| 2021 Christmas Special: Lillie Bleasdale | 20 Dec 2021 | 01:17:24 | |
Running a marathon can be hard, even more so when you're injured. Back in October 2021, Emily ran her first marathon where she encountered a number of obstacles related to an ongoing injury. It left her feeling mentally (and physically) defeated and is something she's spent the last few months trying to process. In this episode, Emily is joined by coach and friend of the podcast, Lillie Bleasdale, to discuss her experience of the marathon, the mental and physical side of recovery, and why you shouldn't compare yourself to other runners. | |||
| S2 EP5: Fiona Quinn, Couch To Ultramarathon | 12 Apr 2021 | 00:58:25 | |
Fiona Quinn is incredible. She is the first woman to complete a length of Britain triathlon when she stand up paddleboarded from Lands End to John O'Groats in 2018 (despite being afraid of the sea), having previously walked and cycled the route. Now she’s taking on a couch to ultramarathon challenge, having never really run before in her life. | |||
| S2 EP4: Sam Morris, run coach, parkrun tourist and lover of the marathon | 05 Apr 2021 | 01:05:48 | |
Sam Morris has been running for 10 years this year. In those 10 years, she's taken part in a wide range of running events and races, including 24-hour events and ultra races, and she's got a stack of medals to show for it. However, despite this, it's the marathon that she loves running the most providing her with a mental and physical challenge that she craves. She's also run a parkrun in 25 different locations and is hoping to complete all of the parkrun's in the West Midlands, once restrictions have lifted. Now, Sam channels her passion and enthusiasm for running into coaching women, to support and encourage them with their running journeys. | |||

Mari Thomas is a runner and founder of MAAREE, a revolutionary sports bra brand and three-time winner of Women's Running Magazine's Best In Test Sports Bra for Bigger Boobs. After completing a degree in Sports Engineering, Mari secured a spot doing sports bra testing. Whilst she was in this role, she saw first-hand the lack of research and development that many of the bigger sports brands undertook when creating a sports bra. A few years later, after creating her own prototype sports bra, Mari decided to launch MAAREE and hasn't looked back since. Host: Emily Jones | |||
| S2 EP2: Angela Smith, running and mental health. | 21 Mar 2021 | 01:08:57 | |
Angela Smith is a self-confessed shuffler and (in her words) a big fan of the "party at the back". When Angela took part in her first charity running race, she had no idea how much running would impact her life. After realising that her mental health and Generalised Anxiety Disorder improved with the more running she did, she soon began to embrace her runs and started applying for more races. Since then she's gone on to complete several races (including the London Marathon) and raised money for a range of different charities. | |||

Despite the extreme weather conditions and lockdown restrictions, after 6 hours, Ally crossed the virtual finish line having raised over £2,300 for Mind, the mental health charity. | |||

Leanne Shrive's running journey began with the humble 5K, however, it quickly snowballed into something much more. After completing her first 5K, Leanne set herself a challenge of running 100K within 3 months and when she'd managed to achieve that, her hunger to find a bigger challenge drove her to complete 12 events within 12 months, building up to a half marathon.
