About this episode

The episode shares valuable lessons for runners and features an interview with Parkrun founder Paul Sinton-Hewitt.

In Episode 175, Andy, Rick and Sarah turn back the clock and share the things they wish they'd known when they first started running - the lessons that would have saved them time, money and sores (the chafing veterans among you will know exactly what we mean!). Whether you're just starting out or have been running for years, we're confident you'll either learn something new or relate to many of the stories, tips and experiences shared throughout this episode. And were lucky enough to speak with Parkrun founder Paul Sinton-Hewitt to celebrate a remarkable milestone: Parkrun's one millionth event, 22 years after it all began. The Running Channel Podcast tackles one big topic each episode, amongst helpful tips and light-hearted chat on the latest news in the running world. 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.
