Podcasts about London Marathon

Ellie White's 40s did not go gently. A pandemic upended her life in London and moved her to the Sussex countryside. She fell in love with the idea of becoming a mother for the first time at 43, found out she was pregnant, and very sadly lost her son at 22 weeks. Less than a year later, she had a miscarriage.  She saw a photo of herself on a hiking holiday in Switzerland and didn't recognize the woman looking back at her and knew she needed a change.  She started running. She ran the London Marathon. She trained as a health coach. And somewhere in the middle of all of that, at a birthday lunch when she was 47, she ordered a mocktail instead of champagne, just to see what would happen. She's been alcohol-free since.  Ellie is now a 5x certified coach specializing in wellness and alcohol-free living for women in midlife, and this conversation shows that a relationship with alcohol rarely changes in isolation.  It changes when everything else is changing, when life has pushed you far enough that you finally stop and ask what you actually want. We talk about grief, midlife hormonal changes and why alcohol makes every single one of them worse, what reinvention actually looks like for the women Ellie works with, and what it meant to lose her dog Maddie six months ago while alcohol-free, and to actually be present for all of it.   IN THIS EPISODE:  Losing a son at 22 weeks, then a miscarriage less than a year later, and what those losses set in motion How grief became the catalyst for a complete life overhaul, including retraining, running, and eventually eliminating alcohol The birthday lunch decision at 47 that changed her life, and why she describes it as her rebel side showing up How alcohol interacts with perimenopause hormones, progesterone, estrogen, cortisol, and sleep in ways most women don't realize What two months alcohol-free has looked like for one of Ellie's current clients The woman who went on a walk on the beach instead of a pub garden and accidentally joined a mermaid sea swimming group What it was like to lose her dog Maddie while alcohol-free, and why she's grateful she was sober to drive her to the vet that night   Find Ellie at elliewhitewellness.com and on Instagram @byelliewhite Join over 20,000 souls who tune into weekly newsletters on the competitive advantage you get alcohol-free.

The biggest buzz at the London Marathon this year wasn't just the racing, it was around Nomio. It's a performance shot used by athletes like Cole Hocker and Conner Mantz. Nomio is used before their key sessions and races, whether it's breaking the American Marathon record or getting WC gold in Tokyo. If you want to check it out yourself, it's at drinknomio.com and if you're in Australia or New Zealand, you can find it at Aid Station, and over at The Running Company. Julian sits down with Jimmy Whelan (professional runner, former cyclist, Barcelona resident, and Salomon-sponsored athlete) for a wide-ranging conversation covering Jimmy's season update, his unconventional path to becoming a full-time pro, marathon ambitions, training philosophy, and some candid takes on athlete pay and doping in running.

Not long ago, endurance athletes relied on familiar foods such as jaggery, dates and bananas for energy. These foods still have their place, but sports nutrition has become far more specialised. Energy gels and carbohydrate drinks now allow runners to carry and consume measured amounts of fuel without having to chew or carry bulky food.At the elite level, fuelling has become almost as carefully planned as training and pacing. Before Sabastian Sawe's world-record run at the 2026 London Marathon, Maurten's nutrition team spent months testing and refining a personalised strategy that allowed him to consume approximately 115 grams of carbohydrate per hour.But recreational runners face a more basic set of questions. What makes a gel effective? Does the glucose-to-fructose ratio matter? Should it be taken with water? And how can runners increase their carbohydrate intake without upsetting their stomach?In this episode, host Aditi Pandya speaks with Vikas Malik, endurance runner, researcher and co-founder of LEAP Nutrition. Together, they examine what goes into energy gels and how runners can select, practise and use them more effectively.What's covered in this episode:What is inside an energy gel: the roles of glucose, fructose, sucrose and maltodextrinWhy gels combine different carbohydrates: how multiple carbohydrate sources can help the body absorb and use more energy than relying on glucose alone,Understanding different gel formats: the practical differences between concentrated, isotonic, hydrogel and high-carbohydrate gelsHow much carbohydrate runners need: why the traditional limit of around 60 grams per hour has expanded to 90 grams and beyondTiming gels during a marathon: why runners should begin fuelling before fatigue appears Training the gut: how runners can progressively become more comfortable consuming carbohydrate and fluid at race intensity, rather than simply testing flavours during an occasional long run.Using caffeine strategically: whether caffeinated gels should be saved for the second half of a race and how caffeine may affect runners who are sensitive to nausea, anxiety or gastrointestinal discomfort.Cramps and added ingredients: whether sodium, potassium or magnesium can stop cramps once they begin, and what evidence exists for ingredients such as amino acids and creatine during a marathon.Choosing the right gel: what to check on the nutrition label and how to test the carbohydrate quantity, texture, flavour and intake schedule before race day.A simple first-marathon strategy: how a new marathoner can select a gel, build a sensible fuelling schedule and practise it repeatedly in training.Host: Aditi PandyaAditi is a seasoned endurance runner and the host of The World of Running podcast. She has qualified for the Boston Marathon multiple times and has earned several podium finishes at Indian races, including first runner-up in the half marathon at TMM 2025. She ran a personal best of 3:22:35 at the 2026 Boston Marathon. Learn more about her at aditipandya.com.Guest: Vikas MalikVikas holds a PhD in physics and has extensive professional experience in food and pharmaceutical research. He is an accomplished marathon and ultramarathon runner with a marathon personal best of 2:47. In 2017, he recorded what was then reported as the fastest 100-mile performance by an Indian runner, completing the distance in approximately 18 hours and 20 minutes. Vikas is the co-founder of LEAP Nutrition, where he has been involved in developing sports-nutrition products for endurance athletes.References and resources discussed:RunStrong: Online training platformLEAP Nutrition: Sports nutrition products for endurance athletesSabastian Sawe's world-record fuelling: Maurten's testing and race-fuelling reportMaurten: Hydrogel-based energy gels and drink mixesRunners' Guide to Energy Gels

A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming—but what happens when the next words aren't “Here's what we're going to do,” but instead, “Here are your options. You decide”?In this episode of The Many Faces of Cancer, Melissa talks with Paul Davies, a prostate cancer survivor, television producer, lifelong educator and Chair of Trustees for Tackle Prostate Cancer in the UK.Because Paul's father died from prostate cancer, Paul began regular PSA testing in his 40s. Years later, despite feeling healthy enough to run the London Marathon, a change in his PSA began a months-long journey through testing, uncertainty and eventually a prostate cancer diagnosis.But receiving the diagnosis wasn't the end of Paul's uncertainty—it created an entirely new kind.Faced with several possible treatment options, Paul found himself overwhelmed by research, potential side effects and the enormous responsibility of choosing the treatment that was right for him. Then, during an interfaith meeting, a rabbi friend offered a sentence that changed everything: prostate cancer might not kill him, but indecision might.Paul shares how he finally made peace with his treatment decision, why avoiding “treatment regret” matters, and the remarkable full-circle moment when that same rabbi later called Paul after receiving his own prostate cancer diagnosis.Today, Paul uses his experience to help others through Tackle Prostate Cancer, an organization supporting thousands of people through more than 160 support groups across the UK. He also discusses Make Sense of It, an initiative designed to help people navigate the difficult period between diagnosis and treatment.In this conversation, Melissa and Paul discuss:• The importance of knowing your PSA history and recognizing changes over time• The emotional toll of waiting for a cancer diagnosis• Why having multiple treatment options can sometimes increase anxiety• How personal circumstances influence cancer treatment decisions• Making a decision you can live with without future treatment regret• The unique emotional challenge of active surveillance• The power of cancer support groups and peer connection• Turning your own cancer experience into support for someone else• Paul's simple strategy for managing worry during cancer treatmentPaul's story is an important reminder that there may not always be one “right” cancer treatment decision. Sometimes the goal is to gather the information, understand what matters most to you, make the best decision you can—and allow yourself to move forward with it.Resources:Tackle Prostate Cancer Website: https://tackleprostate.org/Paul's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pauldavs/Follow:Follow me: https://www.instagram.com/melissagrosboll/My website: https://melissagrosboll.comEmail me: drmelissagrosboll@gmail.com

This week's chat with Hannah is all about Big Fish Energy, the mindset she's been building for the last 18 months that took her from sitting on ideas to speaking at Atomicon, running the London Marathon, and going solo camping at a festival.We get into what a big fish goal actually is, why naming your thing changes what's possible, and the tiny confidence reps that build up to the bigger wins.What we get into:* Why naming your concept, offer, or mindset makes it feel real (and how Big Fish Energy came about)* Using jealousy to help you actually figure out what your big fish goals are* The one question to ask yourself in any moment you're about to shrink backAbout Hannah:Hannah Isted is the founder of HI Communications and the author of The Best 90 Days Ever. She's been running her business for over 11 years, helping small business owners promote themselves in 10 minutes a day through her membership of the same name.

Dan Woodger — freelance illustrator, animation director, and returning Daring Forever guest — joins Radim to unpack Run London Draw London, the project he built alongside training for this year's London Marathon. ~Starting from a blank canvas in January, Dan invited people to donate £5 to add a hand-drawn character to a sprawling crowd-scene illustration of the marathon route, turning strangers, club runners, and eventually Paula Radcliffe, pro athletes, and podcast hosts into part of the artwork. The conversation ranges across the collision of running and illustration, the frustration of NDA'd client work going unseen, the highs and lows of a data-obsessed relationship with Strava, and the sheer force of just asking for what you want. It closes on marathon day itself — cramp, crowd energy, and a mid-race bottle of water from Mo Farah — and on what comes next for the project.TakeawaysThe project raised over £5,000 for Oxfam, well past the initial £2,000 target, entirely self-funded and self-runDan built the crowd scene in public on Instagram, showing the process rather than only the finished piece, as a deliberate response to AI in the industryTwo hundred characters were needed to fill the scene — a number he set himself before a single donation came inGetting Paula Radcliffe, Mo Farah, pro athlete Julia Paternain, and the Ellis James and John Robins podcast involved all came from cold, slightly odd, direct asksFrustration with NDA'd client work — and the resulting quiet in his inbox — was part of what pushed him to make something fully his ownRunning and illustration turned out to share the same trap: comparing your own work-in-progress to everyone else's highlight reelOn race day, cramp hit from 30K onward, but the crowd — and strangers recognising their own drawn characters — carried him throughHe's already thinking about a second edition, ideally with a brand or sponsor covering the printing and shipping costs he covered out of pocket this time Daring Creativity.

Two women build the same membership. One sells it for two million. One cannot sell it at all. The difference is not the work.The difference is a faculty. Call it the inner masculine, the principle of structure, the part that thinks about the end at the beginning. He is the one who says: I am not going to waste fifteen years of this.Most spiritual women never bring him in. What happens then is not dramatic — it is quiet. Fifteen years of building, then exhaustion, then the whole thing set down, because when you are burnt out you cannot be bothered to do anything except not do anything. What was built gets thrown away. Not sold. Thrown away. She did not fail. She built something that could not be handed to anyone, because it did not work without her.The cost is not abstract. The same membership, same members, same revenue, is worth two and a half times its profit or seven times its profit depending on decisions made years earlier — whether the work was written down, whether the community holds itself, whether its people are valuable to somebody else. On a business earning a million in profit, that is four and a half million pounds of difference, sitting entirely in the structure.Jess walks it through on a real membership: five hundred wealthy golfers at $500 a month. What it brings in. What the invested portion becomes by year seven. What it sells for — and why five hundred golfers are worth something to another brand that five hundred strangers never could be. That leverage is chosen at the beginning, in who you decide to hold.Then the same principle in different clothing. Why nothing works without knowing where the finish line is. Training for a sub-three-hour marathon and counting to ninety for three hours straight, because the race is not won by fitness. What a mind does with no end point — the distraction, the consuming of everyone else's opinion because you do not have your own plan. Not a different subject. The same faculty, applied to a body instead of a business.And then resourcefulness, which is what the masculine gives the feminine so she can rest: Richard Rudd's refugee camp, carrying a pinnacle vision into the dark night rather than waiting for clarity on the far side, and what happened at the London Marathon start line that money could not buy.Build it so you could sell it. You may never sell. But everything that makes a business worth buying is the same thing that lets you rest inside it.00:47 — The hobby business, and the wounded feminine at tens of millions02:14 — Fifteen years of work, set down and thrown away04:33 — Why a membership suits a woman's physiology05:01 — Pricing from your future self, never from the market07:58 — An asset, or a nine-to-five you built for yourself08:55 — The numbers: 500 golfers at $500 a month10:58 — Year seven, and what the pot pays you13:27 — What it sells for, and why the buyer decides the multiple14:53 — Leverage: strangers versus a community someone wants18:16 — Building for an exit doesn't mean you have to exit19:41 — The businesses that cannot be sold at all20:28 — The marathon: structure, split times, counting to ninety29:33 — What a mind does without a finish line43:57 — Richard Rudd, the refugee camp, and resourcefulness45:49 — Carrying the vision into the dark night of the soul52:19 — The London Marathon start line, and what money can't buySee what your membership brings in monthly, what the invested portion becomes, and what the membership itself would sell for — at two and a half times, four times, and seven times.https://spiritualised-the-vessel.netlify.app/#exitEvery figure here is an illustration, not a projection.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast: Second Wind, our July series Why Are We Like This? continues with a look at the social side of endurance sports. Runners and endurance athletes bond over some very strange things: hills, heat, porta-potties, chafing, finish lines, race medals, bad decisions, and the phrase “never again” even though we are absolutely going to do it again. This episode dives into how shared suffering can create fast friendships, whether it happens during a rough race, on a brutal hill, at mile 10 of a half marathon, or through the shared heartbreak and celebration of something like London Marathon lottery day. We talk about the race friend pipeline, where strangers become familiar faces, familiar faces become running buddies, and running buddies become road trip partners, run club regulars, post-race beer companions, and family. There is also plenty of love for the post-race story economy, because runners trade tales of heat, hills, blisters, bathroom emergencies, forgotten registrations, and miserable races like sacred currency. We also dig into endurance peer pressure, group bad ideas, FOMO, and why “come on, it'll be fun” has probably caused more suffering than most training plans. But this episode also reminds us that life outside the miles still matters, whether that means concerts, lake weekends, family obligations, recovery, or simply putting the Garmin down for a while. Finally, we look at why run clubs work, especially places like Chasing Rabbits Run Club, where the miles matter, but the conversations afterward may matter even more. Why are we like this? Because somewhere between the miles, the misery, the medals, the group photos, and the parking lot conversations, we found our people.

Welcome back to Cheers with Nat – the podcast dedicated to cheering on women in drinks. When I (re)launched this show back in March 2026, the idea was to have conversations that made us all feel connected, celebrated, cheered up, and cheered on. (So, I hope you'd agree you feel that way when listening!) Importantly though, I didn't want those feelings to end after each episode. My vision for Cheers with Nat has always been to keep cheering people on… so that's what we're going to do in this episode! To wrap up Season 1, we'll hear from each guest – some in their own words – about what they've been up to since we recorded, as there's always something to celebrate. Please note that there won't be any new episodes of Cheers with Nat for the rest of summer, but I'll be busy recording for Season 2, which will launch in September 2026. I'll also be enjoying a bit of time off, and I welcome you to keep up with my adventures! (I'll be interrailing through Germany with my partner, Nigel, and will be sharing lots of updates on my Instagram, @cheers_with_nat) In the meantime, please do continue to spread the word about the show… and be sure to tag me in your posts, as I'd love to know who is listening! I also welcome any guest suggestions for future episodes. Of if you're part of a business or brand that might be interested in sponsoring a season or a dedicated mini-series, please get in touch via cheers@beerwithnat.com. Thanks, as always, for listening, have a lovely summer, and chat soon. Cheers!   Links & things: Ep 1 – Georgia Kelly is now back in beer, working for Two Tribes Brewery in London.

She also recommends we all need to try Croatian Malvazija Istarska. Ep 7 – Amélie Tassin shared that the Women in Beer mentorship programme is now entering its 5th cohort and that the Awards & Festival have been confirmed for the week of October 20th in Manchester.

In episode 180 I'm discussing a trio (or treble for you darts fans...) of topics that are on my mind this week.Firstly I discuss the two day London marathon weekend next year and the ballot results that landed last week. I look at how relying on the ballot even on a double year is not proving fruitful for too many and what you can do about it.Secondly, the heat has been affecting many of us recently and is set to continue for at least another week. I look at ways of dealing with it and how to get the most out of hot training sessions.Lastly, I'm very excited to talk about being moved onto an insulin pump in the next month or two. It has been a little while in getting to this point but the wheels are definitely in motion and I share the pros and cons of the pump over pens for running and life.If you feel you're losing your way a little with training, nutrition or racing then one to one coaching might be the next right move for you.

the second chance drawing for the one-time two-day london marathon was today. did you get in? do they tell you which day you run? or are all the second chancers on the same day?

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to the podcast, on this episode we chat to Alice Lucas, Alice says"My sporting background has been a little stop start.  As one of two girls, my mum encouraged (pushed!) us both into ballet and dancing, which I loved socially but was a disaster at.  Meanwhile, Dad was a sub 3hr marathon runner and competitive triathlete, who I idolised!  I started running at 18 - primarily to lose weight - and did my first triathlon in my early 20s on my early teenage mountain bike, but came 3rd in my AG and loved it.  Fast forward a decade or so, and I joined a running (with a hint of triathlon) club in London and had a couple of years of very amateur racing, with a strong running focus.  2020 was to be my year - unexpected ballot place in the London Marathon after 15 years of trying, several triathlons in the calendar, a 300km ride in Sweden and my first 70.3.  Alas - 2020 was no one's year! Sort of fell off the wagon, but moving to Bath in 2022 reignited my excitement for the sport and I joined the world's best tri club (while I acknowledge I'm biased, I wholeheartedly believe this to be true!).  Working with an equally epic PT, I set the goal of AG racing.  I told anyone who would listen, and worked to overcome fear on the bike (work in progress), improve technique in the water (ditto) and speed up my run (there's a theme here).Eventually raced my first MD last June and landed a qualifying time which took me to Alsdorf for the European MD Duathlon Champs last month, which was a sensational experience!I'm nothing if not ambitious - still have a LOT of work to do across all disciplines, a lot of kit to upgrade and many years of this sport ahead of me.  But objective one unlocked, proof that mindset and psychology are huge factors in any competitive sport (and business for that matter), and game on to see how far I can take this!

Brett Clothier is Head of Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU), and in this episode, he shares more about his career in sport integrity and the work that he and the team at AIU are doing to help protect clean sport. We discuss some of the biggest challenges the sport of athletics (track and field) is currently facing, AIU's efforts to address these issues, how AIU engages with stakeholders across the sport landscape to cultivate a culture of integrity, and AIU's role in major sporting events, including the recent London Marathon where Sebastian Sawe's record-breaking performance made headlines alongside his voluntary commitment to a strict anti-doping testing protocol.

In this episode of Midpoint, Gabby sits down fellow broadcaster Sophie Raworth. Sophie is one of Britain's most recognisable faces on the BBC news for over thirty years, and someone who has covered some of the most significant moments in modern history and interviewed some of the most important figures of our time. But this conversation tis around a different subject. Away from the newsroom, Sophie has built another passion entirely. At 40, having done almost no exercise for decades, she decided to run the London Marathon. She collapsed two miles from the finish. She got up and did it again. She has now completed all seven World Marathon Majors, more than twenty marathons and ten ultra-marathons, including the 150-mile Marathon des Sables across the Sahara. Her first book, Running on Air, published by Bloomsbury, tells the story of how running changed her — not just physically but in the ways that actually matter. This is a conversation about resilience, getting things wrong and what it takes to keep going and how MidPoint is often, the perfect time to try something new. Hosted on Acast.

This week's guest turned a 2025 DNF into a winning performance. After the heartbreak of last year, Ed Payne came back swinging, and what a comeback it was. A superb race saw him kiss the wall in just over 82 hours, taking the overall win at the 2026 Montane Summer Spine.Eddie's flying solo on hosting duties, while Ed takes us through all the deets, the highs, the lows, the finish‑line feels, and exactly what it takes to conquer the Pennine Way when it's doing it's best to break you.Pic Credit - Clorroe | Photography & Creative MediaHARRIER - Use code TATP10 for 10% off - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMeaXMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRFENIX LIGHT LTD - Use code T&T5 for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION - Use code TEA2026 for 15% off your first orderPRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zSTRAVA - Use code TEA for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Adhttps://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEASUNGOD - Use code TEA15 for 15% off your order - https://www.sungod.co/en-gbBEARHUG - Click the link to receive 15% off your order.https://getabearhug.avln.me/c/PAmERmkwPealContent contains affiliate links which help support this channel at no cost to you.Brew with the Coaches - CLICK HEREHardmoors - https://www.hardmoors110.org.uk/Trail Outlaws - https://www.trailoutlaws.com/13 Valleys Ultra - https://www.13valleysultra.com/Beyond Trails - https://www.beyondtrails.co.uk/Hellfire Events - https://www.hellfireevents.com/Dales Runner - https://dalesrunner.co.uk/Run The Wild - https://runthewild.co.uk/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Yellow Belly Ultra - https://yellowbellyultras.co.uk/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

He talks about spending six months travelling through Europe, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia, continuing to run while overseas, and deciding to post on Instagram every day despite fear of judgment and Australia's tall poppy syndrome. Matt and Brady also dive into endurance nutrition, including GI issues, low fibre intake, artificial sweeteners, gut training, carb loading, race fueling, liquid carbohydrates, sugar water, maple syrup pouches, Maurten, caffeine, cadence, injury, HYROX, and Brady's goal of returning to finish the London Marathon.

In this episode of Hurdle, host Emily Abbate sits down with two-time Olympian and 2018 Boston Marathon champion Des Linden for a conversation about redefining limits. Fresh off completing the legendary Marathon des Sables (MDS)—a grueling, self-supported 167-mile stage race across the Sahara Desert—Des takes listeners directly inside her tent. She shares the realities of surviving on grit, managing endless blisters, and navigating the longest run of her life: a staggering 62-mile day. Des breaks down the exact mindset it takes to avoid "negotiation mode" when the going gets tough and explains how her recent transition into the ultra-trail world has altered her relationship with the sport. Plus, she gives us a behind-the-scenes look at running the Boston Marathon as a "commoner" alongside her husband, Ryan, and her recent trip to the London Marathon. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS The Reality of MDS: Why Des swapped the roads of Michigan for the Sahara, how she managed self-supported gear, and what it’s really like to share a rudimentary tent with seven other runners. Silencing the Inner Negotiator: Des outlines her mental strategy for pushing through low moments and why reaching a state of self-pity only slows down forward momentum. The Blister Protocol: A look at managing the inevitable physical toll of a multi-day desert race and choosing to stay positive through the discomfort. Boston as a one of us: What it felt like to start further back in the corrals, weave through massive crowds, and burn extra matches to finish right before her husband, Ryan. The Next Chapter: Des chats about her strategic pivot to media and storytelling with her podcast Nobody Asked Us, her upcoming plans for the Chicago Marathon, and her sights set on the Havlina 100. QUOTABLE MOMENTS "The guardrails are off. Let's see where this goes." "This is literally what you signed up for... make the decisions to make the right choices because that's really what the event for me is all about." "As soon as we start to feel sorry for ourselves, it's like, you're just not going to be productive. So, take the little wins." "No one's going to fight for you as much as you... if you're not believing in yourself even more than everyone else, you've got to really think about what you're doing."

We kick off the episode by celebrating National Outdoor Equipment Maintenance Day before diving into our recent weekends. Erin recaps her trip to the local Kempton Fair, complete with tractor pulls, upcoming frog jumping contests, and a ride operator broadcasting on TikTok Live. Erin then details her chaotic but ultimately amazing trip to Cellar Beast Winehouse in Andreas, Pennsylvania, where she tackled wine-tasting etiquette, judged an entitled millionaire, and discovered a phenomenal $65 bottle of wine. We also share a quick pull-up progress update, announcing Erin's new ability to hang unassisted and move around the bar, a skill she absolutely plans to show off when we attend the USATF Outdoor Championships. Finally, we give a quick merch update on our premium, sturdy NonMembers Only koozies and the Team Struggle Run shirts that Dan is actively packing and shipping. In tech news, we review Snapchat's new augmented reality Spectacles, which look so clunky they seem like a joke and apparently caused the company's stock to plummet. Moving into the running world, we review the viral antics of "The 5K Guy" running inside a fridge and an oven, another creator completing a marathon without touching the ground using lawn chairs, and Matt Planks holding an agonizing two-hour and 28-minute plank for the Aerial Recovery Group. We also touch on the Cape Town Marathon joining the World Marathon Majors, the London Marathon expanding to a massive two-day event, and our fears about private equity firm L Catterton purchasing the indoor fitness race Hyrox. We even highlight a crazy story out of the Netherlands where a marathon was postponed because organizers accidentally hired a serial fake ambulance worker. Oh, and we definitely need to secure press passes to the Estonian Bus Driver Championships. For our FIFA segment, we discuss the two lucky fans getting paid $50,000 to watch all 104 World Cup matches inside a glass cube in Times Square. We also applaud the clever marketing tactics of brands like Levi's and Gillette, who creatively covered up their stadium logos with white outlines and foam shaving cream to comply with strict FIFA rules. After sharing how heartwarming it is to see Americans welcoming international soccer fans with open arms—from the Algerian national team in Kansas to Scottish fans in Boston—we wrap up with our "No Bad, No Sad" segment. This week, we highlight an NYPD officer who brought joy to the chaotic Knicks parade by playing a massive game of tic-tac-toe with fans across the street barricades, and we send a special shoutout to Knox crushing it on the kazoo.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we are catching up on a very busy June with a stack of race reviews, a heat warning, and one massive personal announcement. We start with the big news: Kyle is officially heading to the 2027 London Marathon, which will complete his original World Marathon Majors journey after Chicago, New York, Boston, Berlin, Tokyo, Sydney, and finally London. From there, we dive into the June race review backlog, beginning with the Heroes 4 Hospice 5K in Overland Park, a meaningful race supporting hospice care and one of the few local 5Ks still skipping finisher medals in favor of keeping the focus on the cause. The next day brought the I Wanna Rock 5K, run on nearly the same course but in the opposite direction after a massive pre-race thunderstorm turned the morning into a soggy, humid rock-and-roll sweat fest. We also revisit the cancelled Clinton Historic Half Marathon, where severe storms and flooding wiped out the final running of the half marathon distance and threw Kyle's race-count math into chaos. Then we head to Tulsa for the Treat Trot 15K, a last-minute race added during a podcast planning getaway that featured three repetitive out-and-backs, summer heat, a second-place age-group finish, and a glorious post-race Bomb Pop. Finally, we review the Sunglasses Run 10K at Longview Lake, where excessive heat, limited shade, and thick humidity made the new 10K option a true summer sufferfest, even if the medal turned out to be one of the best sunglasses-themed medals yet. This episode is a full June running junk drawer: local races, travel miles, cancelled plans, hot-weather lessons, big goals, and the next step toward London.

This week, we sit down for a chat with Ultra Scotland 100 champion, Anna Rutherford.Anna made history as the first ever female to win the Ultra Scotland 100-mile ultramarathon.Not only did she take the overall win, she smashed the previous course record — finishing in 20 hours, 53 minutes, and 25 seconds, cutting more than three hours off the old record of 24:19:25.In doing so, she also became the first ever female to win outright at a GB Ultras event.We go right back to the beginning of her journey, exploring how she balances solo parenting three young children while still putting in some truly epic training miles.And we're excited to see what she can do next at the 2026 Race Across Scotland.HARRIER - Use code TATP10 for 10% off - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMeaXMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRFENIX LIGHT LTD - Use code T&T5 for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION - Use code TEA2026 for 15% off your first orderPRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zSTRAVA - Use code TEA for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Adhttps://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEASUNGOD - Use code TEA15 for 15% off your order - https://www.sungod.co/en-gbBEARHUG - Click the link to receive 15% off your order.https://getabearhug.avln.me/c/PAmERmkwPealContent contains affiliate links which help support this channel at no cost to you.Brew with the Coaches - CLICK HEREHardmoors - https://www.hardmoors110.org.uk/Trail Outlaws - https://www.trailoutlaws.com/13 Valleys Ultra - https://www.13valleysultra.com/Beyond Trails - https://www.beyondtrails.co.uk/Hellfire Events - https://www.hellfireevents.com/Dales Runner - https://dalesrunner.co.uk/Run The Wild - https://runthewild.co.uk/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Yellow Belly Ultra - https://yellowbellyultras.co.uk/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

Both hosts have actually been out running this week, nothing wild, still baby steps for them both, but you can hear it already… that little lift in their voices. They're loving having the wind in their faces again, even if it's only for a few miles at a time.The coaches dive into a great question from an athlete with some big goals, but who might just need a proper cheerleader in her corner.Strava, as always, does not disappoint. You lot have been out there getting it done on the streets and the trails, serving up some sensational Heavy Flexes and a couple of cracking Tales from the Trails.And to round things off, we reveal our chosen Mastermind subjects, which may or may not expose some very niche obsessions.HARRIER - Use code TATP10 for 10% off - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMeaXMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRFENIX LIGHT LTD - Use code T&T5 for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION - Use code TEA2026 for 15% off your first orderPRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zSTRAVA - Use code TEA for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Adhttps://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEASUNGOD - Use code TEA15 for 15% off your order - https://www.sungod.co/en-gbBEARHUG - Click the link to receive 15% off your order.https://getabearhug.avln.me/c/PAmERmkwPealContent contains affiliate links which help support this channel at no cost to you.Brew with the Coaches - CLICK HEREHardmoors - https://www.hardmoors110.org.uk/Trail Outlaws - https://www.trailoutlaws.com/13 Valleys Ultra - https://www.13valleysultra.com/Beyond Trails - https://www.beyondtrails.co.uk/Hellfire Events - https://www.hellfireevents.com/Dales Runner - https://dalesrunner.co.uk/Run The Wild - https://runthewild.co.uk/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Yellow Belly Ultra - https://yellowbellyultras.co.uk/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

HUGE news for all runners... the London Marathon is getting a whole other day! 2027's version of the London Marathon will be a one off DOUBLE event, taking place on the Saturday and the Sunday!Jenni is here with all the information you need to know...

Kyle Weise joins the podcast again with the Gold Coast Marathon now just 16 days away. Kyle shares how his build has come together after consistent 110-125 km weeks, including a key long-run session of 3×7 km late in the run where he progressed by feel, closing strongly into a headwind.

They also cover Kyle's final long run, taper plans, fueling strategy, bottles as priority A, carb pouches, caffeine gels, electrolytes, and targeting around 100 grams of carbs per hour. The conversation also gets into low-mileage success examples, group progress, Marty's sub-2:40 attempt, strides and hill sprints, reducing anxiety around training, London Marathon moving to a two-day format, Matt's planned 5K benchmark, and Kyle's decision to race in the Puma Fast-R.

As marathon runners, we think we understand endurance, pacing, and the tech that drives our sport. But what happens when you take the legs out of the equation and replace them with Formula 1 engineering, 3D-printed hard gloves, and highway-speed descents?In this episode, I sit down with an absolute titan of endurance sports: Marcel Hug, the "Swiss Silver Bullet." He is a 12-time Paralympic Gold Medalist and the most dominant athlete across the Abbott World Marathon Majors. Marcel just matched a historic milestone by winning his eighth London Marathon, and I wanted to bridge the gap between our running community and his world.We skip the fluff and go straight into the sports science. Marcel breaks down why he can race 8 to 9 marathons a year when we can barely survive two, how he navigates extreme downhills at 80 km/h (50 mph) without a steering wheel, and how his custom-molded carbon chassis ensures zero energy loss. If you love high-performance gear, brutal physiology, and the elite mindset, this conversation will completely change how you view marathon speed.The "Silver Bullet" Trademark: How a simple Christmas gift from his junior coach became a global symbol of dominance.The 9-Marathon Season: Why the smooth, cyclical physics of a push-rim chair allow wheelchair athletes to race nearly ten marathons a year with minimal joint impact.Technical Analysis (Chassis vs. Shoes): While we look for energy return in foam, Marcel looks for zero energy loss in his rigid, custom-molded carbon fiber seat.Punching at 20 MPH: The material science behind 3D-printed hard gloves and how athletes "hit" the push-rim rather than grabbing it.The Wind Tunnel Discovery: Why F1 aerodynamics forced a shift from solid disc wheels back to open-spoke wheels.The Strict Mindset of a Champion: A rare look at Marcel's internal dialogue when pushing the absolute limit entirely alone at the front of a Major.My Favorite Moment: "In a daily wheelchair, you grab the wheels with your fingers. With racing gloves, you punch the rim. Every single ounce of energy from your upper body has to go directly into forward movement." — Marcel HugConnect with Us:Our website: https://www.marathonjournal.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/runningpodcastYouTube: https://youtube.com/@marathonjournalFollow us on Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/30798607Our website: https://www.marathonjournal.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/runningpodcastFollow us on Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/30798607Connect with Us:

This week's podcast features an interview with Great Britain's Paula Radcliffe, one of the best-known names in running for the past 30+ years.Radcliffe first gained international prominence when she won the World Jr. Cross-Country race (on a snowy day in Boston, MA) in 1992. She had a great track career, and then moved up to the marathon, where she enjoyed unparalleled success. Among her biggest wins: three London Marathon titles, and three NYC Marathons.At the 2003 London Marathon, Radcliffe ran a then-almost-unthinkable 2:15:25 to set a world record that lasted for 16 years. It even survived the first several years of the super-shoe onslaught until Brigid Kosgei ran 2:14:04 in the 2019 Chicago Marathon.A little more than a year ago, Radcliffe, then 51, came out of marathon retirement to run the Tokyo and Boston Marathons with finish times in the mid 2:50s. This gave her finishes in the six original Abbott World Marathon Majors races.Radcliffe currently lives in Monaco with her husband, Gary Lough, a well-known coach and agent, and a 15-year-old son, Raphael. Raphael has recently gotten serious about his running, and lowered his 1500-meter best to 3:59. An older daughter, Isla, who had a cancer scare in her teen years, is studying at college in Great Britain.Radcliffe stays deeply involved in the sport through her track and marathon commentary for various TV outlets. She also co-hosts a podcast titled “Paula's Run Club,” and promotes youth-running opportunities with several organizations.In this conversation, Radcliffe talked in depth about her early running experiences and influences, her peak training, her favorite runners, the current women's marathon world record (2:09:56, by Ruth Chepngetich), and much more.To learn more about Radcliffe and her activities, check out her Instagram account.WHERE TO FIND "RUNNING: STATE OF THE SPORT"Use your smartphone to download our podcast from Apple, Spotify, Pandora, YouTube, or other podcast players.

Alex Milne joins the pod just four days after his fourth-place finish at Comrades. Alex reflects on missing the podium by only 58 seconds, his huge race block from Valencia to Seville, Worlds 50K, London and Comrades, and how he is now building toward the 100K World Championships in Spain.

He explains why he was happy with the performance overall, but still frustrated to miss the podium by just 58 seconds, and talks through the difficulty of knowing your exact race position during an ultra like Comrades. Alex also breaks down one of the busiest racing blocks in elite distance running, including Valencia, Seville where he ran a 2:11:41 PB, the World 50K Championships, London Marathon while sick, and then Comrades. He explains why he prefers racing often, recovering well, and building through shorter but effective training blocks rather than long uninterrupted build-ups. Matt and Alex discuss how he balances elite training with teaching and parenting, using run-commutes, long lunch breaks, and consistent Box Hill hill sessions. Alex shares details around his 45-65K long runs, threshold work, race-specific Comrades sessions, fueling approach with Nomyo, Flycarb bicarbonate, high carbohydrate intake, sodium needs, heat training through hot baths, strength work, physio, and his plans for the 100K World Championships in Spain on September 20.

It's an episode of extremes today, girls. PJ has been recovering from the worst hangover of his life after taking some bad drinking advice from an evil twink. Meanwhile, Kevin's been to watch his pal run the London Marathon, and he can't get over how supportive and wholesome the vibes are. And how hot the lads are.For the theme this week, the boys are breaking into the Khia Asylum: the fictional pop star purgatory manned by the Bebe Rexha's and Ava Max's of the world. They wonder what it takes for a pop girl to get stuck there, how they can break free, and whether Mickey Joe Harte deserves a cell. Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here

“I just had to always remind myself: be yourself, put in the work, stay present, and trust that it gets better as you go.”My guest for today's episode is Sharon Lokedi: the back-to-back Boston Marathon champion. Last month, she became only the second athlete since 1994 to win Boston in consecutive years, crossing the finish line in 2:18:51 for her second straight crown. The way she won it was extraordinary: she sat patiently through a 19-woman lead pack, waited until the hills, and then between 35K and 40K ran a 14:48 5K split — faster than the NCAA outdoor 5K record set on the track just two days earlier. She won by 44 seconds.Sharon won New York in 2022, finished 4th at the 2024 Paris Olympics, won Boston in 2025, and again in 2026. She has become one of the most complete competitors in the women's marathon — someone who doesn't need the fastest time on paper to believe she can beat anyone in the field on race day. She also ran the entire race on a borrowed Garmin because she left her own watch at the hotel and only realized it on the bus ride to Hopkinton.In this conversation, Sharon walks through the build, the pressure of returning as defending champion, and how she managed the expectation while staying grounded. She takes us inside the race itself: covering early moves, reading the hills, using the lead car as her focal point during that extraordinary 35-40K surge, and the moment she finally let herself enjoy it on Boylston Street.We also get into what it means to her to inspire other women and how she got to throw out the first pitch at Fenway Park.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavezGuest: Sharon Lokedi | @shazrineProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSXENDURANCE: When you finish a hard workout, the work isn't actually done.

Authorities arrested an armed man as he attempted to storm the White House Correspondents’ dinner while President Trump was onstage. Aamer Madhani of the Associated Press details how events unfolded inside the ballroom. How the would-be attacker got so close to Trump has raised serious questions about security at the venue. Politico reports on authorities’ efforts to understand the protocols that allowed the suspect to approach so closely and how he brought firearms inside. News of the incident surrounding Trump hasn’t deterred the U.K.’s King Charles from a planned visit to the U.S. this week. David Charter of the Times of London joins to discuss how the visit could affect relations between the two countries. Plus, where peace talks with Iran stand after a U.S. delegation canceled a negotiating trip to Pakistan, Trump’s nominee for Fed chief appears to be headed for confirmation, and a record-setting day at the London Marathon. Today’s episode was hosted by Cecilia Lei.
