Chasing Dreams: Tamsin Burland Running Journey
Running wasn’t always a part of Tamsin Burland life. It began in her late 20s, spurred by witnessing the London Marathon, and evolved into an exploration of resilience, discipline, and the power of community. Our podcast guest today, Tamsin, walks us through her journey from a latecomer in the running world to a seasoned marathon runner, sharing the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
Marathon running is more than just physical endurance, it’s a mental game too. Tamsin takes us through the ins and outs of training for a marathon, her experiences running the Tokyo marathon and the importance of a knowledgeable coach guiding the way. As she reveled in the thrill of international races, she also learned the significance of discipline and taking time out when suffering from injuries. Above all, her running journey taught her the incomparable health benefits of running, both physical and mental, and the sense of camaraderie shared amongst runners.
But Tamsin’s journey doesn’t stop at marathons. She takes us on the trail of her ultra running journey under the guidance of Tom Bond Payne, who she met in Morocco. In the face of injuries and challenges, her determination never waned, even when her interest in running the Comrades Marathon in South Africa diminished. Through her recounting, we get a glimpse into the discipline required for training, the benefits of remote coaching, and an insider's take on the challenging float sessions. Get ready to lace up those running shoes and be inspired by Tamsin’s adventure-filled tale in the world of running.
