London Marathon Ballot to London Marathon Start Line - Hub Member Story - Rob Rego
Imagine getting a place in the London Marathon ballot and then realising you actually have to run 26.2 miles? This was Rob! After always dreaming of getting into the London Marathon, when the ballot place landed in his inbox, it was everything that Rob needed to train for London. Starting out with ChatGPT and then stumbling upon our podcast. Rob realised that AI would only get him so far. He joined the Hub last summer and joined forces with James. He went from strength to strength and learnt a lot along the way before marathon training even properly started. Having to train around shift work too, James always made sure Rob was on track, holding him back when needed and also pushing at the right time. The team and partnership between them lead Rob to having a great marathon training block and awesome race, even in tough hot conditions. This is a wonderful story to share with you today on the podcast and we hope you enjoy the conversation.
