This week on the RMA Podcast we are excited to welcome back 36 year old Marathon Mum, Jessica Stenson! Since we had Jess on the podcast right back in Episode 11, she has continued to wow us with her marathon running achievements, and she has been busy! Jessica has recently run her 16th marathon in Degu, South Korea securing herself a PB and another Qualifying time towards selection for the Women's Marathon in Paris 2024 Olympics. Not only did she qualify in the qualifying window, she did so only 7 months after having her second child Ellie!

In this episode we discuss what the marathon means to Jess, and the lessons that she has learnt as a marathon runner since her debut marathon. We discuss the daily habits that she has formed in training and in mindset that have led to her success, and how we can use this approach in our own training.

We discuss the race day logistics she had to take when travelling and competing at a high level with a baby in tow, and how this actually made her feel calmer than ever before in a marathon event, and how this may have just led to her race day success!

We also discuss how Jess trained and cross trained during her pregnancies and how that differed from her first pregnancy to her most recent, and how she built up her training safely and successfully after the birth of Ellie to compete for Degu, including her positive approach to the outcome and the support that she had in her corner to believe that her dream was possible.

We also talk about the selection process for the Paris marathon and how Jess feels about being one of the six Aussie women to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympic Marathon in the qualifying window, and her approach to navigating the outcome of the selection no matter what it might be.

If you love marathon running, or dream of running a marathon one day, Jess is such a great role model to learn from. She is a humble, giving athlete of her time and energy, especially to our RMA Community, and you will just love this episode!
