In this inspiring episode of The Runna Podcast, Coach Anya sits down with 2:17 marathoner and content creator Hugo Fry - serious about speed, but not about himself.  From lockdown 5Ks to becoming one of the UK’s fastest sub-elite marathoners, Hugo reveals his training secrets around sleep, fuelling, and the ‘delusional self-confidence’ that keeps him pushing forward. Plus, hear how he broke Guinness World Records dressed as Super Mario and Santa!  A self-confessed running addict, Hugo credits his rapid rise to one thing: he genuinely loves the process. Now building towards Boston and chasing 2:15, Hugo explains why balance isn’t constant - sometimes you have to go all in.  But long-term improvement isn’t built on intensity alone - it’s built on consistency, commitment, and protecting the joy that keeps you coming back. Highlights include:  🏁 From 2:52 to 2:17 - the unglamorous progression 🧠 Marathon Mindset: balancing ambition and avoiding burnout 😴 The extra 1%s: sleep, mouth tape and cross-training If you’re serious about improving, but don’t want running to become your entire identity, this episode will shift how you think about performance.  🎧 Follow along for new episodes every Friday with Olympians, World Record Holders, and inspiring voices form the running community.  🎁 Try Runna FREE for 2 weeks with code PODCAST26: https://web.runna.com/redeem?code=PODCAST26 And if you’re just getting started, our New to Running and Return to Running plans are totally free 💛 📺 Watch the full episode → youtube.com/@therunnapodcast Hosted on Acast.
