Diet Starts Monday Podcast · Apr 23, 2026 · 37m

He races London Marathon in 3 days. This is the conversation before.

George Grassly isn't a professional athlete. He works a 9-5, trains 200km weeks around it, and in 3 days he lines up at the London Marathon chasing a sub 2:15.

In this episode we get into how we went from not taking running seriously at university to competing at sub-elite level, what is actually takes to run that volume alongside a full time job, and why he believes Sunday is the day he does it. This is a conversation about discipline, consistency and refusing to use normal life as an excuse.
