About this listen

What does it take to keep chasing marathons at 69 years old?


In this episode of Eat Sleep Run Repeat, we sit down with masters runner Stuart Greaves — a former 2:22 marathoner who’s preparing to toe the start line once again nearly five decades after his peak.


Stuart opens up about:

•Running elite marathon times in his prime

•Stepping away from the sport — and what pulled him back

•Training for a marathon at 69 (what’s changed and what hasn’t)

•Mindset, consistency, injuries, and longevity

•Why he started his YouTube channel “Marathon 50 – The Long Return”

•What running still gives him all these years later


This is a powerful conversation about identity, ageing, discipline, and unfinished business — whether you’re a competitive runner, a weekend warrior, or someone wondering if it’s ever “too late” to return.


If you believe running is a lifelong pursuit, this episode will hit home.
