Jordan has an incredible story from being a mum for the first time just 12 months ago to completing the 2021 London marathon in 3 hours 10 minutes. We discussed this journey and the dedication to training required but also touched upon some of the darker parts of social media, including one particular forum that exists with the sole purpose of vilifying celebrities and social media influencers.
Jordan’s story is a very positive one. From being an obsessive runner who overtrained and focused only on hitting the prescribed sessions and mileage to now being more relaxed about her running thanks to her daughter coming into her world a year ago. The end result, in her own words, was her most enjoyable marathon ever in London. There are loads of useful tips throughout for people at different stages of their fitness journey.
Topics covered and order of running;
The dark side of social media and its impact on mental health
Pre-baby running and the dangers of overtraining
Post-baby return to running and being at ease with running when time allows, which in turn means enjoying it more!
You can find Jordan on Instagram and her website.
