Hi there, welcome to Run Pod, where every week I'm joined by someone who shares our passion for all

things running, fun runners, park runners, marathon runners, round the block plodders, guests cover all bases.

And my guest today is someone, well, I've been desperate to get on Run Pod for a while.

I'm pretty sure she was born with trainers on.

She's run since she was young.

She's represented Great Britain at the Olympics twice.

3,000 metres and 5,000 meters are her distances and she's blooming speedy at running them.

So excited to be joined on Run Pod today by Aylish McColgan. Hi.

Hi, Jenny. Thanks for having me. Look, thank you for coming and agreeing to come on Run Pod because

I just want to let everyone know that you are the busiest woman in the world. You're never really

in the same place for very long. Where are you now?

We're actually currently in Fontremont-Ré, France. So yeah, it's been a little bit hectic the last couple of weeks. But I suppose just, yeah, with everyone's life in COVID

right now, plans are just irrelevant, unfortunately. Yeah. I know. I mean, I know it's been a busy month. Tell me what you've been up to.

I suppose it's just been a bit of a strange year. I think the original schedule that we had has just

completely disappeared and all the races that I was really aiming for this year have all been

cancelled. So it's been, of course, a little bit frustrating, but there's obviously such a safety and health

of everyone as Parliament right now.

But thankfully, there has been a few track races that have opened up.

It just so happens that the distance is far shorter than the ones I'd been preparing for, unfortunately.

So I've just sort of thrown myself in at the deep side and just taking the opportunities as

they've come along, which means that, yeah, it's been a little bit of on the bounce racing

from country to country and just taking the opportunities that have arisen. So,, we just came from, I had a race in Marseille last Thursday, straight to Poland
