Family Running Journey: Parkrun, YouTube & Kids Fitness with Martin & Isabelle | Couch to Coached Podcast

This week on the award-winning Couch to Coached Running Podcast, Rob, Ben, and Emma are joined by a truly inspiring duo — Martin and Isabelle, a father-daughter team making waves in the running world and on YouTube.

From building a growing running YouTube channel to smashing parkrun PBs, Isabelle shares her incredible journey as a young runner chasing big dreams — including one day becoming an Olympian. Alongside her, Martin gives an honest insight into balancing family life, training, and content creation, and the effort that goes into building something meaningful together.

The conversation dives into how running has become more than just fitness — it’s about family bonding, confidence, and creating lasting memories. They also explore the power of social media to inspire others, the challenges of growing a channel, and why keeping things fun is the key to long-term success.

🎧 Highlights include:

• The story behind Martin & Isabelle’s YouTube journey
• Isabelle’s running achievements and future goals
• Why parkrun is at the heart of their running experience
• Balancing family, fitness, and content creation
• Inspiring other kids (and adults!) to get active
• The importance of fun, goals, and community in running

A wholesome, motivating episode that shows running isn’t just about times and distances — it’s about connection, confidence, and enjoying the journey together.
