This is part 8 of a series following my journey from T1 diabetes diagnosis to my next marathon.

Today's bonus episode was recorded right after my Sunday long run where I ran the last 20 miles of the Belfast marathon course. There were a few surprises both with the route and some personal issues!

However, it was good to get a lay of the land and realise that my game plan might need to change a little as a result.

Recovery has been top of mind this week too and I talk about easy runs, steady runs and strides and a little about mileage too.

'26.2 days to master the marathon' is a course to optimise your nutrition, mindset and execution of the marathon so you can run faster, stronger and more confidently. Doors are open now! Go to:
