If you’re looking for that extra edge to achieve your marathon goals, Up & Running offers 1 on 1 e-coaching with Julia Jones.

You’ll get individual support, customised training plans, and unlimited access to Julia’s expert running brain and extensive experience. Over the past 15 years she’s coached over 30,000 runners to marathon success via private coaching and her acclaimed My First Marathon programme at the Venice Marathon.

“Not only was Julia a safe harbour to unleash my insecurities about the marathon distance, she gave me a detailed plan that was fun and achievable. There was variety to keep me motivated, and I was always encouraged to push myself. I was confident being under her guidance with her wealth of marathon experience.

Julia was supportive and kind and always knew the right thing to say when I had a “can I really do this?!” moment. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone contemplating their first marathon. Thanks to her excellent plan, I not only crossed the finish line but I did it injury free as well!”
