#21 - Mick Sears on running his first marathon with First42K First 42K Podcast

    • Fitness

In today's episode, I hosted HGG Performance founder, Mick Sears, who made the commitment to run his first marathon at the 2023 Gold Coast marathon, back in November 2022 live on his own podcast called Squeeze the Juice, when he had me as his guest.

Mick wanted to run a marathon for several reasons - the enormous personal growth that comes with the journey, to inspire his team at HGG Performance, and to be a real-life case study of someone who doesn’t like running and isn’t a runner, but trains for a marathon for the first time with a coach, integrating HGG products into their training regime.

It was a pleasure working with Mick to help him prepare for his first 42k and to see him realise his goal at the Gold Coast Marathon.

There were many laughs throughout this podcast, and we hope you enjoy it!

A quick warning: This episode contains discussions of a death that occurred during the marathon. We would like to pay our respects to this person’s family and send them our prayers.
