"Everyone's so different... For me, itās just getting B+ training in and hopefully getting A+ results because I'm not burning out. I can be consistent and get brilliant training blocks in throughout the year without burnout or anything. And I think that's got me to this point. It's nothing crazy, it's nothing fancy, it's just simplicity. You think in your head for the longest time that you need to be doing āthis, this, and thisā. And actually, it's just taking a step back like, and enjoying running for what it isā¦ Take away the goals, take away the times. Just enjoy running for the simplicity of it and the results will hopefully show.ā
Calli Thackery just ran the second-fastest marathon by a British woman in her marathon debut at the McKirdy Micro Marathon in New York. She crossed the finish line in 2 hours, 22 min and 11 seconds. Only Paula Radcliffe is ahead of her on the all-time list. Sheās also now No. 3 on the all-time European list behind Radcliffe and Sifan Hassan.
With this performance, Calli puts herself in a strong position as a contender for British Athleticsā Olympic marathon selection but there are still about eight months to go until things are set in stone.Ā
This has been a breakout fall for her since she won The Big Half in London in September and then took seventh at the World Road Running Championships in Latvia earlier this month.Ā
In this episode, youāll hear why she decided to bet on herself by pursuing professional running after working a full-time job, why working with her coach and fiancĆ© Nick Hauger has worked so well and her hopes for the Olympic year ahead. Sheāll also share some stories about growing up in a running family since her father Carl was a professional runner for Nike and Team GB and medaled at the 1993 World Half Marathon Championships.Ā
