The Running Channel
About this episode

The Running Channel Meets is where we talk to real runners with incredible stories. Each episode we speak with people who inspire us to run, and give our guests an opportunity to tell their stories, often for the first time.

In this episode we chat with Fintan O’Malley who is training to run a 330 kilometre ultra marathon in memory of his daughter Millie, who sadly passed away at just 33 days old. Fintan has experienced heartbreaking grief but is determined to create a legacy for Millie. We discuss his training, how he motivates himself to run and what the 330 km challenge will involve.

Topics that we discuss in this episode:

IVF

Death of a child

The Running Channel Meets was born from The Running Channel podcast. 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.
