CHALLENGE REVEALED! Run A Faster 5K in 10 Weeks (and how YOU can too) | Challenge Andy EP2

7th September 2019

Do you want to run a faster 5km? You set The Running Channel’s Andy Baddeley a 10 week challenge – follow Andy’s training to see how he goes about it, and we’ll show you how to adapt the training to help hit your running targets and learn from an Olympic finalist!

Andy is the parkrun World Record Holder (13:48, since you ask). But since retirement, he fell out of love with running – but a few years later – he is now finding his feet again. For your viewing pleasure, Andy will undertake a 10-week challenge to see just how fit he can get, and take on a goal chosen by you. Follow his progress here on The Running Channel.
