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!

As the Spring Marathon Season is just around the corner in the UK, we thought it would be the perfect time to give some of those preparing for these races some information about what to expect in relation to bib collection, getting to the start line, the course profile, what's on the course, supporting and top tips from previous runners.

First off, we're starting with Paris and Brighton marathons as they're up first on 2nd April, with next weeks episode focussed on Manchester and London.

parkrun last week announced last week that they were removing competitive stats and data from their website.

Is this an inclusivity issue or is this around the gender debate in sport which has been coming up recently?

We invited Running Hub parkrun enthusiast Sammy onto the podcast to discuss the changes and how this impacts runners, what our thoughts are and what parkrun means to us.

Let us know what you think?

After we recorded this episode, parkrun also released this statement - https://www.parkrun.com/blog/news/2024/02/14/an-open-letter-from-russ-jefferys-ceo-parkrun-global/

In this weeks episode of the podcast, we discuss our top tips on how to fit in running and training around busy lifestyles.

Most of the people we coach and know within the running community have full time jobs, a family and other commitments. Although we all have a passion for running, we also have to fit it in around LIFE.

With our background and experience as coaches we understand and empathise what it’s like to fit training in around hectic schedules. It’s also something we pride ourselves on as coaches in the Running Hub, making training work for you but also helping to maximise your time and training to get the most out of it.

We share our top 12 tips today to help you train with intent and to help you maximise your time.
