Record numbers of you answered our call for entries to this year’s Big Marathon Challenge, making i t our most difficult year yet for choosing team members. After hours of reading and a few tears, we finally whittled i t down to our final four: Alice Doggre l l , Katie Hainbach, Leah McDaniel and Claire Price. Over the next few months they’ l l receive coaching from Richard Coates at Full Potential (fullpotential.co.uk) as well as k i t and support from our shoe and apparel partner ASICS; supplement partner Solgar; and nutrition partner HIGH5. In December, the team met up with each other and their coach for the f i r s t time and had a physio assessment from Michael Harrop at Pure Sports Medicine (puresportsmed.com). With their training plans ready, they’ re a l l set!
