Running The Red Line
As runners, we all challenge ourselves in ways we never thought possible. Pushing the boundaries of what we’re capable of to smash through targets and set ourselves new bigger and better ones. This awesome hobby we share gives us one thing in common and it brings us together as a community. Whether you’re working towards completing your first Parkrun, or you’re a veteran of the sport who’s run 100 ultra marathons, we all know the feeling of reaching that maxed out effort and our own Red Line. Welcome to our podcast where your hosts Brett Elesmore and Andy Maguire discuss the struggles, the successes and everything in-between on our running journeys as we all work towards the next time we’re Running The Red Line...
