The Running Hub

On today's episode I welcomed back Andy Hully, the race director of Milton Keynes Marathon. We discussed what he's had to do to ensure the races can go ahead in May and how the safety of runners have been in the forefront of all of the planning!

If you wish to run any of the events, spaces are filling up quickly at www.mkmarathon.com.

We were also joined by Richard Bazeley, Baze 187, as we chatted through the anticipation of the London Marathon ballot results for next week. What it would mean to him to get a place and also reminiscing on some great London memories.

Good luck if you are in for the ballot!!

In today's episode we're joined by James Armstrong who is a NHS Physiotherapist as well as owning his own clinic - www.jamesarmstrongphysio.com. On top of this, James hosts his own YouTube Channel to help student physios on their journey, as James knows what it's like to go through the process to gain their qualifications. As well as all of this, he uses his Social Media channels to help educate runners and bust some myths!

James was joined in this episode by his fiance Jodi, who was previously on the podcast in 2020.

With Jodi and James we spoke about their work with the NHS, how they're balancing training at the moment and what it looks like, their wedding plans, what races they have upcoming and the importance of strength work.

This was a great conversation and can't wait to share it with you!

In today's episode we had Seth James DeMoor, American YouTube Vlogger, Pikes Peak Marathon Champion and 65 minute half marathon runner on the podcast.

We spoke to him about his favourite race memories, how he started running and how he balances a huge YouTube channel, being a Dad to 4 boys and his 100 mile+ weeks of training.

He shared his dream race ambitions and how he selects the races he competes in.

It was great to have Seth on as he has such a passion for running and such enthusiasm for everything he does.

We're very grateful for Seth's time and hope you enjoy this episode.

Happy New Year!

Join me in the final episode of 2020 as I sit down to answer your questions.

I reflect on the year and past 12 months and also look forward to 2021.

What are my goals for the year ahead? What challenges have I overcome this year?

Thank you for your support this year so far!

This episode features Ayo Dada, a runner and Adidas Runners Captain based in North West London.

How his journey started has a pretty cool story, being inspired by Super Saturday at the 2012 Olympic Games.

As a leader and captain of a community I wanted to chat to Ayo about the network Adidas Runners provides and how his role is so important in inspiring and supporting others.

Its very clear that Ayo is very wise and he had some great takeaways from this conversation. One being that running is like a boat, when you set off on your voyage, the boat may dock at some points but you'll always be pushing towards the next destination.

As well as wise, he's also talented, going from a 4.58 marathon to 3.01 in one year and taking part in the Speed Project where collectively 6 runners completed 550km in an average speed of 3.44 per km which is also 6 min mixing.

I can't wait for you to listen to this one!

In today's episode I'm joined by 2 more Running Hub Members, Tim and JP.

These guys have recently joined the Team and train with us from a distance.

We chatted about the benefits of the Hub, what they love about it and how they find training with the group from a distance!
