About this Podcast:
Running the London Marathon is a dream that many of us have but never actually achieve. In a year of record entries, Virgin Radio UK’s Emma B has got herself a place in the 2026 event, and this series follows her journey to the start line - not as an elite athlete, but as a woman dealing with everything midlife throws at you! It’s a podcast about running, yes… but more than that, it’s about choosing to say yes to yourself. Across the series, Emma is joined by inspiring guests from runners and coaches to experts and everyday stars, who share their wisdom about what it really takes to train for a marathon. Whether you’re training for your first one, getting back into running after time off, or you’re looking for an entertaining podcast, we’re here to help! This is not about winning races, it’s about proving something to yourself and saying “I CAN”. Hosted on Acast. S
