30 Years of Running Marathons

Send us a Text Message.

Have you ever wondered how something as simple as running could transform your mental and physical health? Join me as I unravel my 30-year journey with running, from the exhilaration of major marathons like London and Dublin to those solitary, introspective runs during harsh winter months. Together, we'll uncover how running nurtures discipline, fosters goal-setting, and builds self-resilience, all while combating the sedentary lifestyles that dominate our modern world.
We'll also explore the powerful sense of community that running brings. Whether it's the electric atmosphere of major races or the close-knit feel of local events like Burnham Beeches Half Marathon, running has the unique ability to forge lasting friendships and boost mental resilience. Hear personal stories of pushing through injuries and life's obstacles to maintain a routine, and discover how those shared experiences contribute to a profound sense of well-being and confidence.
Finally, let's embrace the outdoors and the rejuvenating benefits of connecting with nature. From taking those first steps in a park to dreaming big with marathons or ultra marathons, physical activity offers tremendous mental health benefits. Listen as I preview my upcoming race and share the excitement of setting new goals, promising even more insights and stories in future episodes. Join me in celebrating movement as a powerful antidote to inactivity and a pathway to a more positive mental state.

Thanks for listening. Keep on running.
