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!
