Running Tales spoke to Tony Collier towards the end of last year. Diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer, Tony - whose running achievements included completing all six marathon majors and the 55-mile Comrades Ultra Marathon in South Africa - had been determined to keep on running. You can listen to that conversation on Series 2 Episode 26 of Running Tales. Since his diagnosis, Tony has completed a number of challenges for charity, including recently finishing a run streak of at least 5km every day in 2022.

2022, how the hell are ye?!?! We're right back in the old routine here at YHRF HQ. And we've our first guest of 2022 in this brilliant episode that see's us get the year off to a flyer! First up, John n Steven catch up on what's been happening this last week. We chat about the WHW bridge crowdfunder for the late John Kynaston, annual mileage goals, John's race plans for 2022, running every street in your home city (like Michael Shanks just done in Glasgow) and we set Steven on his way to the Boston Marathon with a first look at his coaching under the expert tutelage of Bob Turner & Pyllon Trax. Soon you'll have enough of us and it's over to the magnificent Karla Borland to brighten up your entire week. Karla took up running (seriously) whilst at Uni and managed a superb debut marathon time of 3 hrs 20 mins in 2008. Since then, she has pushed that marathon PB down to well below 3 hours. She's also had the sheer delight of repping her home country, Northern Ireland, in the 2021 Anglo Celtic Plate 100k champs. Amongst tons of running adventures a trip to complete the Comrades Ultra Marathon in South Africa ranks high up her list of achievements. So, an extremely talented athlete. But she finds time to do much much more aside, a busy day job already mixed with a disciplined approach to her training, Karla also blogs regularly on her own website (link at bottom of show notes) about her own running as well as some fantastic interviews with runners from across the spectrum of distances. Essential reading! Karla is a brilliant guest who loves the social side of running but has found a real stubborn streak in her approach to running to squeeze out every bit of talent she has, she calls it being 'thran' we call it being awesome. Oh, and last thing. We've a challenge for you this week! We want you to share with us the oldest (and mouldiest?) bit of running kit you own!
