Welcome to the Yes She Can podcast, hosted by Megan @soulfullyginger. Megan is an ultrarunner based in Dublin, who started this podcast with the aim to discuss relatable topics all within the realm of running, endurance and fitness. Megan is studying a Masters in Sport Psychology, and some episodes will act as an outlet for what she's learning at the time.
Over the next few weeks most of us will be well into spring marathon training. Something that I'll always shout about is the mental load of marathon training and the importance of managing this before the mental fatigue leads to burnout. Enjoy this ep and let me know your thoughts. I've had some feedback on audio quality and it being too low so let me know!! Happy running. Megan x

#14 Solo Episode Answering Your Running Q's
WOOHOOO it's good to be back doing my favourite thing - podcasting!!! I got myself a new mic so double celebrations!! This is a quick solo episode answering your questions from the box I put on my story last week. I discuss preparing for long runs, balancing training and life, excuses vs pain, the impacts of stress on running, returning to running after injury, and more. I could answer 10000 questions on running so there will be more where this came from.
Key message: running is here to complement our lives. Take a deep breath and remember that you're doing your best.

#3 Marina McCully on Mental Health at University
‘We all feel a bit out of our depth at times, but we don’t always say it’
We want to help our friends, but we don’t know how. We want to help ourselves, but we don’t know when. Reaching out for support with our mental health is tricky, but it doesn’t have to be. ‘Being thrown in at the deep end’ is the best way I can describe the transition from school to University. Loneliness, lack of self-esteem and a general feeling of ‘lost’ are often how students can find themselves feeling.
AWARE NI are a charity working tirelessly to bridge the gap between suffering in silence and receiving mental health support. Marina and I have a very raw conversation about how, and when, to seek help, knowing the warning signs and the help AWARE offer 24/7 365. You are not alone, and you don’t have to be.
