The Running Hub

In this week's episode we're joined by Tom Bosworth, a British two-time Olympic race walker who holds three World records including the 1 mile best of 5:31.08. He has had an amazing career including, six British records, 13 British Championships gold medals and a silver Commonwealth Games medal. He's now retired at the tender age of 32, so luckily for us he has a bit more time on his hands at the moment to come onto the podcast. Tom shared his very decorated career and what it takes to be an Olympic athlete. We discussed what's next including getting married at the end of October. We hope you enjoy this episode and find it very inspiring!

With Autumn marathons just around the corner, what a great episode just in time for the taper! The taper is a period of time, just before you target race to set you up well for race day. It's where you begin to reduce the volume and intensity of your training so you feel well rested and ready to go ahead of the 26.2. Good luck with the rest of your training and the final few weeks leading up to race day.

This weeks podcast is discussing nutrition and some myths we believe to be wrong. James and I are not dieticians or nutritionists, however over the years we have researched, experience and gain knowledge surrounding nutrition. For us nutrition is a really personal thing and it takes time to find out what is right for you. We believe it's down to how you apply your research and knowledge to your own regime and lifestyle. We busted some myths such as: Carbs are bad Eating late at night is not a good thing Being leaner makes you faster Running fasted will help you to burn more fat Social Media Links https://www.facebook.com/TheRunningHubCommunity/ https://www.instagram.com/run_with_coachkatie/ www.therunninghub.co.uk https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtT1HmOPM0zsOqjU9nU0UZA Running Training Plans and Online Coaching [email protected] [email protected]

As James' track season comes to a close, we wanted recap the last few months he's spent running round in circles. I also wanted to gain a little more insight into how he got and on we wanted to share how you can get involved yourself maybe next year if you've been inspired. Track can be a daunting thing, but hopefully this shows that anyone can take part, you just have to find the right races for you, go along with a friend and be pushed outside of your comfort zone slightly. We then chat about James will transition this speed work into marathon training as he is working towards Amsterdam Marathon on 16th October and Katie is working towards London Marathon on 2nd October.

Nicky Edwards is a physiotherapist and women's training advocate. In this episode we discuss how to manage training as women, why strength training is SO important, how to use your cycle to get the most out of your training and how to manage training through the menopause. Although some men wouldn't think this episode is for them I would encourage them to do so, to further understand the sport and their knowledge to help support their peers and partners. An interesting episode, where it does get deep and personal at times, but these are topics which don't often get spoken about and we're here to open up the conversation. We hope you enjoy this one, and let me know if you'd like to see me run the London Marathon this year in a wedding dress?...

Bex Carton ran the London Marathon on 3rd October 2021. She trained for 8 months to get to that stage, but at the end of it was subject to a few unkind comments after tweeting a picture once she had finished. I knew, and everyone else knew around her how hard she trained for that race day. So I wanted to welcome Bex onto to the podcast to share her story, have her voice heard and open up the conversation around inclusivity for runners. Thank you Bex for being a wonderful guest, you are inspiring!
