Summary

This week Jenni sits down with one of the most recognisable faces in the British running community, and someone whose life has changed entirely since she found running 10 years ago. Susie Chan is an absolute inspiration, she never planned to be a runner but since she started, she’s never looked back. Some are happy to run a marathon just once, she runs them regularly! How would you feel about a 12 hour treadmill challenge? Cause Susie broke the world record in 2016, running 68 miles in 12 hours without stopping once. She’s essentially a female (and far more glamorous) Forrest Gump! Together they discuss human endurance, racing in the world’s harshest landscapes and how her life has changed for the better. She also gives us as a peak into the one of most extreme races on the planet – and it’s one Susie has her heart set on. What is it? Listen in to find out.

0:00.0	Hello there, welcome to Run Pod. I'm Jenny Faulkner. And even though all these episodes are
0:08.8	about running, I still like to think of them as inspiring stories about people who have found
0:14.6	running and who on the whole, well, most people have changed in some way as a result.
0:20.1	Whether that's in terms of career, outlook,
0:22.7	physique, hobbies, social circles, I could go on for a while. I'm Jenny Faulkner. I have certainly
0:28.5	changed since I started running, as did my guest today. She's been running for, I can't believe
0:34.2	it's only around 10 years and she has just recently become the UK's Peloton instructor.
0:41.2	It is the incredible Susie Chan.
0:44.4	Hello.
0:45.0	Hello, Jenny.
0:45.9	How are you doing?
0:46.9	I'm very well.
0:47.7	I'm welcome back to Run Pod because you were on when it first started.
0:51.7	I was.
0:52.5	Yeah, it was a while ago.
0:53.4	I was trying to remember when it was.
0:54.4	And I still get messages, Jenny, from people who have just listened to that episode.
0:58.8	I know it's so funny, isn't it?
0:59.9	It's lovely, though, how people do go back and listen to the back catalogue.
1:03.4	So you could have some people outrunning, hello, if you're outrunning now, who are going
1:06.8	to do a double dose of Susie today. Oh, brilliant. Yes. Hello to everybody who is out running and good job. I'm going to say, good job to you all. Oh, excellent. I love that. Isn't it funny, though, when we say that how long is it now that you've been running? Do you know what? I was thinking about this the other day. Casting my mind back and it is, it feels like forever. I feel like I can't really remember too much
1:28.8	of life before as a runner, but it's about 11 years. 2010 was my first race, which is where it all
