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 Olympian Rose Harvey. Rose ran an outstanding PB of 2:23:21 at the 2023 Chicago Marathon – putting her fifth on the British all-time list – it meant the 31-year-old achieved the unfathomable and qualified to run the marathon for Team GB at her debut Olympic Games in Paris. 4 years prior to this Rose was a corporate lawyer, working late most nights and squeezing runs in when she could. So how does it feel to go from social runner to Olympian? And when you finally achieve the Olympic dream but injury strikes, how do you cope with race day? We ask Rose all of these questions in this episode, as well as asking her what’s next?
