When I got my place, my running consisted of the occasional 10k and running with friends to catch up on gossip. 2022 was a big year, I turned 50 (gulp) had clear signs of impending menopause, crunching knees and a serious lack of spare time.

How to start? What to eat? How to train? All the plans online looked super-intense with 5 runs a week. How could I possibly fit that into an already busy life? I needed help and joining Marathon Club Hub to train.

Apart from the training plan itself, the best thing about Marathon Club Hub was the education. Turns out there is a lot to know about running a marathon if you want to do it properly and have a good experience.

I wanted to run a marathon to celebrate my 60th year, but needed guidance, advice and support to do it. 

I had run : walked numerous half marathons, I had no idea what to do to complete a marathon.

I loved the whole experience of training with Marathon Club Hub.

The weekly workshops spoon-fed me, so I knew what to do in my training and when. I learned so much about nutrition, exercise and running. I love the comradely of the Marathon Club Hub community runners supporting each other through the weeks of training.

Helen, you speak our language irrespective of where we are on our running and marathon training journey. This means so much. 

Last year, before I joined Marathon Club Hub I’d fallen out of love with running, but have now found it again, plus some!

Turning 50, I felt I had passed my running peak. I didn’t think my legs could manage running a marathon, as I was always tired and sore after a race.

Joining Marathon Club Hub was a game changer. 

I can now run long distances without the burden on my legs that had previously limited my goals. My diet, something I’ve struggled with all my life, is finally at a place where I effortlessly eat healthy, balanced meals every day that support my running and my active job.

Training this way I’ve realised that getting older doesn’t mean you have to give up on your dreams and that you can be fitter than your younger self!
