Ep 143 - How to run a marathon with NO training with Ian McNamara
About this episode
Grit, strength, determination and ignorance...
... all qualities we admire and are essential when running your first marathon.
But what if you ran your first marathon without ANY training at NIGHT and with a SIX HOUR cut-off (oh, and you'd been drinking all day...)?
Sounds ridiculous, right?
Well, that's exactly what Ian McNamara did and his story of losing a bet and running his first marathon on no training made it to the pages of UNILAD.
Here's the story, if you didn't see it: https://www.unilad.co.uk/video/guy-completes-entire-marathon-without-training-as-punishment-for-losing-fantasy-football/
We'll level with you. Ian is a hero for our times, and we discover just how ridiculous this challenge was (and how funny) during the chat.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
