    • Marcus’ journey of Running 4:55 Marathon - 2:56

    • How Marcus felt after achieving the major goal
    • Being mindful of others whilst we strive for our own goals

      • 48. Rav Billan - Run Streak Day 974 - Marathoner. Breaking the stereotype. How to focus on your goals, and dreams despite facing negativity from others and navigating imposter syndrome

        Today’s guest is not only another runner, but a Not Another Runner listener, and friend, Rav Billan.

        Rav is a runner who is currently on a Run Streak and at day 974 today the 06/11/20 (if my maths serves me correctly). 

        Rav and I talk about so many great things during this chat - which was recorded 3 weeks ago - (for reference). We talk about how Rav got into running, why and how she started run streaking, the judgement Rav has faced with running, and run streaking; what motivates Rav; why breaking the stereotype is important, and we talk about imposter syndrome too -  and how we can continue to follow our dreams and goals despite the negative talk we may face.

        It was so great to be able to chat with Rav and understand her goals, mission, and motivation. If you ‘re listening today - please take a screen shot - share with Rav and I online, and let us know what you take away from this chat.

      • 45. Ruth Bennett @ruth_runs "Keep Going, and never give up" - How to remain motivated with your running.

        Ruth Bennet, is a wife, mother to two and a Secondary School Drama Teacher. Ruth who is also widely known as @ruth_runs online via Instagram is a Team Runderwear, Runr and Pretty Athletic and Premax Ambassador. 

        Ruth started running in 2001. Much of her running journey began with her late father. Ruth will be running this Saturday - a Marathon to Mark the milestone birthday she has coming up next week. Ruth will be raising money for the local Hospice Charity which supported her and her sister when her father passed. You will hear about Ruth’s father in this chat - and the link to Ruth’s Just Giving Page is in the show notes for this Podcast, please see Apple Podcasts - and see the Show Notes below.

        This was such a great chat with Ruth - I’d been wanting to get her on Not Another Runner Podcast for such a long time, it ended in perfect timing - right before Ruth's big birthday and Birthday Marathon Fundraiser. 

        We chatted abut Lockdown, and how she managed these difficult times with balancing family and training. We spoke about motivation, and how to remain motivated in training; injury and how coming back can make you so grateful, and we spoke of how Ruth has improved with her running over the years. Ruth tells us how she went from a 2:15 Half Marathon in her Twenties to 1:44 and how she improved her marathon from 5:25 to 3:55 at age 39.

      • Not Another Runner's Life #2 with Marcus BrownMarathon Training, Black Trail Runners, Injury and TikTok and Instagram Reels
        This Episode of the Podcast is the 2nd instalment of the Not Another Runner’s Life, where I am joined by my co-host Marcus Brown. This is a conversation between two friends, discussing: 
        Current events in the Running World and Community
        Inspiring stories and snippets from both our Podcasts
        What we have learnt within the month from the World of Podcasting
        Current and trending topics
        Questions for each other; including how we are doing with training, running and life
        And then we finish off with something positive.
        This Month we discuss Marcus’ very busy and exciting schedule, the inspiring episodes he has published over on his Podcast: A Runner’s Life this past month. Marcus informs us all on Black Trail Runners - their aim, and how he is involved with the community. We also hear about Marcus’ Marathon Training and upcoming Goal.
        I catch up with Marcus about Not Another Runner’s latest episode with ultra runner and Elite Runner and Redbull athlete Tom Evans, Marcus shares his views on this episode and I confess to one of the embarrassing and big mistake I made during that interview, but also some great take aways and insights from this interview, and what myself and Marcus observe from hosting a Podcast. I catch you all up on what’s been going on in my little world; we chat about injury and living daily with pain. I speak about my recent Month-long meditation and what I have noticed since not practicing daily, and one tip I find useful with meditating.
        One of the biggest things we talk about in this episode, is remembering that we can only control that which is within our control. And approaching stressful situations in a calm manner where possible. Why you can prepare the best you can, but still on the day things won’t always go to plan, but reflecting on the experience is beneficial for moving forward.
        We talk about social media, including Instagram Reels, TikTok - and the benefits of utilising Social Media. I explain how I have used Instagram and Instagram Reels to source Podcast guests and material!!
