In this week's episode we're joined by Hub Member, Vanessa Tillbrook.  Vanessa joined the community at the end of 2022 as began training for Edinburgh Marathon. As part of the Marathon Academy, Vanessa enjoyed the structure and connections with other community members. This enabled her to run 3.46 in the Spring 2023 and gain Good for Age for London.  She then went on to be coached by James and ran 3.31 at the London Marathon gaining her a Boston Qualifying time.  She attributes her success to hard work, strength training, yoga and being resilient in the tough times.  Listen today to Vanessa's story and be inspired by her journey from sheep farmer with a poor diet, to GFA and BQ qualifier in 18 months!    Follow our new coach Hayley on Instagram.  Shop our new Adidas Range on our website.  Join our Group Coaching Programme - The Running Hub Plus+     Apply for 121 Online Coaching with The Running Hub  Watch us on YouTube Follow us on Instagram - @therunninghubcommunity
