WELCOME
Thinking of Running a Marathon?
Well that's a good start..
Because the 'thinking' part is every bit as important as the actual running. How you think, will hugely influence your whole experience of training and race day.
So if you're interested in learning how a 'Marathon Mindset' can help you run faster, further and improve your whole life, read on my friend!
Hello, I'm Sarah
I'm the Jones of GoodThinkingJones
and I help people to run their best marathons.
(I also help people to run charities, so if you're here for that, please visit the Charity page).
I'm a UKA Licensed Coach in Running Fitness and an experienced Run Lead and marathon runner. I've done this alongside a busy job (running a charity) and far too many commitments...
I'm here for the runners who want to:
enjoy the 12+ weeks of training, having the confidence to make changes when 'life' happens
avoid spending a fortune on stuff you don't need
motivate, not alienate, your friends and family
raise money for good causes without it being stressful or cringeworthy (see above!)
cross the line with the biggest smile possible, knowing that you've absolutely smashed it!
How You Can Get A Marathon Mindset

You'll get:
-some common sense and practical advice in your instagram feed
-regular emails with tips and updates
-access to the hive mind in our private facebook group
Whether you're a seasoned runner or just getting started, you'll find the support you need here!
How to run a marathon- the 12 week course
Maybe you're feeling a bit overwhelmed and you want someone to talk you through it step by step... Or maybe you just want some structure so you can get started...
My 12 week course takes you through every aspect of marathon running from signing up to what you do after you cross the finish line.
You can treat it like your own private podcast and take me on a run. (Although I don't advise in-ear headphones- check out module 5 to find out why!). Join the Tribe for all the info.
Bespoke Coaching Groups
This is the option if you need a friendly kick up the glute max!
My small group programmes include access to my complete course but with this option, you'll also have me guiding you through it week by week.
The beautiful brucey bonus is the moral support, motivation and accountability you'll get from the rest of the group. No one gets left behind!
You'll also get a bespoke training plan and nutrition advice to tweak your favourite meals so they power you through the long runs.
Join the Tribe for all the info.
From first-timers to triathletes
Hi Sarah. Hope you have a lovely day ahead. β€πΉπJust wanted to say how much I'm enjoying the programme. Learned loads and it's a really nice listen. I think it's helped where perhaps other runners might assume the knowledge is already there, or it's common sense...but you've really plugged a gap for me where lack of experience could have caused problems. Been an emotional and bumpy ride, and you've kept me positive and on track. It's not just getting a place and doing some training after all eh? Anyway, I'm loving it xxxπͺπ»ππ»ππ»π.

As a runner and triathlete, Iβve used many methods to try and improve my mental game during running,
but had no success until I met Sarah.
Her knowledge of techniques is wide and varied, she finds easy ways to remember everything when you are out running so you can implement them easily.
My sessions with Sarah have led to more enjoyable running, as well as improved performance because she has taught me how to manage myself.
We are all different and I wanted something personal, not generic, and Sarah delivered. I would wholly recommend.
