Great North Run Special Part 2

In the second part of our Great North Run Specials, Paula Radcliffe and Chris Thompson speak to Belgian Olympic medallist Bashir Abdi who just ran in his FIFTH GNR! Bashir talks about his rocky journey since Paris after suffering a serious injury, missing the joy of running, what he loves about the Great North Run, his Olympic travel HICCUP and how to deal with race day stress. PLUS Bashir gives us his predictions for the Athletics World Championship Marathons in Tokyo and will his son beat his own records?!   Paula and Thommo also reflect on their personal Great North experiences and why it’s one of their favourite races. We based ourselves up in Gateshead for this one so make sure to WATCH on YouTube to see our amazing view from Brendan's office! We LOVE hearing from you so comment, get in touch with the club to ask any questions on tips for running, marathons, half marathons, 5k, 10k, or just a jog. We can help with nutrition, recovery and how to put one foot in front of the other!
