The Running Hub

This weeks podcast is discussing nutrition and some myths we believe to be wrong.

James and I are not dieticians or nutritionists, however over the years we have researched, experience and gain knowledge surrounding nutrition.

For us nutrition is a really personal thing and it takes time to find out what is right for you. We believe it's down to how you apply your research and knowledge to your own regime and lifestyle.

We busted some myths such as:

• Carbs are bad
• Eating late at night is not a good thing
• Being leaner makes you faster
• Running fasted will help you to burn more fat

As James' track season comes to a close, we wanted recap the last few months he's spent running round in circles. I also wanted to gain a little more insight into how he got and on we wanted to share how you can get involved yourself maybe next year if you've been inspired.

Track can be a daunting thing, but hopefully this shows that anyone can take part, you just have to find the right races for you, go along with a friend and be pushed outside of your comfort zone slightly.

We then chat about James will transition this speed work into marathon training as he is working towards Amsterdam Marathon on 16th October and Katie is working towards London Marathon on 2nd October.

Are you training for your first marathon? Then this episode is definitely for you!

We wanted to cover training for your first 26.2 mile distance, showcase the rollercoaster of emotions that you go through before race day, and to let you know that it's OK - it's very normal.

Why you don't have to run the full distance before race day and trusting the process.

And update you on how our Marathon Academy members are doing. The Marathon Academy is our new group coaching programme and a lot of our members are training for their first marathon this Autumn.

If you've done multiple marathons before you may be able to empathise with everything we discuss in this episode or even pick up something new!

We start this episode with our usual catch up, updating you on our teams achievements and our training!

In this weeks episode, coaches Katie and James discuss the Big Half Marathon held in London by the London Marathon Events organisers.

This years race is on the 4th September, starting at Tower Bridge and finishing at Cutty Sark. In this episode we discuss the race, the course and how you can run it to your favour, training in the lead up, tapering and just general advice on how to get the most out of training for a half marathon.

Both of us are back from our hen and stag do's so full steam ahead now for final wedding plans and marathon training! Thank you for following us along on this journey and being a part of it.

Nicky Edwards is a physiotherapist and women's training advocate. In this episode we discuss how to manage training as women, why strength training is SO important, how to use your cycle to get the most out of your training and how to manage training through the menopause.

Although some men wouldn't think this episode is for them I would encourage them to do so, to further understand the sport and their knowledge to help support their peers and partners.

An interesting episode, where it does get deep and personal at times, but these are topics which don't often get spoken about and we're here to open up the conversation.

We hope you enjoy this one, and let me know if you'd like to see me run the London Marathon this year in a wedding dress?...

The track season in running takes place throughout the summer.

At the moment James and a few other Hub members are including some track racing in their training schedule, so we thought we would start the conversation around track training and racing. We speak about our experience with the track, how we use it to benefit our training and talk about the accessibility of it.

On the Bank Holiday weekend Milton Keynes hosted the MK Marathon weekend!

We had a vast amount of Hub members taking on a variety of distances so wanted to fill you in with how everyone else got on.

James also took on the relay and Katie took on the marathon as a lot of focus this year on the podcast has been about our marathon build up.

Thank you for helping us to reach 50,000 downloads.
