The Mastermind Behind Running World Records | Chris Taylor

The Running Channel Meets is where we talk to real runners with incredible stories. Each episode we speak with people who inspire us to run, and give our guests an opportunity to tell their stories, often for the first time. In this episode we chat with Taylor, the mastermind behind several remarkable World Records, including Spencer Matthews' record for the most marathon distances completed on sand in a single month, Josh Patterson's epic journey of running a marathon in every UK city back-to-back for 76 days, and Imo Boddy’s achievement as the fastest woman to climb and run between the UK's three peaks. Taylor uncovers what it takes to meticulously plan and organise some of the most challenging and ambitious World Record running attempts while standing by the side of the runners, without seeking recognition or glory. The Running Channel Meets was born from The Running Channel podcast. Hosted by Sarah Hartley (amateur runner) and Andy Baddeley (former pro runner) alongside Rick Kelsey (recovering runner), the TRC Podcast is friendly, jargon-free, and the perfect accompaniment to your runs.
