Episode description

Often times as much as we'd like to, "normal runners" just can't relate to the well-meaning advice given by professional and elite athletes. That's why this episode with Carla Molinaro is such a refreshing one.

Carla is a highly decorated professional runner, having placed 3rd in both TTOM and Comrades Marathon earlier this year, plus she's been selected to represent Great Britain in the upcoming 50km World Championships - but however decorated, Carla's approach to running is to keep things simple and not overlook the basic building blocks that allow us to improve as runners, irrespective of our goals.

In this conversation you'll hear words like; consistency, community and CAKE - yes, cake, Carla makes it very clear that she is motivated by confectionary.

She helps make sense of often overwhelming questions like:

  • "am I good enough to benefit from coaching?"
  • is Yoga and stretching beneficial?
  • what kind of strength training is actually worth making time for in a busy schedule and training plan.

and to make thing even simpler - she even started her own app which provides runners with a one-stop-shop for solutions to all of the above. Try it out with a 7 day free trial period. https://www.carlamolinaro.com/app

At the core of it, Carla is an all-round lekker human-being with a wicked sense of humour and some serious athletic talent.

This is an episode for every runner, enjoy!
