As a coach, I’d never advise it. As a runner, I had to do it. Here’s what four marathons in four weeks taught me about recovery, mindset, and how far the body can really go.🔥
Some things are just completely out of your control. I hate not being in control. I am thanking my Guardian Angel every. Us marathoners are a stubborn bunch and it was going to take a lot more than that, to get to me to not line up!
Make. Every. Day. Count! Appreciate the support!

Thanks so much for reading, I hope there was something in here you can take straight into your training.
This week you watched me take on Valencia. Next week, I’ll be breaking the marathon down properly; the highs, the lows, what worked, what didn’t, and what’s next. You can also expect a new workout, another tip of the week to keep you moving forward, and my latest blog: 5 key changes I made to break 2:20 in the marathon!
Plenty to look forward to as we head into Christmas 🎄
