Episode description

For 15 years, the most exercise Martina did was running for the train on her way to work.

In this episode with Joe Wicks, Martina unpacks her fitness journey: from starting running in her late-60s to completing six major marathons and striving for more.

Plus, Martina discusses how at 70 years old, she feels she’s finally found her passion, the impact of running on her and her child’s mental health, and how fitness can create a supportive community that has no age limit.
