The focus this week is on two pioneers of running. Both Kathrine Switzer and Bobbi Gibb took part in the Boston Marathon in the 1960s changing the future of women’s long distance running forever. In between reports, Lorna provides us with a whole bunch of fascinating facts about the history of running.
Matt also shares his story about getting sunburnt during a race, whilst Lorna talks about how she swims at the same pace at all times to the exasperation of her parents.
