This episode is sponsored by Assex's everyday escape because this world mental health day,

ASEX 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 ASEX 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

Azics for supporting this podcast and start thinking about what is your

everyday escape? 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-A-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 1500 Miser Olympic champion trains on the Wahoo Kicker Run.

Since 1500 metres is the best event in the world, you need to get involved.

Hello, everyone. We've got a slightly different podcast for you this Saturday because we've teamed up with ASEX for a bonus three episode mini-series of the Running Channel podcast.

And today, because Andy and Sarah have already taken people on their dream escape when it comes to running, it's time for my going. Yeah. I mean, we knew this was going to be quite something. Yeah, Rick's everyday escape. Strap in. Because this is episode three of our three-part mini-series, and this is going out on a Saturday when we would normally have a full episode going out. So next week we'll be back to normal. What a way to finish. Should we get into it? Well, the good thing is you don't actually have to

strap in like I had to with your dog. Yeah. If you haven't seen it, listen to that. Then listen to

episode two for one of the funniest things I've ever experienced with the running channel.
