Description

This week, we’re joined by presenter and ultra runner, Jess Furness who this year, is taking on an incredible 42 marathons.


 


Jess is a familiar face from The Running Channel, but this year she’s taken things to a whole new level. We chat about why she set herself this challenge, how she’s balancing it with work, life, and content creation, and what she’s learning, both physically and mentally, from taking on such a huge goal.


 


We also dive into:


Jess's sub-3 marathon journey


Dealing with pressure and online expectations


Training (and recovering!) when you’re always racing


Finding joy in the miles, even when it gets tough


 


Whether you're deep into marathon training or just love a story about pushing limits, this one’s full of insight, inspiration, and a good laugh or two along the way.
