the best way to do that is through the club.

You'll also get access to our community app, which is basically a space for runners who love talking about running, but don't love what social media has become. It's a genuinely supportive, no noise place to ask questions and connect with other runners. If that sounds like your kind of thing, head to club.the running channel.com and use code POD for 20% off. We're going on tour and I'm so excited about this. It's a deliberate pun because this episode is sponsored by On. So we're going on tour with On, for the On Squad race. So we're going all over the world, starting with South America. Buenos Aires. I cannot wait.

The On Squad Race has already started, and we are going to five different locations to take part in this sick event.

Yeah, we're going to be finding out all about the local running culture in three different continents, which is pretty cool for us.

And racing up and down in a spiral car park, which I feel like is going to be a test in itself. Yeah, four by four relay, two men, two women on each teams. We're going to be captaining various teams when we take on these challenges around the world. And On is on a mission to ignite the human spirit through movement, which is what we're going to be doing by travelling all over the world and meeting all these amazing runners. And if you want to find out more about On Squad Race, then head to the link in the show notes.

This is the Running Channel podcast with me, Rick Kelsey.

It's Mark Dredgey's with us today.

Did you two know that five of the ten fastest ever men's marathon times were set in April this year?

That is genuinely mind-blowing. And then Tigsda-Sephyr sent a women's set a women's only marathon world record alongside Keely Hodgkinson breaking a longstanding indoor women's 800

meter record a record that actually was set the day she was born i think oh yeah it was yeah yeah and

did you see rachel entrickin won koko dona 250 a 253 mile race she won it outright and a 45 minute

course record all right so outright she beat the men right right? Yeah. Yeah. Everybody. She beat everyone.

So essentially, there's all these records being beaten in such a short period of time.

We thought there's got to be something that everyday runners can learn from these people who are literally

changing the face of the record book.

So that is what today's show is about.

Let's get into it.
