--- 🏃‍♂️ EPISODE OVERVIEW ---

In Episode 142 of the Local Runners Podcast, we sit down with George Lewis. With PBs of 19min for 5k, Half 1:23, marathon 3:04, George has really taken to running. He did a marathon in 2012 at Manchester in the worst conditions known to man, but he tells us how he got back into running after that. George is known for his comedy videos on Instagram and Tiktok, making some great observations. Since getting the running bug he has made some brilliant videos, one being about Parkrun. George talks about his training for London marathon and how he just threw himself fully into the training. With James Moles in the interview too, James was able to share some insights into his training and how the athlete / coach dynamic works. George loves a gadget or two, from his mass of running shoes, compression boots and his new Garmin upgrade from an Apple Watch.

--- 🏃‍♂️ EPISODE OVERVIEW ---

In Episode 140 of the Local Runners Podcast, we sit down with Louisa Whittingham who has PBs of 5k - 17:16, 10k - 35:29, half - 79:33, marathon - 2:46:54. Being in a family of runners, the competitive nature is definitely there. Getting kudos from Grandad, beating dad to be the fastest Whittingham, she has excelled in running over the years. Running in the US being at University helped the PBs come down, even doing a 10k on the track! Working in the US and being fatigued, there was more to it where she found she was Gluten intolerant. Louisa came home from the US and started to hit the bigger distances with half marathons and marathons where she began to realise that the longer distances suited her more.

--- 🏃‍♂️ EPISODE OVERVIEW ---

In Episode 136 of the Local Runners Podcast, we sit down with Oriel Hardman and talk about how she got into running. From beating the boys in PE, to being on a start line on the worlds stage at a young age. Oriel tells us about how she handled the pressure of being so good as a junior, and how she would change it if she could go back. She also talks about RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport) and how she didn't know about what it was or how to spot the signs. Oriel is now running for Salford Harriers and trains with some of the younger athletes. She tells us how much she has learned from them and how it takes her back. Oriel is a big advocate for how good the relationship in the Salford's Women's Team is and how they help each other. She is a big "nerd" when it comes to numbers in training too, but she doesn't do social media... will she get pressured into it by her Salford team mates?
