About this listen
Olympic champion Sir Mo Farah and Body Coach Joe Wicks lend their advice, expertise and moral support to George Lamb as he trains for the 2018 London Marathon. This blood, sweat and tears journey follows George as he transforms from couch potato to long-distance athlete in just 17 short weeks. Packed with entertaining anecdotes and essential training tips, this series gives budding runners all the help they need when it comes to getting marathon fit.
New episodes are released every Monday, following George's natural progression as he embraces the challenge, beginning with choosing the right footwear and ditching the worst offending foods, tips on pacing and motivation, and finally race day hacks: like a last minute caffeine boost and how to avoid chafed nipples.
This week we look at the perils of injury and overtraining. Following on from last week's Q and A, this week's episode focuses on injuries: how to reduce the risk of getting one and how to keep your head up if an injury does strike.
With 10 weeks to go until race day, Mo doesn't take kindly to George's moaning, Joe's not impressed by his flexibility and George meets legendary sprinter Derek Redmond, who relives some dark times.
