Em Clarkson: “I Started Running Because I Hated My Body… Now I Love It”

24th July 2024

The Running Channel Meets is where we talk to real runners with incredible stories. Each episode we speak with people who inspire us to run, and give our guests an opportunity to tell their stories, often for the first time.

In this episode we chat with Emily Clarkson. Like many people, Emily started running driven by hate for her own body. She wanted to change it and felt running was the way to do that. But since the early days of running Emily has massively changed the way she views running, as well as her own body. We chat about how Emily views running now, and how her goals have shifted since having a baby.

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. For all enquiries contact podcast@therunningchannel.com
