In this week's episode we were joined by Emily Bond. This year she became the first woman to complete all UK Ironman events in one year. Having only completed her first 70.3 at Weymouth in 2025, she set herself a challenge to see what was possible, after having major surgery back in 2018.  With all challenges there was many hurdles to overcome, training alongside a PhD, knee pain at the start of the year, logistics for each event and a bad chest infection which almost stopped her completing the challenge in only event 2.  Follow Emily on Instagram  Emily's Fundraising Page   For 121 Coaching Enquiries - Coaching Application - Join The Running Hub Check out our Website.

What does it really take to go from a 3:25 marathoner to running 2:27 at Berlin this past weekend?  In this episode, we sit down with our friend and fellow runner, Seb Hansen, who has just run a huge 2:27 marathon at Berlin. Seb has balanced training for Berlin around a busy summer travelling and a full time job.  His marathon journey is a brilliant example of what can happen when you consistently build your training over several years. His first marathon was 3:25, and since then he has transformed himself into a sub-2:30 marathoner. We talk about: His journey from 3:25 to 2:27 How his training has evolved over the years How he balances high-level marathon training with a full-time job Running around 160km per week while working 9–5 What his Berlin build-up looked like How he approaches fuelling and recovery The biggest changes he's made to his training What it takes to break 2:30 What's next after running 2:27? We originally met through running in Kenya, so it was brilliant to sit down and hear the story behind such a huge breakthrough. If you're chasing a marathon PB yourself, there are plenty of lessons in this conversation - whether your goal is 3:30, 3:00, 2:45 or simply becoming the best runner you can be.   For 121 Coaching Enquiries - Coaching Application - Join The Running Hub Check out our Website.
