Summary

An 18-week marathon training diary. New episodes released every Monday.

Olympic champion Sir Mo Farah and Body Coach Joe Wicks lend their advice, expertise and moral support to George Lamb as he trains for the 2018 Virgin Money London Marathon. This blood, sweat and tears journey follows George as he transforms from couch potato to long-distance athlete in just 17 short weeks. Packed with entertaining anecdotes and essential training tips, this series gives budding runners all the help they need when it comes to getting marathon fit.

As the reality of embarking on a marathon training schedule sets in we focus on the thing that's going to get George through to race day – motivation.

This episode looks at Mo's motivation. Obviously, he's made it to the very top – but does he find it hard to stay on track? George takes to the river with Olympic athlete and extreme racer James Cracknell to find out what got him through his marathon in just three hours, rowing the Atlantic and racing across the South Pole. Joe runs through a series of stretches to help get your blood flowing and make sure you're ready to run.

Mo-Joe episodes are free for Audible members, £2.99/episode for all other Audible customers.

Not sure I could train without it!

This is such a helpful training diary. It's given me loads of great tips on diet, running shoes and training sessions to do. I'm training to do the marathon and have really struggled with motivation to get up and do my long runs - this has really helped with that and hearing George going through the same thing makes me feel less alone! I listen to this whilst running to work which is a really good distraction, the only problem is I wish it came out more than once a week!

The celebrity guests are really high profile and hearing their marathon stories is really encouraging and a huge motivational factor.

I'd encourage anyone who is training to do a marathon to listen to this!
