LONDON MARATHON SPECIAL: Training & nutrition

Welcome to episode two of The Race is On, our special series to celebrate the BHF being the TCS London Marathon 2022 Charity Partner. Hosted by Aimee Fuller, two-time Olympian, author and broadcaster, this series will feature interviews with a whole host of guests who are key to the success of this partnership. In this episode, Aimee chats to two of our Team BHF Support Squad, Professor Greg Whyte OBE and the BHF’s very own dietician, Tracy Parker. Greg brings his wealth of experience and knowledge to share valuable training advice for all runners, including stories from his time training athletes and celebrities. Plus Tracy talks salt, carbohydrates and sports drinks and why celebrating marathon success with a pizza is absolutely allowed!

The British Heart Foundation is proud to be the official charity for the 2022 TCS London Marathon. We're raising money to fund one of the most promising fields of research today, regenerative medicine. Researchers like Professor Sanjay Sinha and his team are creating a ground-breaking heart healing patch that could repair damaged heart muscle and transform the lives of those affected by heart failure, restoring hearts to their former glory, and helping to save lives of millions globally.

If you would like to donate to Sanjay's research and help get the healing heart patch over the line, then please, please visit bhf.org.uk/heartpatch

And if you've got any questions or concerns about your heart or circulatory health and want to talk with a cardiac nurse on the BHF’s Heart Helpline, go to our website at bhf.org.uk/hearthelpline and you'll find all the contact options there.
