Ep 187 - Holly Rush on running influencers, PBs and switching to ultras

Send us Fan MailBoy, is Holly Rush an interesting guest in this episode of Bad Boy Running! (And Jody and David didn't make a single joke about nominative determinism!) Starting out in marathons as fun runner, Holly explains her journey from standing as a spectator watching with a beer to going all the way to the European Championships and representing England and Great Britain. She talks about her frustration at trying to beat a PB that just wouldn't fall and her eventual move into ultrarunning. That, in itself, is a fascinating story, but now Holly leads the Asics Frontrunner programme that brings on ordinary runners as ambassadors for the brand. David quizzes Holly on the programme and her thoughts about running social media influencers and the direction of the sport. And then the discussion turns to Marathon Talk for which Holly is a presenter.  Enjoy! If you enjoyed this episode please SUBSCRIBE to get every episode delivered to you before everyone else.
