85: What Does Running a PB Actually Feel...

The Running Channel
About this episode

We're deep into autumn marathon series and whether you're running your first ever marathon, or you're aiming for a particular time - you simply can't beat the feeling of crossing the finish line with a new personal best. Andy, Rick and Sarah delve into what running a PB actually feels like both physically and mentally. Rick, in particular, is gearing up for a half marathon PB with ASICS, a significant milestone as this will be his longest run since major knee surgery.

The Running Channel Podcast  tackles one big topic each episode, amongst helpful tips and light-hearted chat on the latest news in the running world. 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.
