Our special guest this week is Lauren Reid, who broke the female parkrun world record last weekend in Sydney, Australia. She tells us how her preparations were far from ideal and how overwhelmed she was by all the support. Also, Claire Maxted tells us about writing her first book on trail running, Poland’s Country Manager Jakub Fedorowicz keeps us posted on how things are looking there and Cathy from the parkrun ops team makes her debut on the pod.
