Let's Get Running Podcast

The quest to get Shaun's around the Frankfurt Marathon in under 2hours 20mins continues! We talk about his race win at a wet and windy trail race on Dartmoor, and his lack of recovery since then. We also start thinking about race day nutrition and discuss the ketone drink HVMN with elite rower and Research Lead, Brianna Stubbs. Could it prevent Shaun's dicky belly during the race and propel him under the 2.20 barrier?

We also discuss how you can physically join in with the training...if you live in the London area.

On this week's show we talk to the inspirational Tom Holden. In May 2017 Tom, a GB Junior international athlete, was involved in an accident which caused damage to his brain affecting his movement and speech. Doctors thought it was unlikely Tom would walk again, but incredibly Tom has fought back- and is slowly starting to learn to run again. He speaks about how the love and support shown by his family, friends and fellow runners has kept his going. He still has a long way to go but his positive is infectious.
