--- 🏃‍♂️ EPISODE OVERVIEW ---

In Episode 142 of the Local Runners Podcast, we sit down with George Lewis. With PBs of 19min for 5k, Half 1:23, marathon 3:04, George has really taken to running. He did a marathon in 2012 at Manchester in the worst conditions known to man, but he tells us how he got back into running after that. George is known for his comedy videos on Instagram and Tiktok, making some great observations. Since getting the running bug he has made some brilliant videos, one being about Parkrun. George talks about his training for London marathon and how he just threw himself fully into the training. With James Moles in the interview too, James was able to share some insights into his training and how the athlete / coach dynamic works. George loves a gadget or two, from his mass of running shoes, compression boots and his new Garmin upgrade from an Apple Watch.
