40: Jessica Stenson – New Australian marathon record holder!

Newly crowned Australian marathon record holder Jess Stenson joins Elise to unpack her stunning 2:21:24 run for fifth place in Valencia. Jess takes us through her lead-up and race week in Spain, the mental tools she relied on out on the course, and all the feels from that iconic blue-carpet finish. It’s also a story about self-belief – and the people who helped her find it, including husband Dylan and coach Adam Didyk.

Jessica Stenson has represented Australia in the marathon at three Olympic Games and is a multiple Commonwealth Games medallist, including gold in Birmingham in 2022. She’s mum to Billy and Ellie, a qualified physiotherapist, and a keynote speaker.
