Running 26.2 miles isn’t just about race day—it’s the culmination of months of early mornings, long runs, mindset shifts, and showing up when it would’ve been easier not to.

In this episode, we sit down with Ricki Stone, a recent London Marathon finisher to unpack what it really takes. We dive into the training behind the scenes, the nutrition strategies that fuel performance, and the recovery habits that keep everything moving when your body starts to push back.

But more than that, we explore a powerful truth: the marathon itself is just the finale. The real work—the growth, the discipline, the resilience—happens in all the miles leading up to the start line.

Whether you’re a runner, a lifter, or just someone chasing a goal that feels slightly out of reach, this conversation is a reminder that the process is where the magic happens.
