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.
