Ep 48: Virtual Great Welsh Marathon/Half Marathon Companion 2021

We know that times are still uncertain and we know there is a lot of frustration about races being postponed. We shared that frustration and we wanted to do something that would hopefully help us and help you. So for this week's edition of the Front Runner Radio podcast, we have tried to be a little bit different. Myself and members of the team got together to chat about race day, what we would be typically doing, what we would expect you to be doing, we chat about pre-race, mid-race and post race and a lot more in between. This is our way of joining you on your virtual running experience and will hopefully go someway to filling that void of race day. We would also like to thank our friends at The Turmeric Co and it's founder Hal Robson-Kanu for support with this virtual edition.
