E40: Helen Thorn - Comedian, Author and Back-to-Back Marathon Runner

All that running does for wellbeing is well-documented, but Helen Thorn's marathon journey is an uplifting reminder to us all.

In the wake of a divorce, it became a central tenet to her mental health - now it's central to her huge goal this year to run Boston and London back to back!

This week's Marathon Talk shines a light on the mental wellness that so many find in running, we celebrate Jasmin Paris' stellar Berkley Marathon performance, and Training Talk tackles the tailored tips to a flawless race in Boston.

In this episode of Marathon Talk:

  • 0:00 - We kick off with a poignant recording period for Deena in preparation for Mental Health Awareness Month, and Martin hails the UK's recent sunny spells

  • 6:40 - Rounding off recent stories, we praise Jasmin Paris' world-first performance in the infamous Barkley Marathon, cover the East African dominance at World Cross, and look ahead to Boston's promising race

  • 18:10 - Training Talk: Boston Edition! Deena shares her invaluable experience for those now entering their taper stage for the race on April 15th

  • 22:35 - Helen Thorn joins us in a heartfelt discussion on the power that running has for mental wellbeing, her journey from beginner to marathon finisher, and how she'll take on the huge feat of Boston and London back to back
