Hello there and welcome to RunPod with me Jenny Faulkner.

Now, every week we discuss the feel good of running and perhaps today's guest might be feeling less feel good and maybe more feel sore.

She completed the London Marathon this week. She's still a bit achy. She is an athlete though,

not necessarily known for running. She's a four-time Olympian and is currently Olympic champion

along with her teammates for they picked up gold at the Winter Olympics in

Beijing in 2022. Not in running in curling. Please welcome to Runpawd the multi-talented

Eve Muirhead. Hello there. Hi. How are you? I'm very good. It is right, four-time

Olympian, isn't it? Yes, it is. Four-time Olympian, one-time marathoner.er yes and I think probably the way I'm feeling

right now only one-time marathon no I think I've said that I've done it eight times I've said

that eight times and I was meant to run it again so clearly it doesn't last very long that

feeling I bet you'll want to go back and beat your time. Well, do you know what? It's funny.

I was told before I started that you're always going to come away and be like,

I could have done that better. I reckon I could have done that better before. And because I was

struggling with a little bit of injury prior, I actually didn't run for 16 days before the marathon.

And yeah, of course you need to taper down, but maybe not for 16 days.

So now I'm even thinking I'm like, God, if I actually prepped properly and did all the kind

of right things leading into it and not just completely stop, then yeah, maybe I could do a little

bit better.

I don't know.

You see, that is a competitive spirit inside you.

You're like, hmm, I'll never want to do one again.
