In this episode, I’m joined by Beth McArdle, who recently completed the London Marathon 2026 after months of structured training.
Beth shares her journey from losing three and a half stone, rebuilding her fitness through Women on the Move, taking on HYROX, and then stepping up to the challenge of the London Marathon.
We talk about:
- Starting again in her late forties and early fifties
- Weight loss, confidence and fitness
- Training for a marathon around work and family life
- Running for charity
- Dealing with injury on marathon day
- The emotional pull of London Marathon
- Why your “why” matters
- The power of community, support and stubbornness
- Why it’s never too late to do something remarkable
This is a brilliant episode for any over 35 runner, especially anyone who thinks they may have left it too late to take on a big challenge.
Beth’s story is honest, emotional and inspiring. It’s a reminder that the race itself is only one part of the journey.
