About this episode

Calum Goddard interviews George Rickwood, a notable figure in UK running, discussing his recent achievements and unique running challenges.

Joined this week by one of the greatest enigmas in the UK running space... Mr George Rickwood. Earlier this year he caught the internet's attention by running an extra kilometre every single day for 66 days (this resulted in back to back 400km weeks...) as part of Gymshark's 66 in 66. An achievement he followed up with a backyard ultra victory in Brighton & a 2:48 marathon time. Generational athlete and all round top bloke.
