About this episode

Olly and Faye discuss the emotional complexities of miscarriage and the journey of trying to conceive again while preparing for a local running event.

In episode fourteen of Marathons for Miracles , Olly is joined by his close friend Faye , who will be leading the Shropshire leg — a particularly special one as it takes place close to home in Shrewsbury . Faye shares her experience of miscarriage nearly a decade ago , a story she’s never spoken about publicly before, and reflects on the lasting emotional impact of loss — especially as she and her partner Freddie now navigate trying to conceive again . They discuss the complexities of revisiting grief years later, the mental load of a fertility journey, and how running — even without the usual headspace — can still offer moments of clarity and connection. The episode also looks ahead to the Shropshire route : starting in Bridgnorth , running across to Ironbridge , crossing the iconic bridge before joining sections of the Silkin Way , and looping back to finish on the bridge — with friends, family and a strong local support crew throughout. 👉 Follow the journey and support the cause at marathonsformiracles.com All episodes contain sensitive discussions around pregnancy loss and grief.
