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 metres 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 Assex's everyday escape because this world mental health day, Assex is inviting the world to a well-being escape that everyone can reach in just 15 minutes. This is off the back of some research that Asks have done that shows that in 15 minutes you can reach a level of mindfulness, which actually myself included, I think a lot of us think that it has to be a really long time if you're going out and exercising or we have to hop on a plane and go to a retreat in order to feel better in ourselves. Yeah, and there's 15 minutes of movement. So getting away from your desk, getting out, whether that is for a run, going to the gym, whatever it might be, can massively change the way that you feel your happiness and your mood.

A huge thanks to ourastics for supporting this podcast and start thinking about what is your everyday escape.

Hello and welcome to the running channel podcast with me, Sarah Hartley.

Rick Kelsey is over to my left.

Andy Badley is over to my right.

And after Rick's tirade last week about a fellow parkrunner's heavy breathing and his more or less medical intervention, if you're to listen to Rick's claims,

we actually thought this week we

should talk about how breathing impacts you're running and what you can do about it.

Yeah, I actually tried to breathe through my nose running at the weekend. I'm just going

to tell you it was extremely hard. Yeah. Yeah. I've been hit with a cold so I only have

positive things to say. Yeah. We're also even try it with the cold. Yeah. Yeah.

We're also going to be checking in with Jess, who's been in South Africa, where it got a little bit windy. Yeah. Yes, it does. But in positive news, though, she has sent us a quiz, which I'm very excited about. Oh, yeah, I love a quiz. Yeah. usually for you two to be competitive, looking forward to a quiz, because we found out something

else about Sarah's competitive nature last week after recording the podcast.

So yeah, maybe we should get into it.

Let's do it.

Genuinely, you have no idea what you're on about.

What did we find out?

Well, you and I went head to head, didn't we?

Oh yes, we did. Worst day of my life. Well, not least because slightly disgustingly, you got

showered with my sweat at various points. Oh my God, yeah. Right. So let's set the scene.

Me, Mark and Jess were going head to head against Andy.

We were on side-by-side treadmills in a really, like, fancy running shop.
