#30: 4 years older and 4 minutes faster in the half marathon with very special guest Louise Ladd

Louise is my better half who is the creative eye behind my social media and my guides. However, she has also rediscovered her love for the running after nearly 4 years out following injury and the pandemic having just run a 4 minute half marathon PB of 2:07.

Her running story is one of early breakthroughs followed by setbacks caused by injury and a loss of motivation. We talk about how running for the right reasons and building up the social side of things as well as properly structured training has helped her to come back stronger than before.

This episode will give you inspiration if you have been out for a while or have plateaued and lost some motivation. Sometimes it seems like those times achieved many years ago are unattainable but sometimes all it takes is a shift of mentality to accompany good training.
