After Faith Kipyegon's thrilling attempt to become the first woman in history to run a sub-4-minute mile, the team found themselves asking: just how hard is it to achieve such a feat? For Rick and Sarah, it feels nearly impossible. But for Andy, it’s a benchmark he achieved every year for ten years during his professional career. So, as always - the perfect balance of science and banter! AND... From the lightning-fast mile to an astonishing 495-mile backyard ultra, the team breaks down the latest world record, set by Australian endurance athlete Phil Gore. The Running Channel Podcast tackles one big topic each episode, amongst helpful tips and light-hearted chat on the latest news in the running world. 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.
