MK Marathon Reimagined - Episode 23 - The 'New Normal' of Mass Running Events -

07/03/20 • 33 min

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.

Mark, James, Naomi & Duncan - Episode 22 - Corona Catch Up

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.

Lynn & Freya - Episode 24 - The Best Friends Talk All Things Running!

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!
