The Plodder’s Superpower – "Happy Marathon Girl", Bev on running without a top gear

In this debut episode, I talk with Bev—marathon runner, music lover, and proud plodder—about how running unexpectedly became part of her life. She opens up about starting out with no fitness, finding community through a mental health group, and the marathon that still makes her proud.

We chat about the highs (literally finishing with a beer), the lows (threshold runs in super shoes), and the playlists that define each training block. From her thoughts on solo runs to race-day emotions and her running superpower (endless plodding), Bev’s honesty and humour make this a story every runner—or future runner—will relate to.
