In this episode we chat with Adele Roberts. Adele has faced huge challenges in recent years, battling bowel cancer and living with a stoma. But despite all this she managed to run a Guiness World Record at the 2023 London Marathon. We discuss what running means to Adele and how it has helped her through these difficult times as well as her new book “Personal Best”.
