Natalie needs no introduction, the first female pacer of the Belfast marathon, larger than life itself, and amazingly completed her 50th Marathon in London today.

Natty lifts everyone she comes in contact with, a beam of light in the dark, always challenging her own limits, a true inspiration within the running community.

One of the most giving people that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, well known for his work with local charities and in playing a significant role in setting up the Run for Autism.

I couldn't have thought of anyone better to start off The Inspirational Runner with other than with Team Kerr, known by most on the marathon scene Davd, Sandra and their son Aaron have found new purpose and direction through the sport and continue to push boundaries and inspire people every where they go.

A great second podcast with a local legend and true gentleman Willie McCracken, he's ran a personal best marathon time of 2:23 (5:25 min/mile) in Dublin and at almost 72 years of age he still manages to push out amazing times in both the 10k and half marathon distances.
