Summary
The Running Channel Meets is where we talk to real runners with incredible stories. Each episode we speak with people who inspire us to run, and give our guests an opportunity to tell their stories, often for the first time.
In this episode we chat with Harry Judd. As a drummer in McFly Harry has toured the world and seen some incredible places but he now feels like he enjoys exploring different cities even more due to his love of running. We chat about why Harry loves running, what drew him to the sport and how getting a coach changed his whole perspective. Harry has run multiple marathons and is chasing faster times, and in this episode we delve into the good, and the bad of training for a marathon…
The Running Channel Meets was born from The Running Channel podcast. Hosted by Sarah Hartley (amateur runner) and Andy Baddeley (former pro runner) alongside Rick Kelsey (recovering runner), the TRC Podcast is friendly, jargon-free, and the perfect accompaniment to your runs.
