Chris Richardson 100k World Championships - Young Hearts Run Free Podcast - Season 12 Eps 7

Our final guest of 2024. And we’re off on our travels, the destination this episode is India. Bangalore to be exact, host city of the recent IAU 100k World Championships.

Chris Richardson joins us to regale his epic Asian adventure

First stop though is some where much more familiar as we get the lowdown from Chris on his performance at the 2024 Anglo Celtic Plate on the North Inch of Perth that clinched him a spot on the GB and Northern Ireland team for the worlds.

We learn about what attracted Chris to turn his focus on the 100k distance, the dedicated training it take and find out how measured he is his race strategizing.

With an impressive marathon PB tucked neatly in his back pocket Chris gives us a great insight in to the differences he’s made to adjust to going for the 100k difference, the patience it takes and the mindset it requires.

Of course we focus most of our time hearing from Chris as to how events unfolded in the heat of Bangalore. A scintillating team performance made for a hat full of accolades across the men’s and women’s teams. An individual performance from Chris equally as stunning.

From overloading on curries to stumbling to the finish line and everything in between this is an epic listen from an honest, humble and authentic racing machine.
