  • Ep. 69 - Judith Storm Interview - Belfast Classic Recap - Belfast Marathon Recap
    May 13 2026

    In episode 69 of the Back Straight Podcast we keep it pretty simple with a recap of two recent events; The Belfast City Marathon and the Belfast Classic, whilst also featuring an interview with the recent national marathon champion, Judith Storm. The action in the marathon and at the Belfast Classic was unforgettable and it was great fun delving into it together. We also really enjoyed the chat with Judith, someone that we didn't know too much about but are now eagerly watching for all of the future events she signs up to. Thanks go to Judith for joining us on the episode and also to our listeners to tuning in! Until next time, hooroo!
