonApp, a trail-running-specific training app built around Running Impact to plan and track performance in the mountains
