This is a very special episode as it takes us through the fascinating story of Charlie Crick, an 800m athlete from Kent who has been on quite the journey.

At a young age, Charlie was incredibly talented on and off the track, gaining a 100% scholarship to a top UK Secondary/High school as well as topping the UK rankings for 1500m. 

Through his teenage years, he faced challenges with injury and the increasing demands of his academics but started to make real strides in the running world when going to University!

Listen to this episode to hear the full story of Charlie's progression and learn how he got to a University in America!

I am currently doing most of the interviews from my box room in Kent. I really hope you enjoy listening to the episodes I have put out. This is a long-term venture for me and I am just getting started. I appreciate any followers of the pod and I welcome you on this journey.

This week's episode is with 2h29 Elite Marathon runner Phily Bowden. 

Phily is a great example of an athlete who has worked her way through the age groups and competed in every event from the hurdles to the 800m before moving to the longer distances of 5k, 10k and Marathon. 

Her journey is not only inspiring but incredibly relatable. Phily share the lessons she has learnt along the way and how you can ensure you run the best marathon you can!

Phily speaks about the importance of rest in hard blocks of training and letting your hair down once you've achieved a goal!

This episode of the podcast is with none other than Jake Smith.  Jake is one of the most talented distance runners in the UK right now and holds the British record for the under 23 Half Marathon. 
Jake grew up in Hong Kong which is known for its immense heat and dense population. Jake used to train on a treadmill and was limited to just one hour of training outside a day.  It was in Hong Kong that  his the ability to cope with mileage came from and this has developed in recent years under the guidance of James Thie in Cardiff.  Jake is surrounded by a fantastic group of athletes who constantly push him to the next goal.
It was great to catch up with Jake especially as I thoroughly enjoyed following his journey up to this point.  With the recent news that Jake has signed for Nike, there is no doubt that his 2022 is looking bright.
I really hope you enjoy this episode of the podcast and make sure to check it out on Instagram, YouTube and Twitter!
