Embracing Resilience: The Marathon Journey

The Running Channel Meets is where we talk to real runners with incredible stories. Each episode we speak with people who inspire us to run, and give our guests an opportunity to tell their stories, often for the first time.

In this episode we chat with Ant Bryan. After being left paralysed at age 6 from a stroke, Ant didn’t picture sport in his future, but he has spent many years proving people wrong and going further than he thought he ever could. He has achieved gold medals for running as a ParaAthlete and in 2024 he set out to complete the London Marathon and set a Guinness World Record. We spoke with Ant before London Marathon to learn more about how he had found training and what challenges he was facing preparing to run a marathon for the first time.

The Running Channel Meets was born from The Running Channel podcast. Hosted by Sarah Hartley (amateur runner) and Andy Baddeley (former pro runner) alongside Rick Kelsey (recovering runner), the TRC Podcast is friendly, jargon-free, and the perfect accompaniment to your runs.
