In this episode we chat with Olympian Rose Harvey. Rose ran an outstanding PB of 2:23:21 at the 2023 Chicago Marathon – putting her fifth on the British all-time list – it meant the 31-year-old achieved the unfathomable and qualified to run the marathon for Team GB at her debut Olympic Games in Paris. 4 years prior to this Rose was a corporate lawyer, working late most nights and squeezing runs in when she could.
