I am sitting here absolutely soaking wet because I've just been caught out in the rain. And I think this is a perfect opportunity to talk about the sponsor of today's podcast, which is Wahoo with the Kicker Run treadmill. This is the treadmill we had in our London Marathon activation this year, where our very own Jess, as part of running 42 marathons this year, ran a marathon that exactly simulated the London Marathon course on the Wahoo Kick-It-Run in our space, cheered on by our lovely community of people. It was so much fun. We even did a little karaoke set for her as well, which I think she did quite literally want to run away from. But I think sometimes it's hard enough to get out and train, let alone if you've got things working against you, like where you live or the weather and so many different things. So there are loads of athletes that have been using the Wahoo Kicker Run in order to train for events like Leadville 100, Iron Man World Championships or even the Olympics. Yeah, Cole Hocker, world 1,500 metre Olympic champion trains on the Wahoo Kicker Run since 1500 meters is the best event in the world.

You need to get involved. If you would like to learn more about the Wahoo Kicker Run, then head to the link in the show notes. This episode is sponsored by ASICS. World Mental Health Day is in October and Asics are encouraging everyone to get out and move their bodies to move their minds. Yeah, we know firsthand the power that running can have on both our bodies and our minds.

I've actually witnessed firsthand how annoying you are to be around before you've got in some daily movement. I would love to dispute that, but it is so true. And Essex have made it their mission to support people to move for both their body and their mind. So what does your daily movement look like? Even as little as 15 minutes can have a huge impact. So take a desk break, maybe. I'd encourage you to do that, Sarah. Step outside and do something for you. And again, a huge thank you to ASEX for their support. This episode is sponsored by Cliff Bar. Andy, did you know that Cliff Bar was actually created in Gary's Mum's Kitchen in 1992? I love the idea of it being found in the kitchen. I didn't know that. I am familiar with Cliffbar though. I spent loads of time competing as a pro in the US where Cliff Bar are huge. You can buy them everywhere. And I would regularly grab them for before my training, sometimes during and then after as well. I love grabbing one before I get on a plane. I think so often we're talking about nutrition within racing or within running,

but actually it's so important as well to think about how are you fueling yourself outside of that? More important for me than for you, because I have to deal with you being hungry on a long flight. Yeah, I always need a snack in my bag. In terms of the ingredients, there's a balance of carbohydrate. It's an energy bar, but also protein and fibre, which is cool. Did you know it contains phosphorus? So this helps maintain metabolism and it supports your body's natural energy production. So if you want to check

out Cliff Bar, head to eU.cliffbar.com. That's C-L-I-F with 1F. And you can learn more about

their bars today. Also use code TRC to get a discount. Hello everybody. Good to have you on board. Today's episode is all about strength and conditioning,

which, as you might know, I'm quite passionate about. You hardly talk about it, actually. And me,

not so much. My kids take the Mickey out of me for never doing Arm Day. And that's just one

excuse. I'm not sure there's enough time to quite get through Andy's long list of excuses of why he doesn't go to the gym each week. No, I just don't want to embarrass everybody by lifting massive heavy weights. I've seen some gains recently on those guns. On these guns? Yeah. Well, no one else has ever described them as my guns. Gaines. I think the only gains that's going on around here is on the mixing desk.

Oh, wow.

Audio. Well, no one else has ever described them as my guns. I think the only gains that's going on around here is on the mixing desk. Oh wow.

A niche audio reference.

I like that.

Now, joking aside, it is probably one part of running that does tend to go by the wayside.

And today, by popular demand, we've got Anna Harding, running channel presenter, and probably something a lot of people don't know about Anna is that she's also qualified PT. Did you do you know that? Yeah, and she's currently training for Chicago Marathon, so perfect person to ask, how do you fit it all in? Oh, I used an acronym. What acronym? Personal trainer, sorry. So disappointed in yourself. Also, a massive thank you to Wahoo and their kicker run treadmill for sponsoring this episode.

Very excitingly, we're going to hear from two of their athletes, Hendrik and Esther Fyfer.

Hendrik fresh off the back of a really high position in the pro field at Berlin Marathon.

And also, he's running a race that I'm running late this year.

So we're going to find out

all about that.

Ooh, let's dive in.

Andy did that interview.
