This week on Chasing the Finish we’re celebrating a huge milestone, one whole year of podcasting!
Join us as we look back at where it all began, revisit our very first episode, and marvel at how we’ve somehow managed to keep talking about running for 12 straight months without being banned from Spotify.
We also recap our trip to Shustoke for the Centurion Summer Pub Run 10K, where the running was challenging, the pub was welcoming and our race-day decision-making was, at times, questionable.
With the Two Castles 10K upcoming, we discuss our preparations, race goals, pacing plans and whether we’ll be chasing PBs, survival or simply the finish line itself.
Expect the usual mix of running chat, race nerves, questionable training choices and plenty of laughs as we celebrate our first birthday and gear up for another castle-filled adventure.
Lace up, press play, and join us for a trip down memory lane — preferably at an easier pace than our last interval session.
