Jordan Foster, AKA Project Marathon Girl, is the Head Coach and Owner of PMG Coaching, a coaching service for runners.

In this episode, Jordan tells us about how and when she fell in love with running and how that ultimately resulted in her launching PMG Coaching. Jordan also shares her advice on what you should do if you’ve plateaued with your running, the signs you should look out for if you’re worried about burning out from too much training and how her training has changed during her pregnancy.

At the time of publishing this podcast, Jordan was 33 weeks pregnant and expecting her first child with Danny, who coincidentally was our guest in episode 19 of the Eat Your Greens podcast.

Jordan also talks about how social media can be used as a force for good. The realities of setting up your own business, and what advice she would give other people thinking about starting their own business.

To connect with Jordan, she’s @projectmarathongirl on Instagram. PMG Coaching is @pmgcoaching on Instagram.
