About this episode
Rose Harvey is one of British athletics' most extraordinary stories... a former corporate lawyer made redundant during Covid who took up marathon running seriously for the first time at 28. One decision made over a beer in the pub changed her life!
Within a year she had qualified for her first England team, became British Champion at the 2022 London Marathon, represented GB at the World Championships, and running 2:23:21 at Chicago in 2023 to put herself sixth on the British all-time list.
She then competed at the Paris Olympics with a stress fracture in her femur, finishing the race before scans revealed she'd run on a broken thigh bone.
Listen for an incredible story of transformation!
