It's all about the base (training)
02/25/21 • 63 min
Every runner (and certainly Meghan Trainor) knows about the importance of base training... or do they? Catch up with Andy and Jude as they talk about the importance of building a good aerobic base of fitness, the huge advantages it can bring not only to your running but also your wider life and why it is not all about slow running.
Join Laura James as she talks openly about her struggles with the eating disorders which have affected most of her adult life and how running has helped and hindered her recovery.
'it was there when I went to bed at night and when I got up in the morning.'
'it was like a constant scratch at the back of my head'
Laura sheds light on this complex mental health illness and how she now supports others.
Having taken up running age 30, Laura fell head over heels in love and ran her first marathon 11 months later and has since gone on to complete 4 of the 6 world major marathons. But as a huge fan of the trails too, she can often be found exploring the beautiful hills and views of the Peak District and is ready to dip her toes into ultra running. Her top tip 'just get off and do it'!
Andy and Jude talk virtual races, the joy of taking others with you on your adventures and how when it comes to fuelling, practise makes perfect.

We Run Trail is a growing community of people who love running trail whether it be on 2 feet, 2 wheels, over fields, down fells, across parks, up mountains or along trails.
