Ardent Run Club: Episode 20 - Jamie Wright - 70 Half Marathons

On this episode Tomi speaks with the passionate running, Instagram famous, gear loving Jamie Wright (@jamies.running). Jamie is from the North East of England and he's been running for the last few three to four years, improving drastically every year! He's built a following of over 18,000 followers on Instagram, whilst building his YouTune Channel 'Jamie's Running'.

Today, Jamie shares with Tomi about how his passion for running has grown over the last few years and talks about maintaining his motivation and passion. In 2020, Jamie ran 70 half marathons in memory of a very close friend who sadly took his life. Jamie mentions how the deeper meaning behind his running is what inspires him to get up every morning at 05:30 to run even when he doesn't feel like it.

He speaks about the ultra marathon he did last year and what spurred that on.

Jamie says his improvement over the last few years comes mainly down to his consistency of training, and he's challenging himself to be more organised in his self coaching in order to improve further.

Tomi and Jamie discuss gear including Jamie's favourite running shoes (If you know him...you know he loves shoes)!

Jamie shares how he got through 2020 and how his running helped him throughout the tough year, and his goals for 2021!
