Today’s episode is all about proving that age is just a number and speed is still very much on the table. Nicky and Shona chat with Jackie, a 58-year-old runner who swapped hockey sticks for start lines and qualified for the Boston Marathon after taking up running seriously in her 50s. From parkruns to personal bests, consistency to confidence, this episode dives into how small, smart changes can lead to huge breakthroughs... no matter when you start.
It’s the perfect listen for anyone who’s ever thought: “One day when I’m big… I’ll run Boston.”
