    Running, Working & Parenting: The Truth About Balancing It All

    In this episode, we get real about what it actually takes to balance marathon training with a full-time job and raising kids — no filters, no fake "just wake up at 4am" advice.

From there we discuss some better alternative marathons worth considering if you didn't get a spot, and have an honest conversation about whether major marathons are getting too busy — bigger fields, longer queues, more crowded courses — and what that means for the future of race day experience. In this episode we cover: How to actually fit marathon training around a full-time job Balancing parenting, running and work without burning out London Marathon ballot results — reactions and what the odds were really like The best alternative marathons if you missed out on London Are major marathons getting too oversubscribed and crowded?
