Running Tales first spoke to Steve Edwards back in July 2020, shortly after he had completed an incredible 903rd marathon.

You can listen to that episode here: https://runningtales.podbean.com/e/steve-edwards-the-man-inside-the-machine-trying-to-reach-1000-marathons/

Steve only counts official races towards his astonishing total - no virtual runs for him - doesn't count marathons he has to walk in and is aiming to get to his goal with an average time of less than three hours and 30 minutes per marathon.

We caught up with Steve - who has now surpassed 950 marathons - to talk about his role as an ambassador at Every Run Counts.

The new initiative aims to reward people’s every day activities to make the nation fitter, healthier and improve their mental health.

Running Tales also spoke to Steve about marathon training, nutrition and how to avoid the wall, as well as his plans when he finally reached that 1,000 mark...
