Thinking about running your first marathon? Or already signed up and wondering where to start? In this solo episode, I’m sharing the 5 biggest lessons I’ve learned from running 20 marathons, mistakes I’ve made, habits that changed the game, and what I wish I knew before my first start line.

 

These aren’t your typical tips. I’m talking real talk like why hills matter even on flat courses, the importance of tackling niggles immediately, and why consistency always wins over perfection.

 

Whether you’re a beginner or just looking for a reset in your training, this episode will help you run smarter and stronger.

 

What I cover:

  • Why hiring a coach can be a game changer

  • The “niggle rule” every runner should follow

  • Why hills are essential, even on a flat race course

  • Practicing your fuelling and race-day routine

  • How to make training feel easier through consistency

 

🎧 Listen in and get ready to crush your first marathon, strong, smart, and injury-free.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
