Ardent Run Club: Episode 19 - Ali Bailey - Pushing Yourself to the Limit

On this episode, Tomi speaks with another athlete from the North East, in Ali Bailey. He runs for Gateshead Harriers with coach John Stephenson's group and his love for running goes beyond the competition and the medals. He's all about getting out there, having fun and testing his limits.  

Ali talks about what got him into running and his journey moving from an endurance cyclist to an endurance runner, who is able to run sub 2:30 hr marathons!

He takes us through his training and has a few funny stories to tell about when his races have gone wrong!

Right now, Ali is training for the Bob Graham Round as another way to see how far he can push his body, which he gets into on this episode.

Ali encourages us to look for hope in 2021, no matter your current circumstance.
