Episode 193: Is Running a Marathon Actually an Achievement Anymore?
With marathon participation on the rise and more runners taking on ultra-marathon distances, backyard ultras and multi-day events, we ask the question - has the marathon distance become normalised? Andy, Rick and Sarah dive into a hot topic currently sparking debate in the running world and share their thoughts.
The team also discuss Producer Owen’s challenge to run from North to South Wales in memory of his dad, Andy and Sarah finally crack a riddle, and the team answer a great listener question.

Hosted by Sarah Hartley (amateur runner) and Andy Baddeley (former pro runner) alongside Rick Kelsey (recovering runner), the TRC Podcast is friendly, jargon-free, and the perfect accompaniment to your runs.
