Dr Richard Blagrove is a man who knows his stuff when it comes to improving the performance of endurance runners.

This is an episode for those of you genuinely interested in diving deeper into how to improve your own running through the use of strength and conditioning.

I was kindly invited to where Rich is based at Loughborough University in the UK to talk with him about his latest research and findings.

At the age of 80, Richard Brisley took up running.

I found myself in Richard's living room to find out what made him begin running at 80 years old. Richard has a unique perspective - we talk about his running highlights, the accident that stopped him running for a while, and his memories of World War 2.

As the oldest guest to ever appear on JOG ON, this conversation was a real privilege. Richard demonstrates that later life doesn’t have to always be done sitting down or even walking.

We'd be grateful if you could recommend the JOG ON Podcast to a running friend to help us grow.

In 2019 Anya Culling ran a 4:34 marathon. A few years later, she was being selected to run for England.

Anya's improvement in the past few years has been staggering, so I wanted to learn more about her journey.

We discussed some of Anya's career highlights so far, as well as the struggles and pressure that can come with performing at the highest level.
