We sit down with Scottish running superstar Morag Millar for an honest, engaging and fun chat! Morag dives into her journey from a football-obsessed kid (opposing parents thought she was a boy) to becoming a European Junior champion. She reveals about her Commonwealth Games race (mostly powered by... aqua jogging?)Morag also gets seriously personal about balancing elite training with motherhood and the magical power of pelvic floor physios.

We chat about:• The Traumatic Truth: She only took up athletics to get faster for football, but the coach's promise of fewer injuries was definitely a lie!• The Aqua Games: How running the Commonwealth Games 1500m final at 19 was less about training and more about surviving off an intense aqua-jogging regime.• The Unforgettable Snack: Morag talks about a 'massive' ball of meat on a stick in Estonia!• "My Old Body" and the Grind: The only thing worse than a 12-mile Sunday long run is the fear of accidentally throwing out your treasured Scotland jersey during a house clear-out.• From C-Section to Super-Mum: The emotional and amazing story of her second birth, the incredible care she received, and why pelvic health physio is a non-negotiable priority for running mums.• 40 is the New 5K PB: Morag is in a race against the clock (and her 40th birthday!) to snag a spot on the V35 all-time list before being forced to dominate the V40 category.• The Real MVP: Morag reveals the secret to balancing elite training, clinic work, and two young kids: a massive support team of magical grandparents.
