The Milestone Pursuit
The Milestone Pursuit podcast started in the lockdown of spring 2020 as a way of supporting people with their running when we could only run alone. It began with Mindfulness in Running (featured in The Guardian) and now provides 3 things;
Workouts, where I (Steve) record a training session for you to download and run along with me as if I'm there with you
Recovery Rambles, where I run easy around the beautiful Epping Forest and talk about something on my mind
Conversations with the Elites as part of our scheme to invest in underfunded British Elite Marathon runners.
The podcast has spawned some off-shoots in the form of:
Marathon Milestones, a podcast coaching programme like couch-to-5k but for the marathon
Early Milestones, a podcast coaching programme to support people trying to get better at 5k and 10k
The Milestone Pursuit Running Club, where we provide a community of graduates of Early Milestones with ongoing sessions to help them maintain and further improve their running fitness.
Detail are on our website and at our Patreon page
The Milestone Pursuit is an action-oriented performance coaching business, operating in running and in business. It was founded in 2015 by Steve Hobbs, British Athletics Endurance Coach, 2h30 marathoner and AC Accredited Business Performance Coach.
