In this weeks episode we're joined by Naomi Avery, where she shares her success story from the past year. Unfortunately at the beginning of summer last year, Naomi experienced a very tough setback when she damaged some ligaments in her ankle. We then took things back to basics to rebuild and less than a year later she is a completely different runner and athlete. She shares her journey, the sacrifices, tough decisions and successes to get to where she is now. With a 1:35 half marathon PB, 20:35 for 5km and now working towards her first 70.3 event in October.

We're very sorry but the audio quality in this gets interference from other signals, but hope this doesn't take away from what a brilliant episode this is.

As the end of Spring Marathon season is looming, it's now time to start thinking about summer training. Now is the perfect time to transition into the shorter distances including 5km and 10km.

With busy summers it can be easier to fit in this style of training and also lends well before heading into an Autumn block before a half or full marathon. Coaches of The Running Hub Katie and James, share their top tips on how to improve your 5km or parkrun and how you can shave seconds off your current PB.

Today we're joined by Charlotte Ellis, former paratriathle Aiming for Paralympic Qualification at adidas Manchester Marathon.

Charlotte is a visually impaired athlete who has been competing at elite international level for many years, having first started her running journey as a student at the University of York.

She has previously been crowned world champion at the World Paratriathlon Championships in two consecutive years, as well as topping the podium at the European Paratriathlon Championships for three consecutive years.

Since retiring from paratriathlon in 2013, Charlotte has switched focus to long-distance running and previously took part in the event in 2018. She has described her 2018 race as a 'breakthrough moment' in her career and maintains that the event is still her 'favourite marathon' to date.

We're very excited to be sharing Charlotte's story with you and hope you can cheer her on at Manchester Marathon on Sunday 16th April.
