Local Runners Podcast

--- 🏃‍♂️ 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.
