#127: University Runner to Sub-Elite: George Grassly's 2:15 London Marathon Attempt.

from Diet Starts Monday Podcast · host Roscoe Carter-Johnson

He races London Marathon in 3 days. This is the conversation before. George Grassly isn't a professional athlete. He works a 9-5, trains 200km weeks around it, and in 3 days he lines up at the London Marathon chasing a sub 2:15. In this episode we get into how we went from not taking running seriously at university to competing at sub-elite level, what is actually takes to run that volume alongside a full time job, and why he believes Sunday is the day he does it. This is a conversation about discipline, consistency and refusing to use normal life as an excuse. Diet Starts Monday.💙 I’m also running London Marathon on Sunday for Leukeamia Care.
