今回は、バニッサのお気に入りの、いつも聴いているランニングポッドキャスター、ランニングチャンネルの上田れいさんがゲストです。レイさんのポッドキャストでは、毎週、ランニングに関するヒントやランニングの実体験について話してくれますので、とても参考になるポッドキャストです。
今週は、上田さんとバネッサのアテネマラソンについての対談です。上田さんの海外でのランニング体験についても語ってくれました。
バニッサがアテネを走った時の話題は、エピソードの14と15で英語でお届けしましたが、今回は日本語でお届けします。バニッサは、アウトランキャンサー・ポッドキャストのゲストで登場いただいたジュリア（第4話）、ダフネ（第8話）、コナー（第12話）と一緒に、11月にアテネでオリジナルマラソンを走りました。 まさにマラソンの原点であるこのマラソンを走ることは、多くのランナーの”Wish list”に入っています。さまざま国の人たちが参加していましたが、残念ながら今年は日本からの参加者は少なめでした。コースは、歴史に満ちていて、街に入った途端にそれを感じることができます。ランニングの歴史が長い日本のランナーのみなさんに是非、参加をおすすめします。
レイさんは、日本やアジアで開催されるお気に入りのマラソン大会についても教えてくれました。 海外で走ることや、参加するマラソン大会の選び方などについて、日本語で楽しくおしゃべりしています。

This is Part 2 - Welcome back to the “After” story of the Athens Marathon. 
Like anything, we go into a journey with some level of knowledge and expectation on what it will be like - Make sure you listen to Part 1 to hear some great pre race advice and expectations from our local expert (run Athens 7 times!!) Daphne before you listen to Part 2!
In this episode, the “runners” come together a couple of days after the marathon to reflect on the experience. If you are wanting to hear all about Athens Marathon, but also how it teaches some life lessons and cancer lessons then fire this one up.
All I can say is - Yes,  it was definitely the hardest marathon I have run for multiple reasons (my knee, the timing, the course) but it was also one of the most memorable. Put it on your “to do list”!
If you enjoyed this episode and it inspired you in some way, we’d love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway. Take a screenshot of yourself listening to the episode on your device, post it to your Instagram Stories, and tag me @voicesofcancer.

Have you ever thought of running the ORIGINAL MARATHON? I can honestly say I have been obsessed with this idea for a few years. And finally this month the "dream" turned into reality. When I completed the 6 major marathons, many asked me what would be next on the "Vanessa running bucket list". Without hesitation, I replied Athens Marathon. It is the course that started it all, from Marathon to Athens - the original - the authentic marathon. And it was on my “bucket list”.
Like many marathons, it has an amazing startline (Marathon where it all began) and an incredible finish line at the location of the first modern day Olympics - the only Olympic stadium made of marble. This marathon also has an amazing story and history. 
The bucket list of running Athens had always been there. In our episode 4 podcast, I mentioned to Julia that I was thinking of running Athens. Julia quickly jumped on board and said she would like to try to run a marathon. A plan was formed for us to run together in Athens. And from there Connor and Daphne joined in for an amazing gathering of #outruncancer podcast members who had only met virtually to come together in the real world. 
In this episode you’ll hear:
Introducing the OutrunCancer Team taking part in the Athens 2022 MarathonDaphne’s insider knowledge of the courseThe pre race jitters and fears each member hasWhy this Marathon means so much and should be on your bucket list
Stay tuned for Part 2 where we talk about “After”!

This episode brings two work-career connection friends together to talk about ”working through cancer”.  Laura and Vanessa have been friends for many years with their work and careers being similar and crossing paths from time to time.  Their work is very much something they are passionate about and they discuss how cancer changes how you need to work - a way that matches your needs. They discussed making those decisions, having to learn to think differently about work and what it means for family, finances and friends.  So the double meaning of “working through cancer” (work = job and working through = process of change)  is at the center of this episode. 
This episode was recorded in October which is breast cancer awareness month. Although cancer is an “every day” journey and is so much more than just one “pink ribbon month” or “Mo-vember”, these awareness months give us a chance to raise awareness and reflect, remember and get a little reset. Laura is still in the middle of her cancer journey with another round of chemo on the near horizon and so the conversation is very NOW and full of decisions and experiences that made Vanessa and Laura both reflect deeply on holistic wellness. 
If you are going through a challenge and are looking for some inspiration and stories on how to “work through it” then this might be for you. Also this episode provides some hints on how to get prepared for what might come if you or one of your family or friends is faced with a cancer diagnosis or another crisis that you need to work through. 
In this episode you’ll hear:
How Laura chose to let cancer teach her how not to be an island anymoreFinding your “sempai” and or a concierge to take some of the details off your plateFinding your  WOW (Way of work) and rhythms with treatment so you can keep working if you choose toFinancial wellbeing in times of crisis
About Laura 
Laura is based in New York and recently retired from a successful career in the consumer insights industry. Known for her expertise in media and its evolution - she is used to change and the need to pivot when outside forces impact you.  Laura also has a deep passion for unlocking potential in people, teams and industries - especially those in a state of change or transition. In 2020 she was faced with a cancer diagnosis and set about her own transition to a journey with cancer. She needed to fully apply her skills in assessing and unlocking potential to her new life - and as always the execution isn’t always as easy as the “powerpoint slide”.
