12 Months to Marathon
Hi, I'm John Hill. I host 12 Months to Marathon—the running podcast for people over 35 with marathon dreams. Whether you are looking for a personal best or want to run a marathon, my story and regular tips should help you get there.
I didn't run my first marathon until I was 36. I ran my first sub-3 marathon at the age of 45. If I can do it, so can you!

12 Months to Marathon - Episode 81 - Steve Till, Author of The Run of Life: How any runner can reach their mountain top
What does it mean to be a runner for life?
In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Steve Till, a man who’s not only completed over 100 marathons and 500+ parkruns, but also represented Great Britain in both 100km and 24-hour ultra races. Steve is a student of the sport, an embodiment of endurance, and the author of The Run of Life – a book that threads together running, philosophy, and personal growth.
We talk about:
🏃♂️ His running origins watching Dave Bedford on a black-and-white TV
🎯 Why long-term goals matter more than short-term perfection
🧠 The danger of overthinking running
💪 Staying active through cancer treatment
📚 Why he wrote his book – and what he hopes runners take from it
Whether you’re training for your first marathon, coming back from injury, or wondering how to make running part of a lifelong practice – this is a conversation that reminds you why you started, and why you’re not done yet.
Tune in and be inspired by someone who’s walked (and run) the talk.
