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. We talk about the chaos, the mindset shifts, and the practical systems that actually work when life is pulling you in five directions at once. We also dive into the London Marathon 2027 ballot results — how it felt to get in (or not), what the odds actually looked like this year, and why so many runners are frustrated with the process. 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? Practical tips for training smarter with less time If you're a busy parent trying to train for a marathon, stuck in ballot limbo, or just love honest running conversations — this one's for you. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly running chats, training advice and honest conversations about the sport Hosted on Acast.
