This week is part two of the big debrief on my journey from injury to marathon.

I delve into navigating work, personal life, and the time commitment.

I discuss the mistakes I made, what I did well, race day experience, and unexpected learnings. Balancing dual careers with training, managing ADHD, setting boundaries, and understanding the importance of rest.

Join me for a real look into the marathon training process of a human that never felt like their body was ‘made’ to run.

In this episode, I walk you through having 4 separate unrelated injuries and building up to completing a full marathon within a 14 month timeline.

Despite not ever being a ‘natural’ runner, I completed Manchester Marathon running continuously and pain free, which felt like a huge triumph after months of set backs and bad luck.

I discuss how my coach and myself worked together to adapt my training to my body’s needs, the importance of recovery, and the reality of marathon training not always being glamorous.

This episode gives you an honest insight into how tough getting back to running after injury can be, and the value of incremental progress along the way. Tune in next week for part two!

In this episode, I explore the feeling of ‘not doing enough’ in areas like fitness, nutrition, and wellbeing, often driven by social media and societal pressures.

I discuss the pitfalls of comparing ourselves to others and the dangers of overwhelming ourselves with too many self-improvement activities simultaneously.

We talk about how to choose what truly matters to us individually and avoid falling into the comparison and self-development traps, that cause us to think ‘Am I doing enough?’ when sometimes you already at doing PLENTY.

We discuss the importance of balancing training and recovery, recognising when to push through fatigue, and when to take a necessary rest. We also touch on alternative gym options and the concept of deload weeks, as well as trusting your intuition and adapting your training routine to fit your own needs and goals. Not too shabby right?
