| 24 Mar 2025 | #1 - GET TO KNOW US ft. Becky's first marathon, running love affairs, hitting the wall & the pain cave | 00:16:17 | |
Get to know us in our first episode where we chat about how we got in to running, Becky's first marathon & more. We're both mums to 5 kids between us juggling getting ourselves to the London Marathon 2025 start line, and can't wait to hear about your journeys too. Running for us is about SO MUCH MORE than physical health - in fact, it's mostly about mental health and how it makes us feel. There are so many super polished and professional podcasts from super speedy runners, experts and athletes that we LOVE for inspiration - but sometimes we just want to hear from normal people, like us, and chat about the sport we love so much with people we can relate to. That's why we're here! No matter how fast and furious or slow and steady you are, whether you're just starting out or a full blown running geek, regardless of your pace, distance, race and other goals... you can sit [/run!] with us!

We share what works for us, mishaps, and going from zero to hero with fuelling.
