it's a runner's world

I met Martin Yelling at the VLM Expo in April, and what a great guy he was!


Martin is a well known speaker, writer, runner and coach, and married to Olympic marathon runner Liz Yelling.  Martin is also the founder and co-presenter of Marathon Talk, the UK's number 1 ranked running podcast.

He and I did a live Q&A at the Lucozade stand at the Expo back in April, two days before the Big M, and I was nervous as hell!  I was quizzed about my fitness journey and shared a few things I'd learned while training for a marathon - it was great fun, apart from me having a Bridget Jones-esque moment with the microphone! Ha ha!

And now it's my turn to quiz him!  Martin has kindly agreed to be the next guest on the Skinny Latte Strikes Back podcast.  I'll be dragging his most inspirational and motivational tips out of him (!) and also get him to answer any reader/follower/liker questions about running, or anything fitness related you might like to ask him. Leave your questions here in a comment, on the SLSB Facebook page or via Twitter by Thursday night!!  Don't be shy :)

Find out more about Martin and his work here.

Hope you've all had great starts to the week - more soon! xx

  1. Ooh, could you ask him if he has any running tips for people who have a tendency to get knee problems?

  2. Awesome!!! Phil, can you please ask Martin:

    Do you have any tips about ways to maintain/recharge your motivation levels AFTER reaching a big goal. It took me three weeks to start running after the half marathon, I think because I was a little scared (I knew what a half felt like!!!!)... and maybe basking in my glory too long!!!!

  3. Wow how exciting! I listen to the marathon talk podcast every week and I love it- and the audiofuel podcasts they do too. I second the question about keeping motivated after a big race. I would also like to know how he gets motivated to go out running in the winter evenings- it is really dark in the mornings and I don't feel safe as the streets are quiet, plus I cannot run at lunch and sometimes it is hard to be motivated when I get back from work.
