The Hardest Miles: Rose Harvey on Injury and Starting Again
In this short conversation recorded at the new Puma store in Oxford Street, I sit down with Rose Harvey to talk honestly about returning from injury.
We cover the mental challenges of being sidelined, rebuilding confidence, trusting the process when fitness feels far away, and how to approach the early stages of getting back into training without rushing or forcing it.
A grounded, relatable listen for any runner navigating injury, setbacks, or the long road back to enjoying the sport again.

More Than a Finish Line: Lessons from Building a Race in Just 3 Months
Today’s episode is a short, personal debrief on one of the most meaningful projects I’ve ever been part of launching a race from scratch in under three months.
It’s been over a month since race day, and I needed some time to fully process the experience before sharing it with you. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really took — the energy, the trust, the people to make it happen.
Here’s what you’ll hear:
Why this race mattered and what we set out to build
Race day highlights: 400+ signups, incredible finish times, and unforgettable energy
The volunteers, pacers, and partners who brought the event to life
Honest reflections on the emotional and logistical challenges
What’s next — and why you won’t want to miss the next race on October 19
This race wasn’t just about crossing a finish line. It was proof of what we can build when we show up and go all in.
