Breaking Running World Records, After Being Told I’d Never Walk Again

12th June 2024

In this episode of The Running Channel Meets, we chat with Ant Bryan. After being left paralysed at age 6 from a stroke, Ant didn’t picture sport in his future, but he has spent many years proving people wrong and going further than he thought he ever could.

He has achieved gold medals for running as a ParaAthlete and in 2024 he set out to complete the London Marathon and set a Guinness World Record. We spoke with Ant before London to learn more about how he had found training and what challenges he was facing preparing to run a marathon for the first time.

The Running Channel Meets was born from The Running Channel podcast. Hosted by Sarah Hartley (amateur runner) and Andy Baddeley (former pro runner) alongside Rick Kelsey (recovering runner), the TRC Podcast is friendly, jargon-free, and the perfect accompaniment to your runs.
