Ep. 4 - Marathon Madness! Jimmy Ashworth and Dearbhla Cox

It's marathon season! Michael and Dan get chatting with the legendary Jimmy Ashworth and in-form Dearbhla Cox. Jimmy has a marathon PB of 2:11:43 and has won several major marathons such as Berlin! He tells us about how it was living and training in a 'golden era' of British distance running and how to get through a 150 mile week with no carbon-plated trainers. We then switch it up and chat with the always impressive Dearbhla Cox fresh off a marathon PB in Amsterdam. You'll hear all of the usual results from the big local races and a bit of chit-chat in-between. Thanks for joining us for another week and we hope you enjoy the episode!
