The Thrills of Racing and the Importance of Training Camps

Welcome to Day 2 of 10 Days in Tokyo! In this special limited series of The Running Channel podcast, Sarah, Rick and Andy unpack all the action from the World Athletics Championships - along with exclusive behind-the-scenes insights you'd never see on the TV.

It was an action-packed day of athletics, featuring what might be the closest finish in marathon history, as Tanzania’s Alphonce Simbu edged out Amanal Petros to take Gold. In the sprints, USA and Jamaica dominated the headlines in the men’s and women’s 100m finals.

Rick's in a good mood as his skincare is improving day by day, Andy's clocking up miles with locals in Yoyogi Park AND somehow, Sarah got completely lost in the Japan National Stadium.
