#38 Trailer for: Midlife Marathon - Is 58 really too late?

In this episode Michelle and Patrick demystify the “wow” factor that surrounds the idea of running and finishing a marathon in midlife.

Patrick reflects on his recent experience of training for and completing the 2024 Dublin marathon.

Topics include:-

• Patrick’s one and only previous marathon experience at 18 (exactly 40 years ago)
• Why Dublin and why Marie Curie, his chosen charity;
• The unexpected mindset impact of donations;
• The simplicity of his training plan, including strength training, recovery and nutrition
• The mindset benefits of being an “older” runner
• The importance of supporting and encouraging each other to keep fit as we age…and celebrating the challenge you set for yourself no matter how big or small

Michelle and Patrick wish to thank everyone who supported Patrick whether verbally or via donations which totalled over £1,500 and, for those interested, Patrick’s time was 3 hours 44 mins, just 10 minutes longer than his marathon time when 18 years old...

If you have a challenge at the back of your mind we hope this chat will inspire you to take that small step towards achieving your goal, no matter how old you are.

Let’s talk on to walk on with Patrick and Michelle and see where it leads…
