The Running Hub

I thought it would be an interesting idea to invite some previous guests back onto the podcast and catch up with what they've been up to recently.    We caught up with Mark from Ep 5, James from Ep 1, Naomi from Ep 2 and Duncan from Ep 3.  I asked them what they've been up to since March, how the current times may have affected their running, what's been keeping them motivated and what they're loo...

In this episode it's a role reversal.

Rudi, owner of the Treatment Lab clinic joined me to share his own running journey and how the clinic has been impacted by current events.  I've been treated by Rudi for over 3 years so trust in everything he does and says!  As a fellow runner, Rudi sees and treat a lot of runners from all over Milton Keynes and as a runner himself can relate to our injuries and setbacks. Rudi is also part of the...

When we first met I was taken aback by her shoe knowledge and if I ever need advice then I know she's the lady to go to!...

Welcome to Episode 13, where I had the pleasure of talking to Badminton Olympic Silver Medallist and World Champion Gail Emms. The way this chat came about has a small story behind it. My Dad, who's one of my biggest fans, saw that Gail Emms had been working with some sports team online and then sent her a message asking if she'd be free to come onto my podcast. After I slid into her DMs we got ch...

In Episode 12, I had the honour of sitting down with Michael McKillop, Irish International Runner and Paralympic Champion three times over. After discovering at a very young age that he had cerebral palsy, his parents actively encouraged him to live a full and happy life and at the age of 5 received his first pair of spikes. Sounds like he was destined to run as his Dad is a PE Teacher and also hi...

With the uncertainty of when the next race is, James and I thought we'd sit down and chat about what training is looking like for us now and how we aim to stay motivated throughout this period.  Daily life has changed for us both and we talk about how we plan to use our time effectively.  Hope you're all coping with training well! x

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of sitting down with Paul Mizon, Bedford and County Runner to discuss his phenomenal journey and progression through the years.  His journey started around a lake, running 5km as he simply didn't want to pay a joining fee at the gym.  He now has run 14.40 for 5km, 67 minutes over half marathon distance and still wants to go quicker.  His 'keep at it' attitude...

As Covid-19 (coronavirus) has hit, it's had a huge impact on health, mental well-being, jobs, the economy but also the spring race calendar for runners.  I took the opportunity to sit down with three lovely ladies who all had Spring Marathons booked and how this will impact their race calendar and training for the rest of the year.  We discuss the emotions, feelings and thought processes in the mi...

I'm joined by Duncan from DSF Coaching a performance mindset coach to discuss how as runners we can have a 'toolbox' ready of strategies to enhance our running performance.  We chat how being aware of your mindset can affect not only race day but during training too.  I loved chatting to Duncan as we've worked together in the past and I've had such a positive experience.  You can find Duncan Faceb...

In episode 2 I sit down with Naomi Avery, a client and now good friend of mine to chat about fundraising and challenges.  In 2018, Naomi took on a year long challenge to raise money for the Milton Keynes Hospital Charity which enabled her to use the funds raised to benefit the ward she works on.  We chatted about the challenge, how she found the fundraising and what challenges we have this year in...

Kickstarting the podcast with episode 1 where I sit down with James, sub 3 marathon runner to chat about all things marathon training.  It's peak marathon season so what an ideal time to talk about those 26.2 miles!  Join us as we laugh and debate our way through how to train for a marathon and what we'd tell our former running selves.  Hope you enjoy.
