Not Another Runner

Today’s Guest is Marcus Brown,

Marcus Brown is a Runner, Husband, Father of Two and works full time. He is an Abbot World Marathon Majors Six Star Finisher.

Marcus, the Host of A Runner’s Life Podcast, Co-founder of the Black Trail Runners, is a familiar voice to the this Podcast Already - you will have heard myself and Marcus chat during our Mash Up Episodes, where we co-host 'Not Another Runner's Life' on both this Podcast and on Marcus' Podcast.

Please note for reference this was recorded just three weeks after Marcus’ Sub 3 Marathon and was at the end of October.

Marcus is an extremely driven and dedicated individual, someone who I admire greatly for so many reasons including his dedication and tenacity in not only his running, but all that he does with his own Podcast and the invaluable episodes he shares with the listeners and running community and all the collaborative work he has done with the Black Trail Runners, something he speaks more of during his incredible interview on Mario Frailoli’s podcast: The Morning Shakeout.

The Black Trail Runners is a Uk-based community and campaigning group whose mission is to increase inclusion, representation and participation of Black People in trail running.

Today myself and Marcus talk about his journey from 4:55 to Sub 3 Marathon and the invaluable lessons he has learnt along the way. This chat was great, and I know you guys will enjoy this episode, please let myself and Marcus know that you’re tuning in… take a screen shot and share with us online.

We chat about:

• Marcus’ journey of Running 4:55 Marathon - 2:56
• Sub 3 Marathon Experience and the journey in getting there
• How Marcus felt after achieving the major goal
• Being mindful of others whilst we strive for our own goals
• What working towards a big goal can teach you
• How stopping and pausing is beneficial and not always unproductive
• How Running is a time to process thoughts
• The importance of offering Value, and giving back to others.
