Candice Brathwaite: Activating 'Miss Trunchbull' Mode to Get Runs Done is a Form of Self Love
This is our final episode in a very special series - powered by Nike - where we’re exploring all the many wonderful things that running can do for you, via chats with inspiring women. Today’s seriously energising guest - bestselling author, content creator and erstwhile marathon runner Candice Brathwaite - recently picked up running again, albeit shorter distances on her home treadmill. She runs to access what she calls 'tension'. By that she means a type of controllable struggle that encourages personal growth in all areas of life, which - in her words - she just can't get from any other form of fitness. Candice also discusses learnings from writing her latest book, YA fiction debut, Cuts Both Ways and why, when it comes to helping her daughter and stepdaughter enjoy a healthy relationship with fitness, she's leading by example - rather than telling them what to do. Oh, and if you're looking for the pep talk you need to stop standing in your own way and actually action those healthy habits, Candice shares *exactly* what she tells herself to get the thing done.
Candice is joined in the coaching clinic by Nike Run Coach and youth mentor Dora Atim (who we met in episode four) to get advice on how she can reach her number one running goal right now: to run a 5k in 25 minutes.

Andrea McLean: I'm Finally Approaching my Goals like a Marathon, not a Sprint
Hi there! This season, powered by Nike, we're homing in on all things running. You can expect powerful stories from extraordinary women, guaranteed to spark your motivation this back-to-school season. In today's episode, Roisín is joined by broadcaster-turned-start up founder Andrea McLean, whose newfound approach to navigating her life and goals offers a timely tribute to the 26.21 mile course that 40,000 people in London made their way around last weekend.
Following breakdown and burnout in 2019, the former daytime TV star and mum-of-two left a decades-long career to retrain as a coach and create her own mindset community and app,This Girl is On Fire. Here, Andrea reflects on the brutal lessons that reaching rock bottom taught her, plus how, at 53, she's finding rebuilding her much-loved running routine trickier than ever. She also shares dispatches from the frontline of running a business with her fitness-mad husband, and the reason she's trying to un-invite her ego from her treadmill sessions.
For this week's coaching clinic, Andrea speaks with Lloyd Kempson - Nike Run Coach and UK Athletics endurance specialist - to discover the training and mindset tools that could help her find her stride with running again.

Dora Atim: Why I Founded a Trail Run Collective Exclusively for Black Women
Hello! This season, powered by Nike, we're homing in on all things running. You can expect powerful stories from extraordinary women - guaranteed to spark your motivation this back-to-school season - plus plenty of expert tips and tactics.
In today's episode Roisín is joined by Nike Run Coach Dora Atim. As a teen, battling body dysmorphia, Dora never would have imagined that running would prove the conduit for finding self-acceptance and self-love. And yet, a decade later, she’s so passionate about the benefits of putting one foot in front of the other that - from run coaching to youth mentoring - much of her career is built around passing those benefits on.
Here she shares insights from that evolution, alongside the painful moment in summer 2020 that made her realise that - for many Black women and non-binary people to enjoy the nourishing power of rural areas - a community needed to be created. And how, with her trail running collective Ultra Black Running, she’s carved out a space for joy to thrive.
In today's Coaching Clinic, Dora offers up answers to your personal running dilemmas.
