#11 Stephen Scullion: Marathon Runner

In celebration of our new partnership with Stephen Scullion, we have him on the show this week. Stephen Scullion is a professional runner from Northern Ireland who is currently training for the Olympic Games marathon in Tokyo, boasting Personal Bests in the marathon of 2 hours 9 minutes and the half marathon of 61 minutes, both of which are Northern Irish records. He has a senior career spanning over 10 years with appearances at World and European championships on the road, on track and cross country. We are also delighted to announce that he has become HBHM’s first professional sponsored athlete, we love his dedicated work ethic and never give up attitude and how incredibly open and honest he is about his highs as well as the lows, really wearing his heart on his sleeve and we are proud to be partnering with him. Thanks to Scully for an incredibly open and honest discussion - we chat about how it feels to be representing his country at the Olympic Games; the troubles he has encountered throughout his career, those that he has overcome and still has to manage. We also discuss the huge highs he has had in his professional running. We chat about what his preparation, training and recovery looks like ahead of the Olympics, accountability, tips for runners, mental health and so much more...
