Are you training for your first marathon? Then this episode is definitely for you!

We wanted to cover training for your first 26.2 mile distance, showcase the rollercoaster of emotions that you go through before race day, and to let you know that it's OK - it's very normal.

Why you don't have to run the full distance before race day and trusting the process.

And update you on how our Marathon Academy members are doing. The Marathon Academy is our new group coaching programme and a lot of our members are training for their first marathon this Autumn.

If you’ve done multiple marathons before you may be able to empathise with everything we discuss in this episode or even pick up something new!

We start this episode with our usual catch up, updating you on our teams achievements and our training!

Oh my goodness.. what an absolute delight to be able to chat to my bestest friends about running!!

I’ve been friends with Lynn and Frey since Year 7 and 8 of school, so we’re talking a good 19 or 20 years now.

Lynn has been running for around 4 years now and in this time we’ve ran the Vitality 10,000 together and I also helped her with a plan leading up to a half marathon earlier this year. Since lockdown came around in March, Lynn has used her free time to put all her energy into running and it’s been so lovely to watch her progress and her confidence in her own ability.

Freya has recently completed the couch to 5km app and although Freya has walked a marathon, she would admit she didn’t think she’d be someone to take on running. A few weeks ago, Lynn and I got to run with Freya on her first 5km which was a really special moment in our friendship.

I was so excited to invite these two onto the podcast to talk about their journeys but also share some special memories that running has given us throughout our journeys.

I hope you enjoy this episode as we draw close to the end of series 1. I have some great ideas up my sleeve for series 2 so stay tuned! We will be taking a short break to plan out the next set of guests but promise you it won’t be long.

Thanks for listening and as always, hope you enjoy this chat!

Adam has 447 marathons and ultras to his name and has won more marathons/ultra marathons than anyone else in the UK.

He was only 23 years old when he had reached 100 marathons putting him in the Guinness World Records for being the youngest person in Europe to achieve this. He is also the fastest person to run 10 marathons in 10 days, with an average time of 2 hours 45 minutes. Last year he completed the famous John O’Groats to Lands End Challenge where he ran over 800 miles running from the top to the bottom of the UK.

This year Adam was due to run 20 marathons in 20 days but due to the current climate this has not been possible.

Although Adams achievements are very impressive, he was very modest during our chat. We discussed some of his many achievements but also delved a bit deeper into how his running has changed in recent times.

I thought it would be an interesting idea to invite some previous guests back onto the podcast and catch up with what they've been up to recently.

We caught up with Mark from Ep 5, James from Ep 1, Naomi from Ep 2 and Duncan from Ep 3.

I asked them what they've been up to since March, how the current times may have affected their running, what's been keeping them motivated and what they're looking forward to next! Some great catch ups and really interesting to hear what they've all been doing.

Rudi, owner of the Treatment Lab clinic joined me to share his own running journey and how the clinic has been impacted by current events.

I've been treated by Rudi for over 3 years so trust in everything he does and says!

As a fellow runner, Rudi sees and treat a lot of runners from all over Milton Keynes and as a runner himself can relate to our injuries and setbacks.

Rudi is also part of the dream team that puts together the Sponsored Athlete programme where we sponsor 2 athletes every year on their journey to a spring marathon. The programme is in its 3rd year and this years athletes Mark and Anastasia have previously featured on this episode.

We go on to discuss what future appointments look like in the sports treatment world and what the new 'normal' will look like.

With September drawing closer and time running out, Andy had to make the tough decision to go with his Plan B idea and has come up with the new concept; MK Marathon Reimagined. It was great chat to Andy about how the vision came about as no other race organiser has been yet to provide an option to their runners of this level.

It was interesting to understand what the original Plan A race would have looked like in September with social distancing and was clear it wouldn’t be runners are used. It sounds as Andy and the MK team have put in some really hard work to come up with the best alternative solution.

Welcome to Episode 18 where I had the pleasure of chatting to Anastasia Murphy, also known as @murphyruns on Instagram.

Anastasia is one of our sponsored athletes, where she got the opportunity to work with me, The Treatment Lab and Up Running leading up to Manchester Marathon.

We chatted through her journey into running, her first marathon experience and the different she’s found now that she’s had a coach and the positive impact its had on her running.

Also a part of the Brooks Run Happy Team, we spoke about her goals and if they’ve changed due to the current lockdown and what motivates her to get out the front door to run.

I hope you enjoy this episode whether you’re on a long run, walk or just listening at home.

Welcome to Episode 17 and one I’m sure a few of you will be very interested in!

In this episode I sat down with Andy Hully the race director of the Milton Keynes marathon.

Milton Keynes Marathon first started in 2012 to signify the Olympic year. It’s now turned into a huge event over the last few years with the running community actively getting involved by either running the event, volunteering or spectating. Taking place every May Bank Holiday it’s one of the biggest races on our local calendar.

The Milton Keynes Marathon not only has the main event, but a half marathon, superhero fun run - a 1 mile race for the family, a new 10km race and the famous 5km rocket the day before with a great course for a PB! The MK marathon is iconic due to the fact that you get to finish in the football stadium cheered on by all of your friends and family.

Andy very kindly spoke to me about how the events unfolded in March leaving him with no option to postpone the event until September. with huge uncertainty around Autumn events and a very crowded race calendar I asked Andy to share his thoughts on what he sees mass races looking like in the future.

I hope you enjoy this event and want to thank Andy once again for coming onto the podcast.

Another corona catch up where we chat to previous guests of the podcast.

It was great to catch up with Matt Bergin (Ep 11) as he has been very busy the last few months setting up his new business - The Performance Team - https://www.performanceteam.co.uk/

I also sat down with my lovely friend Ana (Ep 4) to chat about her journey as we spoke at the beginning of March not knowing what was to come. Although a lot of races in her diary have been cancelled, as normal the ball of energy she is has overcome many hurdles.

Thank you so much for your support since the podcast launched back in February!

We’ll be taking a short break but will be back in August with some new exciting episodes for you in Series 2.
