Katie, Dave, Sean and Cal speak with a Chorlton Runner who has PBs of 17:04 for 5k, 35:48 for 10k, 82:51 for half marathon and 2:58:49 for the marathon. Katherine tells us about starting running when she was 8 or 9 and how free it was, then when her dad couldnt keep up it was time for her sister to join in. After a very long time away from clubs, she joined Chorlton Runners in 2022 and found the love for competing but it came at a price where Katherine explains about her anxiety before races. The team also give their views on this and hope some advice can help. With Katherine being a PT, she is able to help runners with S&C along with some coahcing plans where she is hoping to become a certified running coach.

With race reviews from Sale Sizzler Race 2, Royton Trail, Altrincham Beer Mile and Wilmslow 10k, there was lots to shout about. Along with some big news of Tameside 5k coming back in September...

The team talk about their training updates with Dave getting some good fitness back hoping to be in the road relay team, Sean and Katie give big changes to their training with some outside help (although Katie has been naughty on week 1 via the influence of the beer mile), and Cal is hoping to get a good time at Sale Sizzler.
