In this episode, we sit down with Ellis Cross to unpack his transition into the marathon and what it really takes to compete over 26.2 miles.
Ellis reflects on his marathon debut, the challenges he faced, and why he describes the marathon as βits own beast.β We explore the mental side of endurance sport, including how he builds resilience and deals with pressure in training and racing.
We also dive into his role as lead coach within the HOKA PB Protocol, where he works with athletes to optimise performance. Ellis shares insights into coaching philosophy, training structure, and how everyday runners can apply elite principles.
