What happens when months of training meet race day mayhem? In this episode, I sit down with Ed Powell to unpack the full story of the 2024 London Marathon — from perfect pacing to painful cramp, emotional meltdowns, and a freak incident involving a rogue rivet through my carbon-plated race shoes. No, seriously. We cover:
👟 The freak shoe malfunction that nearly ruined my race🌡️ How the unexpected heat crushed runners across the course🧠 Why the mental game is everything when your body wants to stop🪙 Medal chat, world records, and the guilt of wearing last year's “finisher” top🎥 Being vulnerable online — and dealing with toxic masculinity in the comments♻️ Why we need to talk about littering and that one guy who keeps dropping gels⚖️ The tension between running for time vs running for joy🧵 Plus: Will Ed run another marathon? And is an OnlyFans the key to funding this channel?
This one’s raw, ridiculous, and very real. Whether you’ve just run London, are training for your first race, or just love hearing two mates rant about the weirdness of long-distance running, you’ll get it here.
