  • The one about growth, glory and running head on into battle with the Big 'C', with Beth Shearer

    The Press Play & Run Podcast is turning pink for the next two weeks in honour of this week’s guest, the incredible Beth Shearer!


    At just 28, Beth has progressed from humble running beginnings to the peak of qualifying for and completing the Boston Marathon and clocking a championship qualifying time for London 2024.


    This remarkable success was followed by the biggest challenge of Beth’s life when she was recently diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer.


    Join us as Beth shares the story of her running, diagnosis and how running is playing a part in her treatment, alongside the most inappropriate joke anyone has ever made on the podcast!
