Listen Later

Sean, Cal, Katie & Dave speak with the founders of Manchester 24 Hours Run against Homlessness and runners of Manchester Road Runners. Molly has PBs of 20:03 for 5k, 42:08 for 10k, 93:57 for the half, and 3:28:12 for the marathon. Thomas has PBs of 17:23 for 5k, 35:43 for 10k, 82:26 for the half and 2:55:54 for the marathon.

They both talk about Run Wild MCR, Manchester Road Runners, Parkruns, Commonwealth Games and Paris Olympics and how involved they are. As well as being involved in Ancoats Run Club, and Matchroom boxing. They have both met some incredible athletes and famous people from Eddie Hearn to Sifan Hassan and the Hardest Geezer. Thomas talks about how he has a vision for Manchester Road Ruunners and how it can be sustainable without him. He tells us how they started Manchester 24 Hour Run Against Homelessness and how they want to branch out as much as possible to raise even more money. Molly tells us about her organisation of the Emma Horrell Canal 10k and how it was to have the Peel Parkrun record even if it was for just one week. Molly tells us about her Marathon experiences and how she feels she might not do another one (but we know that she will). Both ran the Paris Marathon at the Olympics which was the first ever mass participation marathon held at an Olympic games.


The team only updated a week ago, but we had Katie back to tell us all about the Berlin Marathon and how hot it was. Strongest marathon yet from Katie. Cal gives an update on Manchester half prep, Sean is back to running nearly 2 hours and Dave has a big smile on his face with XC starting this weekend, but he wont be at Woodbank park...
