I walk through each of the 10 marathons I've run from the Belfast marathon in 2003 to London marathon in 2022, pulling out the lessons I've learnt from each one and distilling them down to 5 areas: training, nutrition, mindset, pacing and preparation.

You'll see how in the marathon, it's possible to get good days after a not so good training cycle, bad days after a great training cycle and sometimes, everything lines up for a great performance.
