Über diesen Titel

Running the London Marathon is a dream that many of us have but never actually achieve.


In a year of record entries, Virgin Radio UK’s Emma B has got herself a place in the 2026 event, and this series follows her journey to the start line - not as an elite athlete, but as a woman dealing with everything midlife throws at you! It’s a podcast about running, yes… but more than that, it’s about choosing to say yes to yourself.


Across the series, Emma is joined by inspiring guests from runners and coaches to experts and everyday stars, who share their wisdom about what it really takes to train for a marathon. Whether you’re training for your first one, getting back into running after time off, or you’re looking for an entertaining podcast, we’re here to help! This is not about winning races, it’s about proving something to yourself and saying “I CAN”.

  • The #1 Reason Couch to 5K Fails (And How To Fix It)

    The #1 Reason Couch to 5K Fails (And How To Fix It)
    Feb 19 2026

    In this episode of I Can Run A Marathon, Emma sits down with ultra-runner, UK Athletics approved running coach and author of ’Start Where You Are’, Sabrina Pace-Humphreys to talk about the one thing beginner runners have been missing (especially in midlife). Sabrina tells Emma about starting from scratch after severe postnatal depression, the “shuffle” run-walk method that helped her, and why so many people quit too early. They also chat about the pressure to “look like a runner”, training through periods, the menopause, and the myth that running ruins your knees.
