S2E18. "Go out and dance" Becky Briggs, marathon record holder

I'm so honoured to have Becky Briggs - an elite runner, record holder and all-round ray of sunshine - on the podcast.

Reflecting on her relationship with running, how it's shifted over time and how she came to represent Britain and win(!!) the Manchester Marathon by such a young age, Becky offers some beautiful perspectives on using running as a means to reconnect with yourself and with nature, as well as her experience recovering from injury.

I hope you all enjoy this episode, I'd love to hear from you below!

Love always,

Cass xx
