The Truth About Running a 2:29 Marathon | Becky Briggs | Ep 57

Becky Briggs joins us to talk about her journey from discovering running as a nine-year-old to becoming a 2:29 marathon runner and GB international. We get into elite marathon training, her first marathon disaster, injury and nutrition, learning to run sustainably, the pressure of chasing performance, her first 50K ultra, and why being happy might matter more than running your fastest ever time.
