Cal, Sean, Dave and Katie talk to a Chorlton Runner and a Sale Harrier. Tom Charles has PB’s of 14:44 5k, 30:26 10k, 66:49 HM and 2:21:59 M, as well some big wins including Yorkshire Marathon 2021! Nick Barry has PB’s of 14:50 5k 30:13 10k 66:37 HM and 2:22:55 M. Tom talks about how much of a sweet tooth he has, and explains why he races so much, whether its Parkrun or a local race. Tom also talks about his training and how it works for him showing that something that might not look right for some people, can work for others. Nick (apart from complimenting Tom through gritted teeth) talks about how he started running and how close he was to giving up the sport. Nick also talks about how he stays injury free. Both Tom and Nick talk about Welsh Castles which Sean and Dave took part in last weekend. With a small change, we asked for Tom and Nick to ask each other three questions each.

The team talk about the last few weeks races, and about getting booked on Black Knight Charge (https://bookitzone.com/martin_mcgann_1/xyjFFX) and getting some new kit ordered. Check out the club shop (https://twistedrunning.co.uk/collections/local-runners-podcast).

Sean talks about how the Welsh Castles might have broken him, Dave tells us about the strange start to Stage 1 of the Welsh Castles, Katie talks about her England vest race at Manchester Half and how she has an injury that has made her take some time off and Cal (as well as struggling with names of runners again) talks about his pacing Manchester 10k and what the plan is for Podium.
