More than Runner

著者: Briony Langley-Miles & Rebecca McCann
  • サマリー

  • Average runners with above average enthusiasm! We're Becky and Briony, and between us we're training for four marathons, a load of halves (Becky ran 10 in 10 weeks for charity!) and an ultra, while juggling 5 kids between us. Join us on our journey to the London Marathon start line and beyond!


    Running for us is about SO MUCH MORE than physical health - in fact, it's mostly about mental health and how it makes us feel.


    There are so many super polished and professional podcasts from super speedy runners, experts and athletes that we LOVE for inspiration - but sometimes we just want to hear from normal people, like us, and chat about the sport we love so much with people we can relate to. That's why we're here!


    No matter how fast and furious or slow and steady you are, whether you're just starting out or a full blown running geek, regardless of your pace, distance, race and other goals... you can sit [/run!] with us!

This episode is absolute gold and we cover so much, but anyone with a marathon (or other endurance event) coming up will get loads from this. It's now only 2.5 weeks until London Marathon 2025 so give it a listen to make sure you're not hitting that wall - we learned a tonne from Siân so let's get into it!
