Yes She Can

Over the next few weeks most of us will be well into spring marathon training. Something that I'll always shout about is the mental load of marathon training and the importance of managing this before the mental fatigue leads to burnout. Enjoy this ep and let me know your thoughts. I've had some feedback on audio quality and it being too low so let me know!! Happy running. Megan x

WOOHOOO it's good to be back doing my favourite thing - podcasting!!! I got myself a new mic so double celebrations!! This is a quick solo episode answering your questions from the box I put on my story last week. I discuss preparing for long runs, balancing training and life, excuses vs pain, the impacts of stress on running, returning to running after injury, and more. I could answer 10000 questions on running so there will be more where this came from.

Key message: running is here to complement our lives. Take a deep breath and remember that you're doing your best.
