0:00.0	Welcome to the Running Explain podcast. I'm Elizabeth, a marathoner, running coach, and answer seeker.
0:06.9	When I became a new runner at the age of 29, I had so many questions, but it felt like I was on my own to figure all of the answers.
0:15.2	So now I'm here to answer all your running questions to help make you a better, smarter, faster runner. There's no question
0:22.9	too simple and no topic too complex. So let's get started. My guest this week is Marcus Brown.
0:29.8	Marcus is a man of many talents. He is a United Kingdom athletics running coach. He is a World
0:35.9	Marathon Major's six-star finisher, means he's run all six of the
0:40.3	World Marathon majors. He's gone from a 455 marathon to recently achieving a sub-three-hour
0:46.8	marathon as a big goal. And he's also the host of a Runner's Life podcast where he aims to talk
0:52.8	to runners of all backgrounds and abilities to find the commonalities between us all. Yes, elite runners, they are just like us
0:58.5	in many ways. One of the interesting things about this conversation why I want to talk to Marcus
1:02.9	specifically is because of his relationship with the goal that he recently achieved, which was to run a
1:09.2	sub three marathon. And this conversation about
1:13.0	goals and goal setting is not the like, how do you set and achieve your goals? It's kind of a
1:17.8	discourse on what goals are, what goals even mean to us. What do you do if you achieve all your goals?
1:27.2	Like what next? And that post-race, post-PR
1:31.3	blues that a lot of us experience after a large event, a big, a big climactic finish. And then,
1:38.6	and then what? And then nothing. So this conversation I think you'll hopefully really enjoy.
1:43.8	It's a bit more, like I said,
1:45.4	on that discussion, philosophical side. There is some coaching stuff that we talk about. We both
1:50.9	talk about our personal experience and how our relationship with goals has changed over the years
1:56.0	during our running careers. So I really enjoyed this conversation and I hope you do too.
2:03.0	Marcus, welcome to the show. I'm excited to have you here. Hi, Elizabeth. Same here. I'm excited
