Into Deep

Jermaine Jones - 34 Marathons 34 Days & Turning Grief into Greatness - E11

Geoff Goddard Season 1 Episode 11

In this powerful episode of Into Deep, I sit down with Jermaine Jones – endurance runner, cyclist, and adventurer – for a raw and inspiring conversation about resilience, mental health, and taking on the impossible.

Jermaine opens up about an intense period in his late teens when he faced multiple personal tragedies, job loss, and relationship heartbreak – a time that pushed him to the brink. We explore how he turned that pain into fuel, finding purpose through endurance challenges, including cycling 14,000km around Australia in just 50 days and his latest mission: running 34 marathons in 34 days while holding down a full-time job.

We discuss:

  • How Jermaine transformed grief into a driving force for positive change
  • His dedication to youth mental health and breaking the stigma for men to speak up
  • The mental strategies that help him push past physical and emotional limits
  • Why training means more to him than race day
  • The importance of community, environment, and small daily wins in building resilience

This is a conversation about grit, vulnerability, and living life on your own terms. Whether you’re into endurance sports or just need a reminder that you can overcome anything, Jermaine’s story will leave you inspired.
