Mile Five

In the second part of our conversation, Chris and I chat about the struggles of fundraising and how important it is to keep pestering our friends. This was the final recording before the marathon itself, which will definitely be debriefed in a future episode. But the short version is - I loved it & am so grateful for every pound donated to Macmillan Cancer Support, it truly was a boost that got me round all 26.2 mile. There is still time to donate! https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/nineminutemile Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I am so delighted to continue my conversation with Jen about the huge benefits of running, how it impacts so much more than our legs and how we hope we never have to stop.

I am delighted to catch up with our good family friend Jen to hear about coming to running later in life and the essential kit and motivation we need to get off the couch in the first place.

Welcome to the first episode of the Nine Minute Mile, a nine minute podcast all about running and the mad things we do for an excellent cause. It is only fitting that my first guest is one of the London Marathon’s biggest fan. Katharine and I could easily sit in the pub chatting about running and marathons for hours, and have done many times, so it was only right to kick off this podcast with a double episode to give a glimpse of our regular topic of conversation. All this running is for an excellent cause and I'd be so grateful for any donations to Macmillan Cancer Support ahead of the big day! https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/nineminutemile Hosted on Acast.

Hello! And Welcome to the Nine Minute Mile - a podcast sharing stories about running, fundraising and the crazy things we do for a good cause.  In October 2021 I have the ridiculous and frightening privilege to run through the iconic streets of London in order to raise money for the wonderful Macmillan Cancer Support, this year's official charity of the race. Over nine minute episodes, timed to match my target race pace, I hope listeners can be inspired to learn, donate, tell their own stories and perhaps even run. Tune in for the first Nine Minute Mile episode very soon!I am so grateful for any donation to Macmillan Cancer Support and more details are available here: https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/nineminutemile Hosted on Acast.
