With Sarah still on holiday, Rick and Andy are left to their own devices this week as they explore how to run fast while keeping a low heart rate. They break down the science, training structures, and heart rate zones, and share strategies to help you master heart rate control while running.

They also speak with former British middle-distance runner and now sports commentator Hannah England about the athletes to watch at the upcoming World Athletic Championships in Tokyo, which is just 100 days away.

The Running Channel Podcast tackles one big topic each episode, amongst helpful tips and light-hearted chat on the latest news in the running world. 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.
