Off the success of our last two marathon training series', we wanted to go even bigger for 2024. Chasing Paris returns for a special UK based series hosted by Matt Seddon, and featuring two of the UK's biggest names - Phil Sesemann (2:08:49 in Valencia 2023) and Marc Scott (12:57 5000m runner). This special first-date episode introduces our host and athletes and gives an overview of what led up to their current marathon builds, with Phil and Marc coming to us live from Kenya. Phil is agonisingly close to the Olympic Standard, while Marc will be going through his first marathon build here on FTK. Strap in, sports fans - Matt, Phil, and Marc are going to be with us until late April. If you got any closer to the action you'd have their sweat on you.
