Episode 31 - James Shipley (ATW)

Damo and Scott have a brief non-running catch up before a preview of the Colchester FNR 5k - both the Elite race and the Essex Champs contenders.

This was the perfect time to then have a chat with Mr Events ATW himself, James Shipley who started ATW as a training plan company before taking the reigns on a local 5 mile race - a decision that set him on the path to establishing ATW as a running and triathlon event coordinator who now organise 170 events per year!

(note, this was recorded before Essex Champs entries were reviewed and finalised - there is a category for U20 (17, 18 and 19 year old) which the younger lads mentioned and Lizzie Wellsted will compete in).

Episode 30 - Gemma Kersey

We had Gemma in the studio as a co-host and guest in September 2024 but we decided not to put the interview out at the time because we felt that we only scratched the surface in the limited time that we had back then.

So finally we aligned our diaries and sat down to have a relaxed conversation about Gemma's life in running.

Episode 29 - The Distance Project

It's been a few weeks since our last episode but we are back with a bang.

Sacrificing a proper results round-up, after a brief catch-up between Scott and Damo, we talked to footballer-come-lockdown-runner and subsequtnely World Championship Silver Medalist Callum Elson.

Callum explains the purpose of The Distance Project, how and why he returned from the US as a middle-distance runner and shared our views on the current state of Athletics and whether Grand Slam Track is good for the sport.
