January 05, 2021 Why 2021 will be the year of the runner
Welcome to the first RW podcast of 2021! Happy New Year and all that jazz.

December 15, 2020 What is the gait cycle?
Ben talks to master trainer and knowledge sponge, Gareth Cole, who has been a coach for more than 30 years and is more recently the co-founder of Coach London to discuss the benchmark of all movement, the gait cycle. It's something referenced a lot in running, but what is it? Gareth breaks down why and how it's used for assessing runners and how it can help you become a better runner. And no, it's not about finding out what shoes to buy.

There is also some #RUNSOME news in the form of running mayors. For more info on that then listen to the #RUNSOME podcast and then visit runsome.org

December 08, 2020 We speak to Ally Beaven, author of 'Broken'.
The FKT (Fastest Known Time) has been the pursuit of a special kind within running. Heralded routes or rounds have been attempted by many, but only a few can say they did it fastest. Ally Beaven's new book, Broken, is all about the rise of the FKT and how this bizarre year with no racing has meant more runners have been chasing down FKTs.
You can buy Ally's book direct from Vertebrate Publishing here

November 24, 2020 Sophie Raworth: running during the lockdown
This week we speak with BBC newsreader and journalist Sophie Raworth. Unless you’ve taken the unusual stance of not tuning in to the news in 2020 (in which case, you’re in for a bit of a shock), you’ll be very familiar with Raworth. What you may not know is that the face of BBC news is also a passionate and impressive runner. And this year, as she has navigated the personal and professional stresses of the pandemic, she says running has been her saviour. Ahead of her cover feature in the next issue of Runner's World, she joins us on the podcast to talk lockdown, London and why running is her release valve...

November 17, 2020 Michael Crawley: How to Train Like an Ethiopian Distance Runner
Ethiopian men hold six of the top fastest marathon times ever. The female 5,000m and 10,000m records are also held by natives of the East African nation. In Ethiopia, running is not a pastime but a central pillar of life – but what can we learn from the way they train? Michael Crawley, a 2:20 marathon runner and assistant professor in social anthropology at Durham University, spent 15 months in Ethiopia training alongside some of the country’s best runners and distilled his findings into the excellent Out of Thin Air: Running Wisdom and Magic From Above the Clouds in Ethiopia.
