Graham Green has been running since he was 11 years old when seeing his first cross country race made a huge impression on him. Whilst going on to have a successful career as a firefighter in the North West of England, Graham was able to win the M50 category in the London Marathon in 2015 & 2018 and has a marathon PB OF 2:32.

Graham's Instagram posts are enormously inspiring as is his hard work and sheer determination. He's also passed that love of the sport down to his son, Ben. One of the founders of Run Through, one of the UK's largest race organisers. Together they broke world records for fastest father and son at both marathon and half marathon distances.

Graham is a hugely motivational and impressive runner and is frank and honest with his training and work ethic.

I defy you to listen to this and not be inspired.

I hope you enjoy the episode
