Description
Join us as we hear from Richard Askwith, a runner for 40 years and author of numerous books on the subject of running. Richard shares insights into his journey, from unintentionally intertwining personal tales about fell running in his book “Feet in the Clouds”, to exploring the challenges of ageing as a runner in “The Race Against Time.” This episode is full of fascinating stories about the world of running and writing, including the Bob Graham Round and Richard’s recent participation in the World Championships. Hear his reflections on the physiological and mental benefits of running in later life, and the importance of staying active and setting challenging goals whatever your age and stage in life.
