In Episode 150 of the Local Runners Podcast, we sit down with Becky Hansen from Altrincham AC. Becky has PBs of 5K 17:26, 10K 35:56, HM 79:32 with a marathon to come. Becky tells us of starting running at school and how competitive it was being a middle child between her very sporty brothers. She has ran London Marathon but not at the standard she is at now, but still a fantastic time. Becky was also a member of the lockdown runners where she found the love for the sport and saw progress in her times including her first sub 20 min 5k. She also was able to start in the Elite Field for Manchester 10k which was a "pinch me" moment for her. Becky has earned a England vest for Caernarfon Half Marathon in North Wales in September 2027.

--- 🏃‍♂️ EPISODE OVERVIEW ---
In Episode 149 of the Local Runners Podcast, we sit down and cover topics of the last few weeks. The team talk about Running Bloom's kit drop and the cap is a HUGE hit. Usual calls for Tameside 5k and getting LRP kit from Twisted Running. Lots of race reviews with National Road Relays, Manchester Half, MACCL Match 1, Chicago Marathon, Chester Marathon and Metric Marathon. Local runner Callum Rowlinson has put a shout out to quicker club runners, encouraging them to consider Manchester instead of London or a European marathon next year, with the aim of building a stronger field. Callum sent us a voice note to play to you all. Cal finally makes a decision about Seville Marathon, Katie is back racing but not as fast as she wanted, Dave is keeping his mileage high bringing him closer to racing, and Sean sends out surveys to ensure no one has a cold or flu with Yorkshire Marathon being THIS Sunday.
