What does it take to keep chasing marathons at 69 years old?
In this episode of Eat Sleep Run Repeat, we sit down with masters runner Stuart Greaves — a former 2:22 marathoner who’s preparing to toe the start line once again nearly five decades after his peak.
Stuart opens up about:
•Running elite marathon times in his prime
•Stepping away from the sport — and what pulled him back
•Training for a marathon at 69 (what’s changed and what hasn’t)
•Mindset, consistency, injuries, and longevity
•Why he started his YouTube channel “Marathon 50 – The Long Return”
•What running still gives him all these years later
This is a powerful conversation about identity, ageing, discipline, and unfinished business — whether you’re a competitive runner, a weekend warrior, or someone wondering if it’s ever “too late” to return.
If you believe running is a lifelong pursuit, this episode will hit home.
