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.
