Emma Bord is a personal trainer of 18 years, author of Mum Power, and a Six Star Marathon finisher. She completed all six World Marathon Majors in a single year, and the hardest miles she has ever run began long before any start line.
In 2019, Emma's husband suffered a sudden seizure in the shower and was flown to hospital by air ambulance. She describes those hours in detail, how the experience still shapes her as a mum, how that traumatic experience drives her marathon running and why she now fundraises for the Essex & Herts Air Ambulance.
Emma and I also cover:
Why she wrote Mum Power, and the gap in postnatal fitness advice she saw in her clients
Swapping "bounce back" for "bounce forward"
Why pelvic floor and core health get so little attention in UK maternity care, and what needs to change
How a Tokyo Marathon low point taught her a technique for the hardest moments in a race
Why self self-care is not selfish, and how to build exercise into a life with no spare hours
If this episode helped you, share it with someone who needs the reminder that hard things make us stronger.
